[PHP] HTML Form with method=POST and enctype=multipart/form-data is not working for passing data to the web server.
Dear Friends These is my sample code test1.html !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN HTML HEAD TITLE New Document /TITLE META NAME=Generator CONTENT=EditPlus META NAME=Author CONTENT= META NAME=Keywords CONTENT= META NAME=Description CONTENT= /HEAD BODY form name=frm1 method=POST action=test1.php3 enctype=multipart/form-data input type=text name=text1 value= input type=file name=file1 input type=submit name=btnsubmit value=Submit /form /BODY /HTML test1.php3 html headtitleTest Page/title/head body form ? echo $text1; echo $file1; echo $file1_name; copy($file1,d:\prashant\$file1); ? /form /body /html I am Facing the problem that if i use enctype=multipart/form-data in form object then i am unable to retrieve the values passed from .html form. So if i am using a File Upload control in my form without the enctype attribute,then i get a warning message Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in /home/httpd/html/fai/test1.php3 on line 12 i.e My HTML Form with Post Method and enctype attribute=multipart/form-data is not working for passing data to the web server. The problem can be solved without the enctype attribute in the Form Tag where i can send the Data to the Web Server and the values getting retrieved in another Php Page, but what about if i have to upload a File using the File Upload control input type=file name=file1 in my HTML Form. It Fails in this case where i get the warning message. Can somebody help me in this regard as soon as possible ??? Thanks, Prashant S Akerkar

I don't know how your register globals are set, but you *really* ought to be getting these values from the $_FILES array: $file1_name = $_FILES['file1']['name'] etc See Chapter 18 of the PHP manual. p Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in p /home/httpd/html/fai/test1.php3 on line 12 Yeah, you can't copy nothing :) -- Best regards, Richardmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
