Question

Using an example from http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php.
I am using PHP 5.3 at godaddy

I get this error using the above example “No input file specified.”

I get the error in the sequence when I hit the “upload File” button.

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

<?php
$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
   echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>

Both upload.php and upload-file.html are in the same directory.

and i have the “uploads” directory in there

Just quickly Google the message and it looks like you might be getting the message from PHP as an Apache CGI because ‘uploader.php’ doesn’t exist or is not in the same directory as the one with the HTML form – what are your files called and what are their paths on the server?

See the ‘action’ attribute of the <form> element of your HTML file.
