Greetings,

so, first visit, first post so --) here goes:
I am trying to slot an upload routine into an existing database management script so I can include the upload field on the main page (as opposed to a seperated upload page - and script).

So, I am not a coder - just a hacker. BUT, I am a monk - 14 yrs now :))
And, here is my current doodle....
$formdata is the std field defn. for the script I am tweaking
$upload_dir is defined elsewhere
"file" is the upload field name

######____ AK upload from here 

$filename = $formdata{"file"};
$filename =~ s/(\s+|\n)?,(\s+|\n)?/,/g;
$upload_filehandle = upload($formdata{"file"});
&upload_file;
    sub upload_file {
        $filepath=$filename;
        if ($filepath =~ /([^\/\\]+)$/) {$filename="$1";}
            else    {$filename="$filepath";}
               $filename =~ s/\s+//g; 
open UPLOADFILE, ">$upload_dir/$filename";
while ( <$upload_filehandle> )
{print UPLOADFILE;}
close UPLOADFILE;
}
if ($to_upload == 1) {$formdata{'file'} = $filename}; #ensures just fi
+lename written to database

######____ AK upload TO here

This writes filename to the database - great!
writes filename to $upload_dir - BUT - a zero file; ie. it doesn't move the bits :(

I am hoping for just a simple module but am open to extended suggestions.

with thanks and blessing

Edit by tye, remove BR tags, add "/" to closing CODE tag
