PHP and uploading files

[Nonee]

Hello all,

Ok ok, I have searched the internet extensively and I cannot find
the answer to this. I have found many answers but none of which that
work. I am running an apache server on my end, local for testing, and
I have wrote a php page that will accept a file to be uploaded. See
below.


<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
<span class="smHeader">Choose a file to upload: </span></td>
<td><input name="uploadFile" type="file" />

Then on the added.php file that I post to, I have

if ($_POST["password"] == "") // Blank for now so I don't have to
type it everytime. Btw, is this secure???
{
$last = $_POST["last"];
mkdir("C:\\apache2triad\\htdocs\\condolences\\".$last);
//local file will be replaced when posted
echo "Made it! ". $_FILES['uploadFile']['name'];
if ( move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['uploadFile']
['tmp_name'],"../uploads/{$_FILES['uploadFile'] ['name']}") )
{
print '<p> The file has been successfully uploaded
</p>';
}
else
{

// ...EXCLUDED. JUST USED FOR TESTING THE ERROR
}
}

?>

Notice the echo "Made it!".$files line. It posts the made it part but
nothing for the file. Now I created a ../uploads folder (which is in
the root, correct? I never could get the . or .. stuff right). But
it just will not work. Is it because I am running the server local?
Shouldn't be... Or is it something with the php.ini config or apache
config? Please help. This is really annoying...

Thanks,

Josh

Is your form set up correctly - enctype="multipart/form-data"

The name of the file won't be in $_POST, either. It will be in
$_FILES["FieldName"]["name"]

Thank you very much! I did try the multipart thing and that didn't
work last time. Now it does. Have NO idea as to why... lol.

Thanks for the help!
