That doesn't look like a complete script, the php file is trying to display things like the size etc but you havent asked for them
print("File name: $file_name/n");
print("File size: $file_size bytes/n");

file_name and file_size will always be false (empty) as they aren't assigned a value anywhere.

You also need to set your path, if on web server something like var/site/home or whatever, on localhost (pc) set to your php file directory root.

Your question in post #8, no you can't scan your file with antivirus program, on your own server you can. You can however set limits to what type of files can be uploaded, what size, where from ... play safe, never trust anybody.

you might need to find yourself a better upload script, tried hotscripts.com ?

ctrl+f for "garyds at miraclemedia dot ca"

Of course, if you're using someone else's script, you should check with the developer first.

Did you make changes to your script?

wyatt_tsik — Thu, 13 May 2004 08:05:49 +0000

Thanks for the response, I really appreciate it.

Still, the upload.php file are the one that is being uploaded and not the file that I had specified when browsed.

Since I am an amateur in this field, I cant seem to know where the programming of the php (upload.php) or demo.html files got wrong?

Also, is it possible to have the file scanned by an anti-virus apps before saving it to the server? May I also get an advice advice. pls.

Pls help!

True. I seem to bump into newer versions more than older that won't use the $HTTP_ because it's not set properly for the script. It would have to be a much older version (than 4.1.0) for it not to work.

Regardless, the links provide all the helpful information you should need to get it working.

lol it's $HTTP_ or $_FILES . i played it safe just incase he had an old version of PHP.

Suzanne — Wed, 12 May 2004 13:31:16 +0000

Whoa, guys...

It's $_FILES, not $_POST nor the old $HTTP_ stuff.

I'm going to move this post to server side scripting (just in the interest of forum cleanliness )
