Uploading question

**tray** · 11-Aug-2004 09:37 PM

OK here comes the stupid question of the week. I love your script, very well documented. I do not write in php but I have it up and running. It works great except I can not figure out how to get it to upload. I have,

File to Upload:

in my form and have set the php on line 1270 to read:

PHP Code:



define("FILEUPLOADS",true);                    // set to true to allow file attachments

I checked with my hosting company and they have informed me that my server allows uploads. They asked the question of where is the file being uploaded to? I am getting the emails that the php script is sending as follows:

email: bob@bob.com

realname: matt berry

mesg: blah blah test test

uploaded_file: /home/matt/blah.txt

What am I missing???

I would also like to have the end user be able to browse their computer for the file they want to upload. How do I add that feature to my form?

The sample form is setup at http://tntpics.com/sampleform.html

Thanks for your help. From a guy that knows knowing about php, I can tell you everything else went fine.

<body>
<p>This form demonstrates the use of formmail.php.
<br>Note that formmail.php requires a one line change
to work. Use a text editor to read the information
at the top of formmail.php.
<p>Also, you need to change this form using a text editor;

Hi,

You've got everything right, except for a missing quote.

This line:

Code:

<td><input type="file" name=uploaded_file" />

should be this:

Code:

<td><input type="file" name="uploaded_file" />
