'How to upload file in a target folder with php?



I am new to PHP and learning it!
I have created a simple database on my localhost name 'submitpaper'
Then I have created a table name 'upload_file' having two fields (file1, file2) both are (VARCHAR 255)
I am having problem in saving files to target folder 'testupload'

Kindly Check and Review My PHP Script And HTML

PHP Script

<?php   
//This is the directory where files will be saved  
$target = "testupload/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);

//This gets all the other information from the form  
$file1=($_FILES['file1']['name']);
$file2=($_FILES['file2']['name']);

// Connects to your Database  
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "")
//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `upload_file` VALUES ('$file1', '$file2')") ;

//Writes the photo to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target))  {
//Tells you if its all ok  
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). "has been uploaded,        and your information has been added to the directory";  }
else {   
//Gives and error if its not  echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";      }

?>

HTML FILE CODE

<html>
<body>

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post"
 enctype="multipart/form-data">
File1:<input type="file" name="file1" id="file1"><br>
File2:<input type="file" name="file2" id="file2">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

</body>

Solution 1:[1]

You are trying to access the file name incorrectly in $_FILES['file']['name']. You have to use like $_FILES['nameoffile']['name'] where nameoffile is the name of the file you have given for the file input field. ie as,

$_FILES['file1']['name']

CODE:

$target = "testupload/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['file1']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file1']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{
}

The following code may useful for you.

$target = "Admin/upload/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']); 
$pic=($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']); 
//Writes the photo to the server 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{ 
    //Tells you if its all ok 
    //echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; 
} 
else 
{ 
    //Gives and error if its not 
    //echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
}

Before that you have to Read and Write permission for the file upload path folder.
