POST Method

• 1). Create a file upload form on your Web page. The action attribute is the path and file name of the PHP file that will be handling the file upload. The MAX_FILE_SIZE input value is the maximum size in bytes you will allow for the uploaded text file.
  
  <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="your.php" method="POST">
  <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="64000" />
  Upload file: <input name="fileupload" type="file" />
  <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
  </form>
  
  
• 2). Edit your PHP file. Set the path and file name where the uploaded text file will be saved on the server. The $_FILES array contains information about the uploaded file, referenced using the file input name attribute assigned in the Web page form.
  
  $uploaddir = '/srv/www/uploads/';
  $filename = basename($_FILES['fileupload']['name']);
  $uploadfile = $uploaddir . $filename;
  
  
• 3). Move the uploaded file from the temporary location where the server stored it to the destination you set for the upload.
  
  if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileupload']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
  echo $filename . " uploaded. Thank you!\n";
  }
  else {
  echo "Error uploading " . $filename . ": " . $_FILES['userfile']['error'] . "\n";
  
  

PUT Method

• 1). Edit your PHP file. Set the path and file name where the uploaded text file will be saved on the server. The $_SERVER array contains information about the request, including the destination path and file name requested by the client ('REQUEST_URI').
  
  $uploaddir = '/srv/www/uploads/';
  $filename = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
  $uploadfile = $uploaddir . $filename;
  
  
• 2). Open the input stream to the file data that's being uploaded.
  
  $incoming = fopen("php://input", "r");
  
  
• 3). Open a pointer to the destination file where you want to save the uploaded file.
  
  $saveto = fopen($uploadfile, "w");
  
  
• 4). Read the data from the incoming stream and write it to the destination file.
  
  while ($indata = fread($incoming, 1024)) {
  fwrite($saveto, $indata);
  
  
• 5). Close the input and file streams.
  
  fclose($saveto);
  fclose($incoming);
