Thanks

when I upload the file and press submit I get the following:

Upload: PS CS2 for WEB.doc
Type: application/msword
Size: 150 Kb
Stored in: /tmp/php1t5FBo

This is fine but how do create a user friendly front end to download the file again

hi kevin, sorry for the delay,

use this php instead

<?php
if (($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/msword") && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],"upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>

this code will upload only if the file is a word file. Please post if you have any doubts
