Answer 1

name refers to the filename on the client-side. To get the filename (including the full path) on the server-side, you need to use tmp_name:

$handle = fopen($_FILES["UploadFileName"]["tmp_name"], 'r');

Answer 2

I use like this...

<?php
$NameOriginal = $_FILES["UploadFileName"]['name'];
$Typo_Image = $_FILES["UploadFileName"]['type'];
$name_Temp = $_FILES["UploadFileName"]['tmp_name']; 
?>

Answer 3

$target='uploads/'.basename($_FILES['UploadFileName']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['UploadFileName']['tmp_name'],$target)) {

     //Insert into your db

     $fp = fopen($target, "r");
}

Answer 4

Use the following code,

$handle = fopen($_FILES["UploadFileName"]["tmp_name"], 'r');

Answer 5

I wrote like this:

$filePath = realpath($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"]);

This gave me the full path to the uploaded file in PHP. If you find 0 bytes problem in file download, just modify this content-lenght line like this

header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filePath));

Where $filePath should be absolute path to file not just file handle.
