File Upload with Filename

[sbayter]

Hi,
I need to create a form which contains some information about the person and which can handle 5 file uploads.
I need the files to be saved into a folder and the other information and the filenames get saved into a mySQL db.
I did it in ASP using some software but now I need to convert it to PHP and without any software.
Any help ?
Thanks in advance,


sbayter

This part of the PHP online manual has good information on PHP's file upload handling system:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

This part has information on MySQL database connectivity:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

Both sections have illuminating sample code.

Obviously this may need to be looped...


if(isset($_POST['userfile'])) { // file sent by form

$type=$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['type'];

$file_realname = trim($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']);
$uploaddir = "/var/web/upload/"; // upload directory


if (move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir . $file_realname)) {

// done now, change mysql and update with filename

$query="INSERT into data filename=\"$file_realname\"";
mysql_query($query);
}
}

etc etc
