PHP Upload Form - PLEASE HELP - It doesn't work!?

So I tried to code a PHP upload form to upload some images into a folder on my site, but for SOME flippin' reason, it doesn't work!

Please, somebody...tell me what I'm doing wrong!

<?php
$path = "/home/bgamer/public_html/media";
$url = "http://www.boldgamers.com/media";

if (!$_POST['file']) {
echo '<form method="post" action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"><input type="file" name="file"> <input type="submit" value="Upload!"></form>';
}

if ($_POST['file']) {
$copy = copy ($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $path."/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]);

if ($copy == TRUE) {
echo "<a href='".$url."/".$_POST["file"]."'>View your file!</a>";
} else {
echo "Nope didnt go through; go back and try again!";
}
}
?>

Code (markup):

Note: That IS upload.php also

 

use the move_uploaded_file function

here's the code I normally use for uploading

<?php
$name = $_FILES['the_file']['name'];
if (!$name) die('Sorry, an error has occured please try again');
$name = preg_replace("/\s/","_",$name);//make sure there are no spaces
$size = $_FILES['the_file']['size'];
$tmp_name = $_FILES['the_file']['tmp_name'];
if (move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "files/$name"))
{
	echo "Upload Successful";
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, an error has occured please try again";

}



?>

Code (markup):

 

ps you can use the size to check for filesize - but as it stands it does nothing in the above code

 

is your upload folder CHMOD'ed properly?

Permissions set?

 

Well with my code no because for some reason the coding I'm using now causes an internal server error when I try it out with the directory CHMOD'ed.. :|

I'm going be trying this guy's coding later tonight when I get off of work.
Thanks!!! ^_^

 

Ok so I tried this code but it has no upload field...so it says Sorry, an error has occured please try again. :|

Also, is there a way it can make a link to the image you just uploaded? Also, could it add numbers to the file name that it saves into the directory? Like it changes MarioBrosPic.jpeg to MariosBrosPic0101010101010101289273.jpeg?

Thanks. ^_^

 

Success! I got it. Thanks all! ^_^
