PHP Code://path to folder
$folder= 'text';
//path name of file for storage
$uploadfile = "$folder/" . basename( $_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );
//if the file is moved successfully
if ( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'] , $uploadfile ) ) {
success("The file was successfully uploaded.");
}
thats php code right? what I need is how do I send that $folder variable FROM flash to the php code when I do the upload comand?
You can't. You need to do it over php. Flash will put your file where the movie is located.
you could always append the folder name to the end of the upload method like so:
FileReference.upload("myscript.php?folder=/folder1/folder2/");
then in PHP, use the $_GET['folder'] to retrieve that folder information.
I probably didn't explain myself well, as I just did "upload.php?file=whatever" and it worked fine. But I was hoping I could send a variable actually from WITHIN flash with the upload method. That seems to me a bit of a miss from adobe, as what if I need to send variables with the upload (and I don't want to use ?file=).....thats what I love about loadVars.Quote:

You cannot send anything using LoadVars to the php file.
