This question already has an answer here:
I need a bit of PHP in a website I am building for a school project. I need it to upload .swf files. But when I press the "upload" button, it opens up the php file in the browser rather than running it, or displaying an error if there is one.
This is my HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>New Smallcut</title>
</head>
<body>
<font face="verdana" size="2">
<div style="text-align:center">
This is a webpage<br>
But no matter what, I am King
<p><a href=http://www.kiaye.org/>KIAYEorg</a></p>
<br>
<img src=KingSn0w.png width="100" height="100" alt=“King Sn0wCh1ld’s logo”>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select game to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>
</div>
</font>
It is supposed to put a bit of text above an image and the form, on an otherwise plain webpage.
Next is the PHP, which I got from W3Schools.
<?php
$target_dir = "uploads";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
if($check !== false) {
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
$uploadOk = 1;
} else {
echo "File is not an image.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
}
// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Allow certain file formats
if($imageFileType != "swf") {
echo "Sorry, only .swf files are allowed.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
?>
I have absolutely no clue why it's not working, I am just getting back into HTML after 5 years of not using it (I was 9 when I last used it), and I really need this bit of PHP (which I do not understand, for the record), to work. I will later need a bit more PHP to work for a site-wide search, and I assume, the search results and stuff, and it would be comforting if I could get this to work.
Thanks in advance!
