Is there a way to upload a file to server using php and the filename in a parameter (instead using a submit form), something like this:
myserver/upload.php?file=c:\example.txt
Im using a local server, so i dont have problems with filesize limit or upload function, and i have a code to upload file using a form
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<body>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" name="fileForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
File to upload:
<table>
<tr><td><input name="upfile" type="file"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="submit" name="submitBtn" value="Upload"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submitBtn'])){
// Define the upload location
$target_path = "c:\\";
// Create the file name with path
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['upfile']['name']);
// Try to move the file from the temporay directory to the defined.
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['upfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
}
?>
</body>
Thanks for the help
