Example 4-4. File Upload Form

<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="_URL_" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000">
Send this file: <INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File">
</FORM>


The _URL_ should point to a php html file. The MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden field must precede the file input field and its value is the maximum filesize accepted. The value is in bytes. In this destination file, the following variables will be defined upon a successful upload:



$userfile - The temporary filename in which the uploaded file was stored on the server machine.

$userfile_name - The original name of the file on the sender's system.

$userfile_size - The size of the uploaded file in bytes.

$userfile_type - The mime type of the file if the browser provided this information. An example would be "image/gif".

Note that the "$userfile" part of the above variables is whatever the name of the INPUT field of TYPE=file is in the upload form. In the above upload form example, we chose to call it "userfile".

а для имени..
$path= "/home/mydir/myfile.txt";
$file= basename($path); //return: myfile.txt
