Issue
I'm new to HTML/PHP and I'm trying to create a simple php file upload page. I have this as my HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
I have this as my php:
<?php
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
if($check !== false) {
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
$uploadOk = 1;
} else {
echo "File is not an image.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
}
?>
I've uploaded both of these to the correct folder in my host (000webhost), yet when I check in my /uploads folder nothing is there. I've granted all my files read write and execute permissions to try and debug it - I'll learn about security later.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Solution
You must add this snippet of code:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file);
after that:
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
