Hello,
I have a very simple script and am not interested in security. That being said, I cannot get it to work and I was wondering if you good people could help me find out why. I am an amateur as I am sure you all can tell so please be gentle
Form.php
[syntax="html"]
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
$target_path = "uploads/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
I copied this verbatim from one of the tutorials so I am not trying to claim this as my own but I cannot get it to work. The only message I get after trying to upload is the "There was an error..." message. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The folder I am trying to upload to is a public folder. It has no protection atthe moment. I did this to simplify the process. I will try the print_r($_FILES) today. Thank you for the advice!
