Hi,
I need a code that lets my customers upload a image file from their computer and then that file does 2 things

1. gets uploaded to upload folder on my server
2. a copy of that file gets e-mailed to me

this is what I have so far, any improvements/additions on this code would really be appreciated...

1.//GET IMAGE INFO
2.
3. $dir = 'images/';
4. $file_name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
5. $file_tmp = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
6.
7. //CHECK FOR UPLOADED FILE
8. if(is_uploaded_file($file_tmp)){
9. //MOVE TO DIR
10. move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, $dir.$file_name);
11. }

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php is a great reference for this.

Look out for these, http://us2.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.common-pitfalls.php

Here's a good function to display the appropriate error message in the event a file upload fails:

Depending on the size of uploaded files you might just want to email yourself a link to the file.

No matter how I change the code the file doesn't upload to the server and I have gone the above links and tried but nothing works. Please help.

If you're hosting with us send that into support@hostmysite.com and let them know what your account is. While code support is technically not their province a simple upload script should be easy - may just be a matter of file permissions on the server, pathing, etc.

Your $uploaddir variable needs to be set to the actual path to the directory on the server. On our shared Linux plans, the absolute path to your site's document root is:



Replace <ftpusername> with the primary FTP username for your account.
