I want to upload a file via FTP upload in a form.
<html>
<body>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload_file.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here is the PHP file:
<?php
$ftp_server = "xxx";
$ftp_username = "xxx";
$ftp_password = "xxx";
// setup of connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("could not connect to $ftp_server");
// login
if (@ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_username, $ftp_password))
{
echo "conectd as $ftp_username@$ftp_servern";
}
else
{
echo "could not connect as $ftp_usernamen";
}
$file = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$remote_file_path = "/home/www/lifestyle69/import/".$file;
ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file_path, $file, FTP_ASCII);
ftp_close($conn_id);
echo "nnconnection closed";
?>
The FTP connection connects successfully but the file is nowhere.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

Answer
Because you have <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" />:
$file = $_FILES["file"]["name"]; // wrong $file = $_FILES["uploadedfile"]["name"]; // right
Because you need the filename of the temporary copy stored by PHP, which exists on the server:
ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file_path, $file, FTP_ASCII); // wrong
ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file_path, $_FILES["uploadedfile"]["tmp_name"],
FTP_ASCII); // right
Refer to the PHP documentation for more information about $_FILES.
