Where are "'tmp_name'" and "'name'" defined?

by PHP. See the PHP manual under POST method uploads.

What is 'name'? 'tmp_name'?

defined by PHP. See the PHP manual under POST method uploads.

Thanks for sharing the info. Yes, I didnt knew hence I asked. Would have posted it as an answer if I was so sure.

Just waiting for OP to say which of my suggestions fixed it. Then I'll move it to answer.

Ignore the two comments above. They don't know PHP.
I compared your code with a sample of mine that works, and the only real difference is in the input/file element. Mine is:
<input name="uploadfile" type="file" />
Note the immediate close of the element, rather than an empty element with separate closing.
Also your submit button should be
<input type="submit" value="Upload file" />
That is, *type* of submit, not *name* submit.

Further to my last comment, you might want to add a field
<input type="hidden" name="max_file_size" value="50000" />
BEFORE the file input field. Change 50000 to whatever you want.

Solution 1

Are you using the form and action on the same page?

If yes change that to a different page. It will solve your problem.

it's working fine after changing a little

HTML

<html>
<head> <title> </title></head>
<body> 
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="upload" action="upload.php" method="post">
<input name="file4upload" type="file"> </input> <br>
// change here at input type
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Upload File"> 
</input></br></form>
</body> 
</html>

upload.php code:

PHP

$target="upload/";
$target_path=$target.basename($_FILES['file4upload']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file4upload']['tmp_name'],$target_path))
{
echo " File ".basename($_FILES['file4upload']['name'])."has been uploaded";
}
 

else
{
echo "Unsuccessful";
}
?>
