Topic awaiting preservation: File uploading

i have:
uprep.php:

if ($rep == "0") {
print "You must specify a file to upload";
}
else {copy($rep, "/**/****/$file_name");
unlink($rep);
}

which works fine.

Though i'm having a problem displaying the file that was uploaded, as a link on another page, which would be view.php .
I tried adding $file_name, and then $rep to the url, both don't work and view it as null.

How could i display uploaded files on a page without opening the (ftp)directory through the browser?
Thanks.

first, you should really use
move_uploaded_file() for copying the uploaded file to the directory.
Than you might have to chmod() it in order to make it accessible for anyone (ie. a webbrowser).

The file copies its self to the given directory, no problem there. It's just viewing it, is whats the problem.

uprep.php is the code for uploading file.
uprep.html is the form to upload the file.

view.php is what takes the filename that was uploaded, and displays it.

That is what i'm having a problem with, view.php, i don't know how to display the file name, it dosn't show up even with the variable: $file_name , then i tried $rep. Anything i can do so people can view the filename on view.php?

Did you try the chmod as TP suggested?

Well, i was able to fix it, by putting the uploaded filename ($file_name) in a table, then onward from there. Though i'm curious, how would chmod fix this? All i wanted was the variable $file_name to display the given file name through the browser, I.E not it projecting just whatever is in the directory. I'm not arguing, just wondering :P.
