How to access file from multipart/form-data [ PHP ] - php

Question

I have a frontend of my application writen in angular which basicly pick the file and send backend file name and rest of the form information:
Frontend part looks like:
$scope.submit = function() {
if ($scope.file) {
$scope.upload($scope.file);
}
};
// upload on file select or drop
$scope.upload = function (file) {
Upload.upload({
url: 'sub.php',
data: {file: file, 'country': $scope.submodelCountry}
}).then(function (resp) {
console.log('Success ' + resp.config.data.file.name + ' uploaded. Response: ' + resp.data);
}, function (resp) {
console.log('Error status: ' + resp.status);
}, function (evt) {
var progressPercentage = parseInt(100.0 * evt.loaded / evt.total);
console.log('progress: ' + progressPercentage + '% ' + evt.config.data.file.name);
});
};
My backend is written in PHP:
I basicly access this 2 variabiles by:
$fileName = $_FILES['file']['name']; // value = fileName.csv
$country = $_POST['country']; // value = CZE
So looks my backend get all needed information however I am not able to fopen the file with $file = fopen($fileName,"r");
How can I access this file guys? Or how can I upload it on a server to use it after?

Answer 1

you have to upload the file to some folder, then you can access that,
Your file will be present in tmp directory, so
Use move_uploaded_files(), to move your file,
<?php
$uploads_dir = '/uploads';
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"$uploads_dir/".$_FILES["file"]["file_name"])){
echo "file uploaded";
}
?>
