How can you upload a file?

I didn't understand that post vars thing... Any help on it?

here's a sample file that should work for you. it should save the uploaded file in the same directory as the script (make sure it's writable by PHP), with the same name as it had when it was uploaded.

<?php

if (isset($_FILES['test']))
{
    if ($_FILES['test']['tmp_name'] == '' || $_FILES['test']['tmp_name'] == 'none')
    {
        die('No file selected.');
    }

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['test']['tmp_name'], "./{$_FILES[test][name]}"))
    {
        echo 'File successfully saved to: ', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']), "/{$_FILES[test][name]}";
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'File upload failed!';
    }
}
else
{
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Select a file to upload: <input type="file" name="test" /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php
}

?>

if your version of PHP is less than 4.1.0, change $_FILES to $HTTP_POST_FILES and $_SERVER to $HTTP_SERVER_VARS.

If I were to make something to display these, would I make a mysql table to store the filename?

What would I store? The full path? What variable?

And hwo could I make it go into a different folder?

Would I change the upload and move path?

I want it so that uploader.php upload to /uploads/ but it's at main root.

Thats pretty easy, thankfully!

Find this line:

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['test']['tmp_name'], "./{$_FILES[test][name]}")) 

specifically,

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['test']['tmp_name'], "./{$_FILES[test][name]}" 

more specifically:

"./{$_FILES[test][name]}" 

now you see the "./"? that says "current directory". If you wish to change it to uploads, just add uploads/!

"./uploads/{$_FILES[test][name]}" 

full:

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['test']['tmp_name'], "./uploads/{$_FILES[test][name]}")) 

hope that helps with that

Now, when you are talking about listing all the files in a directory? Well, theirs a simplier way to do it without using mysql...

<?php

if ( $dir = @opendir("./uploads") )
{
    while ( ($file = readdir($dir)) !== false )
    {
        if ( $file != "." && $file != ".." )
        {
            echo $file . "<br />\n";
        }
    }  
closedir($dir);
}
else
{
    echo "Could not open directory!";
}
?>

that will simply list every file in a directory.
