File uploads inquiry - Printable Version

Code:
function upload()

    {

        if($_FILES) {

            set_time_limit(30); // This line sets the amount of time the script will execute for before it stops working. I've set this to 0 so there won't be any time-out errors.



            $uploadDir = "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/f1auto_ci/uploads"; // Put in the directory that you will be uploading to. Don't forget the last '/'



            $filename = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9.]", "", $_FILES['Filedata']['name']); // Here I am taking the file name (accessed by $_FILES['Filedata']['name']) and I'm replacing any non alphanumeric characters. All that should be left is the file name, a dot and the extension.



            $uploadFile = $uploadDir . "/" . $filename; // This puts the directory and file name together in a variable. Handy for later on to keep your code easy to read.



            move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile); // This actually moves the file to the directory and file name specified by the $uploadFile variable.



            chmod($uploadFile, 0777); // Here I'm changing the permissions of the file so that we can do other things to it later on, like re-sizing images or being able to delete it from your FTP client.

            

            echo("This is complete!");
