Uploading files

[je150]

I am currently working on an upload script that places a file in a folder on my hard disk. Alone, this script works, but when i paste it in my main script, the database record is still written however the file is not uploaded. I would also like any suggestions that would help with the creation of a document routing system. Basically, uploade a file with given information, and email a link out to select people that grants them access to that file and also logs who has read it. Bit of a project.

This is the upload script
<?php
if(isset($submit))
$uploaddir = &quot;/var/

http://www/html/filedir/$file&quot;;

$newfile = $uploaddir . $filename;
if(copy($file, $newfile))
print(&quot;<h3> UPLOAD SUCCESSFUL!</h3>&quot;
?>

And this is it embedded, however, it doesnt work once placed like this


<?php
/* make connection to database */
mysql_connect($hostname,$username,$password) or die(&quot;Unable to connect to database&quot;

mysql_select_db(&quot;$dbName&quot or die(&quot;Unable to select database&quot;

print &quot;<center>&quot;;
print &quot;Data is Being Processed, please wait....&quot;;
print &quot;</center>&quot;;

/* File Upload Script */
if(isset($submit))
$uploaddir = &quot;/var/

http://www/html/filedir/$file&quot;;

$newfile = $uploaddir . $filename;
if(copy($file, $newfile));

/* Insert information into table */
$today= date(&quot;m/d/Y h:i:s&quot;
$query = &quot;insert into $userstable ( id, subject, importance, comment, time )&quot; .
&quot;values (&quot;.
&quot;'&quot; . mt_rand (10000, 999999) . &quot;',&quot; .
&quot;'&quot; . $subject . &quot;',&quot; .
&quot;'&quot; . $importance . &quot;',&quot; .
&quot;'&quot; . $comment . &quot;',&quot; .
&quot;'&quot; . $today . &quot;'&quot; .
&quot&quot;;


$result = mysql_query($query);


/* Close the database connection */
mysql_close();

?>

All the variables are set and work separately, but the upload part doesnt work when place like above, any hints would be appreciated. Thanks

I would first recommend that you make more use of PHP's support for file uploads. You are not making the best use of PHP's predefined variables and upload-handling functions.
