uploading images

[N!ck]

Following is part of a script I'm working on to upload pictures. I'm getting an error that no file was uploaded, but this is just not the case. I double-checked that I have the attribute on my form tag (enctype="multipart/form-data"), and I also made sure that the name of the file field was correct.

Does anyone see anything that might be causing the problem?

PHP Code:

...
if ($action=="upload") {
  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]=="0" or $bbuserinfo[userid]=="") {
    show_nopermission();
    exit;
  }
  if (empty($picfile)) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_gallery_nopic")."\");");
    exit;
  }
  $filename=str_replace(" ","_",$picfile_name);
  $targetname=$gallerypath."/photos/".$bbuserinfo[userid]."/".$filename;
  $targetthumb=$gallerypath."/thumbs/".$bbuserinfo[userid]."/".$filename;
  if (file_exists($targetname) or file_exists($targetthumb)) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_gallery_filename")."\");");
    exit;
  }
...

Also note, there is no value set for the uploads tmp dir in my phpinfo...any way to use my own tmp folder?

Remember you have to copy the temp file before the page is done executing, otherwise it will be nuked. And yes, I do believe you need to set an upload destination in your php.ini.

Thanks filburt. I've done some work on it and got it *almost* working. That particular problem is fixed.
