File Upload Variables

May 11th, 2008

I am working on a 2 page form. I need to have a file upload on the first page. I need to pass the file upload values to the insert page. I am not sure what approach to take. I have tried sessions but had no luck.

Here is a simplified version of my code.

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000">
<input name="userfile" type="file" id="userfile"> 
<input name="upload" type="submit" class="box" id="upload" value=" Upload "></td>
</form>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000">
<input name="userfile" type="file" id="userfile"> 
<input name="upload" type="submit" class="box" id="upload" value=" Upload "></td>
</form>

<input type="text" name="first" id="first" />
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
</form>
<form action="insert.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="first" id="first" />
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
</form>

$fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];
$filePath = $uploadDir . $fileName;
$result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);
