Uploading images

How come I keep getting no files specified ? how do I figure out the path. If thats the problem. This page is on my website where my sites hosted too.

<?php
if($file_name !="") {
copy ("$file", "/usr/local/root/$file_name")
or die("Could not Copy the File");
            }
            else {die("No Files Specified"); }
            ?>
            <html><head><title>Upload Complete</title></head>
            <body><h3>File upload succeeded...</h3>
            <ul>
            <li>Sent: <?php echo "$file_name"; ?>
            <li>Size: <?php echo "$file_size"; ?>
            <li>Type: <?php echo "$file_type"; ?>
            </ul>
            <a href="<?php echo "$file_name" ?> ">
              Click Here to View File</a>
                                                       </body>
                                                       </html>

Do you have "enctype='multipart/form-data'" in your form tag? This is required to post files.

also, here is an upload function you could try using :

function upload_file()
{

//file too big
if($_FILES['userfile']['size']>$_POST['MAX_FILE_SIZE'] || !$_FILES['userfile']['size'] || $_FILES['userfile']['error']==2)
return -1;
//file name
$userfile_t=$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
//upload dir
$dir="absolute/path/to/upload/dir";

$dest=$dir . $userfile;

//file correctly uploaded
if(is_uploaded_file($userfile_t))
{
//we move it to upload dir
if(!@move_uploaded_file($userfile_t,$dest))
return -3;
//set perission
@chmod($dest, 0664);
}
else
return -3;

//all right!
return 1;
}

I think your problem is that your using $file as the filename.. ( i presume that this is what you call the input text box name on your form) and doing this is correct. you must reference the filename using $_REQUEST['file']['tmp_name'] to get the name of the file being uploaded.

$file_name is the name of the actual uploaded file

Then try...

$file_name = $_FILES['file_name']['tmp_name'];
if($file_name != "") {
copy ($file_name, "/usr/local/root/$file_name") or die("Could not Copy the File");
} else {
die("No Files Specified");
}

And do make sure that your form has the property enctype="multipart/form-data"
