You can check yourself with a phpinfo() script:

<?PHP
phpinfo ();
?>No need to use anything else, if that isn't the problem, so let me know what version of PHP you have (or better yet, post a link to the phpinfo() script.

Try switching move_uploaded_file to copy

Also, did you CHMOD the directory that you are trying to upload to?

#1 can be achived with something like this:

$name = $_FILES['File']['name'];
$tmpname = $_FILES['File']['tmp_name'];
$size = $_FILES['File']['size'];

$name = split("\.","$name");
$ext = $name[count($name)-1];
if ($ext == "gif" || $ext == "jpg" || $ext == "jpeg" || $ext == "jpe") {
#upload code goes here
}
else {
echo "Only GIF and JPEG files are allowed.";
}

For #2, you'll need something along these lines:

<?PHP

$folder = "/root/path/to/uploads/"; #set the path to the uploads directory

$handle = opendir($folder);
# Making an array containing the files in the current directory:
while ($file = readdir($handle))
{
$filename[] = $file;
}
closedir($handle);

# Sorting the files with newest files at the top
sort ($filename);

for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($filename); $i++) {
if ($filename[$i] == "." || $filename[$i] == "..") {
}
else {
echo "<a href=\"$filename[$i]\">$filename[$i]</a><br>\n";
}
}

?>

Here's the first one, with it all added together:

<?PHP

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

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

$name = split("\.","$name");
$ext = $name[count($name)-1];
if ($ext == "gif" || $ext == "jpg" || $ext == "jpeg" || $ext == "jpe") {
if (move_uploaded_file($tmpname, $uploaddir . $name)) {
echo "File Name: $name<br/><br/>\n";
echo "File Size: $size<br/><br/>\n";
echo "Your file was successfully uploaded!<br/><br/>\n";
}
else {
echo "Your file could not be uploaded.";
}
}
else {
echo "Only GIF and JPEG files are allowed.";
}
}
?>

let me explain:

i kind of want an image gallery were people can just upload files into it, so i want to make it gif and jpg only, and i dont know where to put the code u gave me.

Okay u know how on the other code u made it like link to the file? well can u do it so its shows the image instead of linking to it?

Also it links to my main site not the /uploads folder the code u gave me it comes out like this:
http://www.krylonblue.net/easiertorun/IMAGEURL.gif

but i want it like this
http://www.krylonblue.net/easiertorun/uploads/IMAGEURL.gif

else {
echo "<a href=\"$filename[$i]\">$filename[$i]</a><br>\n";
}

else {
echo "<img src=\"$filename[$i]\"><br>\n";
