Use file_put_contents as Upload Function?

file, file-upload, php

Solution

You can. But why not use `move_uploaded_file()` instead? This is generally considered to be safer than trying to access the path in `$_FILES`, since `move_uploaded_file()` does check if the file really is a file and if it was actually uploaded by the user.

If you can't use the `move_uploaded_file()`, remember to call `is_uploaded_file()` before you do the `file_put_contents()` call. Just for your own safety.
