How to specify a directory

Thank you for creating this script. My question is, how can you specify a directory for the files to be uploaded to?

Thank you,

Audrey

Which article are you referring to?
Sometimes it helps to discuss in the article's forum... perhaps someone has already answered your question

Creating a Multi-File Upload Script in PHP and specify directory

I apologize...I thought I was posting within the discussion of the article:

Creating a Multi-File Upload Script in PHP

I may not have searched correctly, but I did not see this issue, namely, how to specify a directory for the files to be uploaded to. Currently, the files are uploaded wherever the processfile.php file is stored.

Thank you,

Audrey

found solution to specify directory in file upload

Nevermind,

I had been too wimpy to experiment.
Red text is what I was looking for in the script:

Quote:

$uploadNeed = $_POST['uploadNeed'];
// start for loop
for($x=0;$x<$uploadNeed;$x++){
$file_name = $_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['name'];
// strip file_name of slashes
$file_name = stripslashes($file_name);
$file_name = str_replace("'","",$file_name);
$copy = copy($_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['tmp_name'],'images/'.$file_name);
// check if successfully copied
if($copy){
echo "$file_name | uploaded sucessfully!<br>";
}else{
echo "$file_name | could not be uploaded!<br>";
}
} // end of loop
