Problems uploading - "No such file or directory"

[groovygarden]

Hi,

I'm trying to write code to let users upload a file to my server.

The form I use is like this:

<form enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot; action=&quot;/admin/preview.php&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; name=&quot;add&quot;>
  <input name=&quot;MAX_FILE_SIZE&quot; type=&quot;hidden&quot; value=&quot;1000&quot;>
  <P>Upload File<br>
     <input name=&quot;testfile&quot; type=&quot;file&quot; size=&quot;40&quot;>
  </P>
  <input name=&quot;submit&quot; type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</form>

I process the data like this:

if(!empty($testfile)) { 

    //copy the file to permanent location 
    copy($testfile, "\files\myfile.txt"); 

    //destroy the file 
    unlink($testfile); 
}

Pretty basic, but I just wanted to see if it would work... it didn't! I get this error message when trying to process the form:

Warning: Unable to open 'C:\PHP\uploadtemp\php26.tmp' for reading: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\admin\preview.php on line 14

Any ideas as to what (probably really obvious thing) I'm doing wrong?

Thanks a lot

Insufficient data for a meaningful answer.

Which is line 14? It's not obvious.

How are you assigning values to any variables you are using?

Have you based your upload script on the examples from the PHP online manual? (

Hi,

Line 14 is

copy($testfile, "\files\myfile.txt");

where i try to copy $testfile to a permenant location. I also get the same error when I use unlink:

unlink($testfile);

The only variable I'm setting is $testfile and that comes from the form...

 

[spookie]

when using copy or unlink function use variable $testfile_name(The original name of the file) instead of only $testfile..

so ur line 14 shd be

copy($testfile_name, "\files\myfile.txt"

also if ur unlinking u also have to use variable $testfile_name ..
ie
unlink($testfile_name);

Last time I checked, the [tt]name[/tt] variable held the name that the file had at the client. //Daniel
