How to save a form's 'file' input to disk?

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I have never done anything of this sort and I can't seam to find a decent tutorial to teach me how to do this...

I have an html form as follow:

 class = "form-course-setup" id="form-course-add" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
 type="file" name="syllabus" size="40"> 

$(document).ready(function(){
        $('#form-course-add').submit(function(event){
        event.preventDefault();
        $.get('../php/lecturer_addcourse.php',$(this).serialize(),
        function(data){
            if(data == true)
            {
               ...  
            }
});

in lecturer_addcourse.php

I would want to save the syllabus attachment to remote server (to be downloaded later on)...

How can I do that?

PS: If this not stack overflow type of questions please let me know and I would gladly delete this post :)
