Print Page - PHP: Upload Files to the server

With PHP, it is simple to upload any file to your server.

uploader.php

Code:

<?php 
$target_path = "uploads/"; 

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) { 
    echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; 
} else{ 
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!"; 
}?>

The form used to apply this uploading:

Code:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST"> 
   <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000" /> 
   Upload File: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /> <br /> 
   <input type="submit" value="Upload File" /> 
   </form>

I suggest implementing a password (php) protection on this page to ensure noone other than the administrator can upload files. Missuse of uploading can surpass a server's space and cause fines or bans of site owners. So be careful
