PHP example

The example below demonstrates how using a PHP script you can process files submitted by HTTP File Upload Applet. The source code for this example may be found in the examples/php/receiver.php file included with the HTTP File Upload Applet distribution.

Example

// define upload directory, notice that permissions to write are needed for upload directory

$uploaddir = '/var/uploads/';

// get upload filename

$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['file']['name']);

// add Connection: close header

header("Connection: close");

// move uploaded file from temporary location to upload directory

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {

//if succeeded, print out the "success" code to notify applet the file was uploaded

echo "RESP.100";

} else {

//if failed for some reason, print out the "failed" code to notify applet the file wasn't uploaded

echo "RESP.200";

}

1.	Change $uploaddir variable in receiver.php script to point to directory path where file should be uploaded. Make sure to include a / at the end.

2.	Upload receiver.php to your web server in a directory that is accessible.

3.	Set url parameter in HTML applet code to point to url of this script e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/receiver.php
