TAD OF PHP HELP +REP

[iUnknown]

Hello,

I'm trying to make an uploader that when you upload a file, it uploads it to a directory (the path contains a variable but i don't think that's a problem). So anyway, that bit is straight forward. But then I want it to post something, to do with the file it's just uploaded. I want it to post a path, then the file that was just uploaded's name name. So, here is my code:

The form:


<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>The code found on uploader.php:



<?

// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "/home/shoutcas/public_html/autodj/". $valid_user ."/";

/* Add the original filename to our target path.
Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];

$target_path = "/home/shoutcas/public_html/autodj/". $valid_user ."/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != "GET")
{
$filename = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'];
$fd = fopen("/home/shoutcas/public_html/autodj/". $valid_user ."/playlist.lst","w");
fwrite($fd, "/home/shoutcas/public_html/autodj/". $valid_user ."/". $filename ." |\n");
}
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded and added to the playlist.";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

?>Now, when I upload a file, it always gives me the "else" part (aka the error and it's failed).

Can anybody spot anything that's wrong?

Thanks in advance, I will give +rep of course. I may be having a few more posts, if I see you continuing to contribute to help me with problems I will be giving a gift in £ or HCs. :)

Its smarter to use a php variable to check the max size of the file.
You might also want to make it check the extension? Say if they were to "accedently" upload & run a linux executable virus. Bibi server.

Thanks for that.

I'm closing the thread now, no longer need help for this.
