Two things you gotta do:
Firstly, you need a form that contains an INPUT TYPE=FILE. This form needs to be of enctype=multipart/form-data.
Secondly, you need a script which actually handles the uploaded file. The file will be uploaded to your server's temporary directory, so you'll need to move it or copy it from there (PHP has a built-in function for this although I don't remember what it's called coz I just copy it). You'll need to learn to use $HTTP_POST_FILES (or $_FILES, i think it's called, on more recent PHP versions) to handle file uploads.
I usually try to avoid giving direct code samples to people, as I feel it hinders the learning process
but this is a small snippet I used for a client's website:
Code:
$size = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size'];
if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'] != '' && $size > 0) {
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "/home/prestige/public_html/upload/incoming.jpg") or die("Couldn't copy the file!");
} else {
die ("There was an error uploading your file. Please try again. If this error persists, contact the system administrator.");
}
'userfile' was the name of the INPUT TYPE=FILE on the form. Most of this is easy to figure out, actually.
Hope this gets you started in the right direction
