I have a site and i want users to have the option to upload files to my server. You know, like a text field, a Browse button and a Submit button. Now I know this must be done in the server side, but HOW exactly do i do this ??

Try something like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>Upload a File</title>
</head>
<body>



<?PHP

$uploaddir = "uploads"; # must be chmoded to 777

if ($_POST['submit'])
{
$name = $_FILES['File']['name'];
$tmpname = $_FILES['File']['tmp_name'];
$size = $_FILES['File']['size'];

if (copy ($tmpname, "$uploaddir/$name"))
{
print ("File Name: $name<br/><br/>\n");
print ("File Size: $size<br/><br/>\n");
print ("Your file was successfully uploaded!<br/><br/>\n");
}
else
{
print ("Your file could not be uploaded.");
}
unlink ($tmpname);
}

?>

Upload a file to the server

<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
File: <input type="file" name="File" size="20"><br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File"></form>

</body>
</html>

In order for that code to work, make sure you name the file upload.php ;)

Yes, and you'll also have to be running PHP 4.1.0 (due to the autoglobal $_FILES), so you might as well write it like this. (named upload.php, again... ;))

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Upload a File</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>

<?PHP

$uploaddir = "uploads/"; # must be chmoded to 777

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$name = $_FILES['File']['name'];
$tmpname = $_FILES['File']['tmp_name'];
$size = $_FILES['File']['size'];

if (move_uploaded_file($tmpname, $uploaddir . $name)) {
print ("<p>File Name: $name</p>\n");
print ("<p>File Size: $size</p>\n");
print ("<p>Your file was successfully uploaded!</p>\n");
}
else {
print ("<p>Your file could not be uploaded.</p>");
}
}

?>

<p>Upload a file to the server</p>

<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p>File: <input type="file" name="File" size="20"><br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File"></p></form>

</body>
</html>

This can be re-written to work in eariler versions, if necessary...

But can you make a code that allow only *.jpg files,
and files that are less than 9000kb?

Code for Image.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

<html>
<head>
<title>Upload a File</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>

<?PHP

$uploaddir = "uploads/"; # must be chmoded to 777

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$name = $_FILES['File']['name'];
$tmpname = $_FILES['File']['tmp_name'];
$size = $_FILES['File']['size'];

// If the user uploads not a valid image, then display an error msg.
$imgSize = @getImageSize($tmpname);
if (empty($imgSize)) {
print ("<p>Please upload a valid image.</p>\n");
} else {
/*** Get the mime type of the image and check, manager entered the valid image or not. ***/
$imageType = explode("/",$imgSize['mime']);
$imageType = trim(strtolower($imageType[1]));
$validImageTypes = array("jpg", "jpeg", "png", "gif"); // you can also use the same code for checking other type of files like, PDF.
if (!in_array($imageType, $validImageTypes)) {
print("<p>Please upload a valid image for cover.</p>\n");
} else {
if (move_uploaded_file($tmpname, $uploaddir . $name)) {
print ("<p>File Name: $name</p>\n");
print ("<p>File Size: $size</p>\n");
print ("<p>Your file was successfully uploaded!</p>\n");
} else {
print ("<p>Your file could not be uploaded.</p>");
}
}
}
}

?>

9 gig ? you will have to change options in your PHP.INI to allow for files that big.
