File upload problem ... 1

[dbeezzz]

So I'm trying to upload a file to my php server but the move_uploaded_file() function keeps just returning false. I'm working on windows/apache.
This is my $_FILES array

[fileupload] => Array
        (
            [name] => spacer.gif
            [type] => image/gif
            [tmp_name] => /tmp\php154.tmp
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 43
        )

... the tmp filename seems to be illegal. But I don't know how to get around it if that really is the problem. I've tried changing around the files and folders, and uploading .jpg files instead of .gif but no luck ...

oh, and here is my code ... taken almost straight from the php manual

$uploaddir = './';
	$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
	
	echo '<pre>';
	if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
   		echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
	} else {
   		echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
	}

	echo 'Here is some more debugging info:';
	print_r($_FILES);

	print "</pre>";

... help

change these lines:

$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
           echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
    } else {
           echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
    }

to

$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['fileupload']['name']);
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileupload']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
           echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
    } else {
           echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
    }

just copy and paste.

it looks to me that you have named your upload field "fileupload" and not "userfile" as the php.net script uses.
