I need to make an upload page in my site, I'm using an altervista trial server.
I used the tutorial http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp
but the upload doesn't work. maybe, as I read is a permission issue, but I don't have the slightest idea on how to change the permissions of my folders.
Is it possible to add also pdf in the uploadable files?
thanks

As of w3 schools, they have created many conditions for the example. But we don't need follow it strictly. We can use it only if we needed.
Here's the Minimal Code that you can have
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
echo 'succesfully uploaded';
$structure = 'uploadedfiles/';
$target_file = $structure.basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file);
}
?>
If you use the above code you should create a folder named as uploadedfiles in the folder where you keep this file.
Else if you need to create each folder for each file upload then you should code.. It will create the file's name as folder each time.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
echo 'succesfully uploaded';
$structure = $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"];
if (!mkdir($structure, 777, true))
{}
$target_file = $structure.basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file);
}
?>
As you suggested in your post, try to change the permission of the folder following the code below:
chmod("/tmp/uploads", 0777);
you are using absolute path linux type, /tmp/uploads, if you are using linux try to show permission folder with "ls -l /tmp/uploads", if you are using windows hosts maybe you can print the path $target_file, inthe w3schools example the tagtet_path doesnt have the "/" "tmp/uploads" != "/tmp/uploads".

I've created a basic upload form and everything works fine to upload, but I'm unable to find a way to add the file description to the page. I'd like it to go here under "Description":
uploads page
HTML Form:
<form action="/scripts/upload.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select a file to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload"><br />
<textarea id="FileDescription" name="FileDescription" rows="1" placeholder="*File description" required></textarea> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" name="submit">
Script:
<?php
$target_dir = "../uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$df = disk_free_space("../uploads/");
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$check = filesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
}
// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check file size
if ($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["size"] > $df) {
echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
echo "The file " . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]) . " has
been uploaded.";
} else {
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
}
?>
The <textarea> tag must be linked to the form.
Use it this way:
<form action="/scripts/upload.php" id="myForm" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select a file to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload"><br />
<textarea id="FileDescription" form="myForm" name="FileDescription" rows="1" placeholder="*File description" required></textarea> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" name="submit">
</form>
Only then, the content of the texarea is transferred. You can access the description then with $_POST["FileDescription"]. To use it as the Apache description, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_autoindex.html#adddescription
I need to create a simple web page via which you can upload a image file that goes to a directory on the server that is previously created.
Here's the code for the index.php file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here's the code for the upload.php:
<?php
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
if($check !== false) {
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
$uploadOk = 1;
} else {
echo "File is not an image.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
}
?>
The code is hosted on a free hosting server (not a paid one) and I created a dir called 'uploads' in the same subdirectory where both scripts are located.
In the php settings uploading seems to be on.
The index.php displays fine, I select an image and click upload, it loads for a second and then displays 'File is an image - image/gif.'
However when I got to the upload dir, there isn't a single file there.
What could be the issue? Thank you in advance.
You aren't moving the file to your server after uploading the temp file so it gets deleted
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
} else {
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
}
This issue might have been discussed multiple times but I wanted a simple PHP script to upload a file, without any separate action file and without any checks. Below is my written code:-
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="upload file" name="submit">
</form>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo '<p>FILE UPLOAD</p><br>';
$tgt_dir = "uploads/";
$tgt_file = $tgt_dir.basename($_FILES['fileToUpload']['name']);
echo "<br>TARGET FILE= ".$tgt_file;
//$filename = $_FILES['fileToUpload']['name'];
echo "<br>FILE NAME FROM VARIABLE:- ".$_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"];
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
if(file_exists("uploads/".$_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]))
{ echo "<br>file exists, try with another name"; }
else {
echo "<br>STARTING UPLOAD PROCESS<br>";
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $tgt_file))
{ echo "<br>File UPLOADED:- ".$tgt_file; }
else { echo "<br>ERROR WHILE UPLOADING FILE<br>"; }
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>
I saved it in /var/www/html/phps/ location. But everytime I try to upload the file, I get ERROR WHILE UPLOADING FILE error. What am I doing wrong here. P.S. I have no previous experience of PHP, I just started with bits & pieces from internet.
Thanks

<?php
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir .
basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
echo "The file ".basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
}
else {
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
?>
I hope that this thing will work and this is what you are in need of.
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$image = $_FILES['fileToUpload']['name'];
$tempname = $_FILES['fileToUpload']['tmp_name'];
move_uploaded_file($tempname, "foldername/$image");?>
I have following code.
index.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<title>File Sharing</title>
<body>
<h1>File Sharing</h1><br/><br/>
<form action="upload.php" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select File to Share:
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"/>
<button type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" id="submit" >Share</button>
</form>
<br/>
<p> or view shared files </p>
</body>
</html>
and upload.php
<?php
if(isset($_FILES['file'])){
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
// Check file size
if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] > 50000000000000000000000000) {
echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["file"]["name"]). " has been shared.<br/>";
echo "<br/><p><a href='index.php'>Go Back</a>or<a href='download.php'>View Shared files</a></p>";
} else {
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
}
}
else{
echo"error uploading";
}
?>
following the above my files do not get uploaded. and gives "error uploading" i got many questions for this problem i tried all but none solves my problem. What's the error???
You are using the wrong method for your form. You can't "GET" data to your server. You must "POST" it.

My friend you should replace your GET method with POST
otherwise code working fine
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select File to Share:
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"/>
<button type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" id="submit" >Share</button>
</form>
I'm new to HTML/PHP and I'm trying to create a simple php file upload page.
I have this as my HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
I have this as my php:
<?php
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
if($check !== false) {
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
$uploadOk = 1;
} else {
echo "File is not an image.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
}
?>
I've uploaded both of these to the correct folder in my host (000webhost), yet when I check in my /uploads folder nothing is there. I've granted all my files read write and execute permissions to try and debug it - I'll learn about security later.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You must add this snippet of code:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file);
after that:
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
You need to move the uploaded file from the temp directory it was uploaded into, into your target directory. See the PHP docs of move_uploaded_files
With the PHP function move_uploaded_file(string $filename, string $destination) you can move the file to your desired path.
