Hey folks, I started the day with a upload class that someone had given me, but about 2 hours ago I recalled that GL has a built in upload class. I looked in usersettings.php for an example of how to use it, and here is what I came up with :

                $path = "/home/bodensatz/vdirs/dl/sb";
                $mode = 3;

                $ul     = new upload();
                $ul->setAllowedMimeTypes(array('text/xml','text/txt'));
                if (!$ul->setPath($path)) {
                        print 'File Upload Errors:<BR>' . $ul->printErrors();
                        break;
                }
                if (!isset($upload_filename)) {
                        $display        .= "No filename defined in form<br>";
                        break;
                }
                if ($upload_filename == "" {
                        $display        .= "No filename entered<br>";
                        break;
                }
                $ul->setFileNames($upload_filename);
                $ul->setPerms('0644');
                if (!($ul->uploadFiles()))
                {
                        $display        .= "Error during upload<br>";
                        break;
                }
                if ($ul->areErrors()) {
                        $display        .= "ERRORS<BR>";
                        $ul->printErrors();
                        break;
                }
                $success        = TRUE;

Well, it reports success but the file is not in my designated upload path, and so when I then try to open it the program bombs. I verified that I can upload user photos in GL so the GL upload class is working. I also changed the upload path to the same path where the usersettings.php uploads the user photos, and no luck. I'm at my wits end here. What am I doing wrong? thanks, -Alan

Where are you setting $upload_filename? --Tony---The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

It was being set in the form and carried through - I did verify it with debuggin statements. I figured out that I was not including the enctype in the form declaration! Doh! Only wasted about 4 hours on that one ... (yes, I do usually spend at least an hour or sometimes more before bothering y'all for help ;-))
