I am unable to upload file to my local host folder in php

I have the follwing code

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
 Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />
 <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
 </form>  

<?php 
 $target = "upload/"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
 $ok=1; 
 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
 {
 echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
 } 
 else {
 echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
 }
 ?> 

my page is in http://local.host/nausal/upload.php

If the form is a part of upload.php too, you need to encapsulate the PHP-code and first check if $_FILES is not empty, otherwise you will always get a Notice if you only want to display the form.

<?php
  if(!empty($_FILES))
  {
        //your PHP-code here
  }
?>
<!-- your form here -->

  • Khan sb Place this code in file called upload.php
  • create a folder called upload where you created upload.php

  • change echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; to echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']). " has been uploaded";

This will upload file successfully. First time when upload.php is uploaded there is no file selected so you will see some errors. But after you select a file and click upload you will not see any error. To avoid this error do as suggested by Dr. Molle
