Subject: [PHP] File uploads in PHP
>
> My PHP script needs to receive some files. I've seen sites which
> accept them; they have a Browse button which lets the user select a
> file to send. That's what I want to do.
>
> I have a few questions about this. First of all, this is with
> php4.06. Secondly, the files are all going to be images, and not very
> large: no more than 50k.
>
> What's the best way to do this? I notice that PHP can store these
> files on disk, but I'm going to be storing them in a DB. I would
> rather receive them directly into a PHP variable. Is this possible?
> Or should I take them in a file, and then read them back in to a
> variable?
>
> Also, if they need to go into a file, which directory is safest for
> this? /tmp contains some important files. And finally, how do I
> limit the maximum file size that PHP will accept?
>
> Thanks
