Help with PHP upload file code move_uploaded_file() fails.?
I have spent much of the day trying to get a simple PHP Upload program to work on my local PC. I cannot seems to figure what is wrong with the code as it keeps falling out with "here was an error uploading the file, please try again!" I am trying to create a simple file upload routine that allows the user to choose the target location. Save this code to a folder that has the following structure below it:
[localhost]
Conservation
Agendas
Minutes
================= CODE ===================
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('log_errors', 1);
ini_set('error_log', dirname(__FILE__) . '/error_log.txt');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// Save this file to a folder that has two Subfolders of Conservation/Minutes and Conservstion/Agendas
// Trying to allow saving uploaded files to either of these folders.
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<body>
<form action="formexample.php" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<th>First Name:</th>
<td><input maxlength="36" name="Fname" size="36" type="text"/</td>

You need to include enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form tag.
<form method=" " enctype="multipart/form-data">
Otherwise, the $_FILES scope is not available.
