PHP QUESTION TO UPLOAD JPEGS TO SERVER

[dadms]

Is it possible to make a form or something similar that allows users to upload files into the server without having them FTP it? If so any suggestions where I could start looking?

 

[xWastedMindx]

Yes it is possible.

Where to look? GOOGLE is your best friend.

in the form use the file input box:
[blue]

<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;myscript.php&quot; enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;>
<input type=&quot;file&quot; name=&quot;images&quot;>
</form>

[/blue]
You can then manipulate the image using php's built in array thingy ie:

[blue]$_FILES['images'][/blue]

Not me.. I'm not even in school. Plus I graduated already from both High School, and College.

Maybe it's just a coincidence that everyone is asking similar questions around the same time.

function uploadFile() {
        // import form data into local function
        global $ulFile, $ulFile_name, $ulFile_type;

        if (isset($ulFile) && $ulFile_name) {
