Hello all,
I have a simple PHP upload script that is called from my Flash App. I am sure it makes the call because it actually uploads the file!
session_start();
$default_path = 'files/';
$target_path = ($_POST['dir']) ? $_POST['dir'] : $default_path;
if(!file_exists($target_path)) mkdir($target_path, 0777, true);
$destination = $target_path . basename( $_FILES[ 'Filedata' ][ 'name' ] );
$file_name = rand(1,9999).$_FILES[ 'Filedata' ][ 'name' ];
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES[ 'Filedata' ][ 'tmp_name' ], $destination)){
$_SESSION['path'] = 'flashuploader_online/upload/'.$destination;
}
However, I try to use the session variable "path" in another script but it gives me an empty value! Yes, I have made sure to use session_start.
Am I missing something?
Update
At least now I know what the problem is! But I am not sure how to solve it without it getting messy to pass across session variables. Any ideas?
