Hey guys

 

Simple question. I have an image upload form which submits to a directory. All works fine...but I want the script to allow the end user to select which directory they want it submitting to.

 

At the moment it submits to a standard uploads/ folder. So I've added in a dropdown menu with the directory selections.

 

Question: How do I feed this information into the uploader.php script? I've had a go at replacing:

 

$target_path = "uploads/"; for this $target_path = $list +[/];

 

Any help would be much appreciated and as you can probably guess I'm a beginner at this!

 

Cheers!

 

Upload.php

 

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
<label>list
<select name="list" id="list">
 <option value="option1">option1</option>
 <option value="option2">option2</option>
</select>
</label><br />
Choose a file to upload: 
<input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /> <input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

 

Uploader.php

 

 

<?php
$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). 
" has been uploaded. <a href=\"members.php\">Go Back</a>";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>

Hi Josh,

 

change:

$target_path = "uploads/";

 

to

 

$target_path = $_POST['list'] .'/';

 

so that the form field called 'list' is used for the location.

 

I would personally avoid using names like list as it is a function name as well.
