Did you try the PHP manual (PHP.net)?

http://us4.php.net/features.file-upload

for the html side MAX_FILE_SIZE, if I have more than 1 file to uplad can i put different sizes for each. Will this give me an error or use the same file size for all of the files.

[MstrBob]

MAX_FILE_SIZE is more important to the browser. If you have multiple upload inputs, than I'd say that your best bet is to have MAX_FILE_SIZE equal the max file size of the largest file. If you want the other uploads to have smaller max file size, tell the user the max file size for those uploads, and then check the individual files in your PHP. But only have one max file size input tag.

Changing upload_tmp_dir in php.ini allows you to change the directory where files go when uploaded.

Is there a way to change it in a program, so if i have 5 different upload utilites each can have their own file upload directory?

[Paul Jr]

The upload_tmp_dir directive is just the temporary upload directory; after the file is uploaded to that temporary directory, you copy it over to your desired directory.

Can I use actual command line code?

mv -f location1/filename location2/differentfilename

and is this command correct, can I change a filename on a move.

I couldn’t say; I’ve never used PHP through the command line. Sorry.

What's PHP through the command line code?? Whoa, sounds old...
Or are you talking about the PHP command line codes???

Why not simply use the move_uploaded_file() (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php) function? You can rename a file easily enough, as well

ok so I have this code====

$uploadfiles = array("logosmall", "logomedium", "logolarge", "about");
$filenameextension = array("s_", "m_", "l_", "a_");
$files = array();
getfileinfo($files, $uploadfiles, $filenameextension);


function getfileinfo (&$files, $uploadfiles, $filenameextension)
{
for ($x = 0; $x < sizeof($uploadfiles); $x++)
{
if( !(strlen($_FILES[$uploadfiles[$x]]['name']) < 1 ))
{
$files[$x][0] = $_FILES[$uploadfiles[$x]]['name']; # name of file
$files[$x][1] = $_FILES[$uploadfiles[$x]]['type']; # file type jpg gif etc
$files[$x][2] = $_FILES[$uploadfiles[$x]]['size']; # size of file
$files[$x][3] = $_FILES[$uploadfiles[$x]]['tmp_name']; # temp name of file on server
$files[$x][4] = $_FILES[$uploadfiles[$x]]['error']; # errors
# move file from temp directory to the temp directory of this file
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$uploadfiles[$x]]['name'], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."/temp/".$filenameextension[$x].$files[$x][0]))
{
echo "yes";
}
else
{
echo "no";
}
echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."/temp/".$filenameextension[$x].$files[$x][0]."<br>";
}
}


now all of the information comes out correct the output on the page becomes /caboo/db_input/brands/brand2.php/temp/s_test.txt when i try to upload a text file called test. everything seems to look fine but no file is ever uploaded. The temp directory i created i chmod 777. does anybody see anything that might be wrong or can anybody give me a clue
