Question

I am uploading files to server. I found a function like

$sha1 = sha1_file($filename);

at http://www.tuxradar.com/practicalphp/8/15/0

So I was wonder whether or not $filename should point to the actual file with path or just the filename?

$_FILES['upload']['name'] will do it right?

Answer 1

The path to uploaded file is $_FILES["upload"]["tmp_name"]

so if you haven’t moved the uploaded file the function call would be

$sha1 = sha1_file($_FILES["upload"]["tmp_name"]);
