I installed xampp version 5.6.24 on my Windows 10 box today. I run the xampp control panel as admin and click on the red x's.
I just want to use the php code to upload photos. I copy and paste the examples given on the w3schools website at http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp
The html file is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Then the upload.php is as follows:
<?php
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
if($check !== false) {
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
$uploadOk = 1;
} else {
echo "File is not an image.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
}
// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check file size
if ($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["size"] > 500000) {
echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Allow certain file formats
if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg"
&& $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
} else {
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
}
?>
These two files are saved in C:\xampp\htdocs. I have created a folder in the same place called 'uploads'. When I click the upload button I get the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$check' (T_VARIABLE) in C:\xampp\htdocs\upload.php on line 8
I use sublime text 3 and have also tried with note pad making sure I save files with UTF-8 encoding.
I've looked in the apache error logs and keep getting the following:
[Fri Sep 02 18:30:30.650622 2016] [ssl:warn] : www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

It's so annoying. It used to just work but now it just wont let me do what I want. It works with just basic examples from the w3schools PHP tutorial like:
<?php
$txt1 = "Learn PHP";
$txt2 = "W3Schools.com";
$x = 5;
$y = 4;
echo "<h2>$txt1</h2>";
echo "Study PHP at $txt2<br>";
echo $x + $y;
?>
