uploading files

[hubbni]

What I am wanting to do it have a button that says upload, and then be able to select a file on your computer and upload it to a server. Now I have never done php before, so know nothing, I will need to be walked through it. I have seen some other posts, but I could not figure out how to specify where the file will be saved, ect. I am just new, please help!

Is it really that hard to do this?

It's not hard if you know what your doing. If you have absolutely no idea, it might be hard.

Check out this easy tutorial

Well, at least its easy to me.

Also, since you do not have any experience with PHP, im assuming that you probably do not know if your host has PHP.

Copy and paste this

<?php

phpinfo();

?>


and save it as phpinfo.php

upload it to your server and access it
http://www.yourhost.com/phpinfo.php

If something with a long list of items returns, your host has php and can support a file upload system, if not, you'll need to find out what your host supports so you can use a file upload system.

Hope this helps
