Hi, I get this error message on my server everytime I try to upload a file to my database.
Notice: Undefined index: userfile in C:\wamp\www\CourseWork\upload2.php on line 5

Notice: Undefined index: userfile in C:\wamp\www\CourseWork\upload2.php on line 6

Notice: Undefined index: userfile in C:\wamp\www\CourseWork\upload2.php on line 7

Notice: Undefined index: userfile in C:\wamp\www\CourseWork\upload2.php on line 8
Error uploading file.

The Code is
CODE

<?php
$uploadDir = 'C:/webroot/upload/';
if (isset($_POST['upload']))
{
$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];
$filePath = $uploadDir . $fileName;
$result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);
if (!$result) {
echo "Error uploading file";
exit;
}
include 'config.php';
include 'opendb.php';
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$fileName = addslashes($fileName);
$filePath = addslashes($filePath);
}
$query = "INSERT INTO upload2 (name, size, type, path ) ".
"VALUES ('$fileName', '$fileSize', '$fileType', '$filePath')";

mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed : ' . mysql_error());
}
?>
<?php
include 'closedb.php';
echo "<br>Files uploaded<br>";
?>

Can anyone please tell me what the unidentified index is all about on

$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];


Thank you.

PHP is case sensitive. The warning you get means that your variable is not defined. Look up your HTML <form> again.
['Userfile'] and ['userfile'] may look the same, but are completely different.

Thank you very much for the reply. But this is the entire block of codes.

CREATE TABLE upload2 (
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
type VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
size INT NOT NULL,
path VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(id)
);


<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload2.php">
<table width="350" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="box">
<tr>
<td width="246">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000">
<input name="userfile" type="file" id="userfile">
</td>
<td width="80"><input name="upload" type="submit" class="box" id="upload" value=" Upload "></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>



<?php
$uploadDir = 'http://locallhost/CourseWork/upload.htm';

if(isset($_POST['upload']))
{
$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];

$filePath = $uploadDir . $fileName;

$result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);
if (!$result) {
echo "Error uploading file";
exit;
}

include 'config.php';
include 'opendb.php';

if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$fileName = addslashes($fileName);
$filePath = addslashes($filePath);
}

$query = "INSERT INTO upload2 (name, size, type, path ) ".
"VALUES ('$fileName', '$fileSize', '$fileType', '$filePath')";

mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed : ' . mysql_error());

include 'closedb.php';

echo "<br>Files uploaded<br>";

}
?>

I will be glad if you can spot out the error in the codes.

Thank you.

Do this and see if the 'userfile' index exists because apparently it doesn't:
CODE

<?php
$uploadDir = 'C:/webroot/upload/';
if (isset($_POST['upload']))
{
  print '<pre>';
  print_r($_FILES);
  print '</pre>';
  die();
}

I tested this and it works fine ... BUT your uploaddir had a filename in it .. that should just be a path not a filename ...

in this case i left it blank and it uploads to the same dir as the upload script ...

Thank you very much for your reply, but I still get the same error message

Notice: Undefined index: userfile in C:\wamp\www\CourseWork\upload2.php on line 9

Notice: Undefined index: userfile in C:\wamp\www\CourseWork\upload2.php on line 10

Notice: Undefined index: userfile in C:\wamp\www\CourseWork\upload2.php on line 11

Notice: Undefined index: userfile in C:\wamp\www\CourseWork\upload2.php on line 12
Error uploading file

These are the lines

$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];

I seperated the php code from the html and changed the FORM ACTION...(I dont want to include PHP on the HTML document).

Well, I'm new to the world of PHP so I'm struggling with it lol.

One other Question, if I have to put the PHP on the HTML document, where on the html page will it be?

Thank you.

Hi guys, I am unable to resolve the "Undefined Index" problem on my PHP code. Below are the blocks of codes for both the HTML as well as the PHP. Thank you.

this is the HTML CODE:

CODE

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<FORM ENCTYPE='multipart/form-data' action='uploadck.php' METHOD='POST'>
Upload this file: <INPUT NAME='file_up' TYPE="file">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File"></FORM>
</body>
</html>


This is the PHP code;
<?php

$name = $_FILES['file_up']['name'];
$size= $_FILES['file_up']['size'];
$type =$_FILES['file_up']['type'];
$tmp_name = $_FILES['file_up']['tmp_name'];
$error = $_FILES['file_up']['error'];

$file_upload='true';
$file_up_size=$_FILES['file_up'][$size];
echo $_FILES['file_up'][$name];
if ($_FILES['file_up'][$size]>250000){$error=$error."Your uploaded file size is more than 250KB so please reduce the file size and then upload. Visit the

help page to know how to reduce the file size.<BR>";
$file_upload='false';}
if (!($_FILES['file_up'][$type] =="image/jpeg" OR $_FILES['file_up'][$type] =="image/gif")){$error=$error."Your uploaded file must be of JPG or GIF. Other

file types are not allowed<BR>";
$file_upload='false';}

$file_name=$_FILES['file_up'][$name];
$add='uploaded/$file_name'; // the path with the file name where the file will be stored, upload is the directory name.
if($file_upload=='true'){

if(move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['file_up'][$tmp_name], $add)){
// do your coding here to give a thanks message or any other thing.
}else{echo "Failed to upload file Contact Site admin to fix the problem";}

}else{echo $error;}
?>


I will be most happy if anyone can help to resolve the Undefined Index it is given me on

Just create a new page with that in it, it will either give you a 1/0 (or maybe true/false).

hmmm....Same error message.

this is what I did.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$uploadDir = 'uploaded/';
echo ini_get("file_uploads");

if(!isset($_POST['upload'])) { exit; }
$result = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['name'], $uploadDir);
if (!$result) {
echo "Error uploading file";
exit;
}

include 'config.php';
include 'opendb.php';

if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$name = addslashes($name);
$path = addslashes($path);
}

$query = "INSERT INTO upload2 (name, size, type, path ) ".
"VALUES ('$name', '$size', '$type', '$path')";

mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed : ' . mysql_error());

include 'closedb.php';

echo "<br>Files uploaded<br>";
$qry = "SELECT * FROM upload2";
$res = mysql_query($qry);
while ($obj = mysql_fetch_object($res)) {
echo "<img src='$obj->path' height='50' alt='uploadedimage'/><br/>$obj->name(" . round($obj->size/1048576,2) . "MB)<br/>";

Make a new file, call it test.php or something..

Make the contents exactly this:
CODE
<?php
echo ini_get("file_uploads");
?>


Then visit the page, and post what is on it.
