How can this be used in a PHP form?

There are no implementation examples for use in a form. For example, how do I make a VAR out of the downloaded filenames to insert into a database?

Hi peterbe,

Please refer to http://phpfileuploader.com/Deployment.html. It shows you how to deploy and use the php uploader in your form.

Step 3 shows you how to get the upload file name, you can write your database code there to save the name into database.

Regards,

Ken

Thanks, Ken. The uploader is not creating the element, $_POST["myuploader"].

It is, however, creating these elements in the $_POST array:

$_POST["UploadLib_Uploader_js"]

and

$_POST["AjaxUploaderFiles "]

Neither of those vars contain a filename. Nor do the other uploader vars in the example. (When echoed, they are empty).

The selected file is moved and saved OK but I am not able to figure out how to write the filename to a var for databasing.

Ooooops. My error. Please disregard all of the above. I initialized "myuploader" as "myUploader". After fixing that discrepancy, everything works fine. Many thanks for your response.
