$file problem...

ive got a $file and its suppose to contain the file that i want. It works fine on my PC as im using phptriad. But when i tried it on a server, it didnt work. Do i need to specify what $file is? How do i do that?
Thanx

um, what is $file?

[maybe you could post a little snippet of your code]

if($File)

{

// create a table with invisible border
print "<table width=\"450\" border=\"0\">";

print "<tr>";

// prints out the name of the uploaded file
print "<td width=\"410\">File Name: <strong> $File_name </strong> <p>\n </td>";

print "</tr>";

print "<tr>";

// prints the size of the file in bytes
print "<td> <br>File size: <strong> $File_size bytes </strong> <p>\n </td>";

print "</tr>";

print "</table>";

print "<br>";


$strSQL = "INSERT INTO file (file_id, file_name, file_size, upload_date) VALUES ('', '$File_name', '$File_size', NOW())";

$result = mysql_query($strSQL);


// copies the file information and stores it to the database
if (copy($File, $result))
{
print " File successfully uploaded! <p> \n";
}
else
{
print " Unable to upload file <p> \n";
}

// deletes the file if upload unsuccessful
unlink ($File);

}

Sounds like Register Globals is turned off on the server.

You could try referring to PHP Builder for an implicit solution.
