}else{
echo " file was not uploaded ! ";
}
}
}
?>


always i get the msg : " please select a file !"

what is wrong with my script ???

[actionAction]

It's because of this statement:


$fileup=$_POST['fileup'];//not a $_POST variable
if($fileup == ""){//this will always be true, because it is an uninitialized variable

Your code needs to reference the $_FILES superglobal array, not $_POST, like this:

if(isset($_FILES['fileup'])){//this checks if a file was uploaded
Please refer to this (http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php) for more information.
