Hi everyone,
I'm working on an assignment and am looking for some advice as to where to start. What I'm trying to do:
"Create a form and a script to upload files into a directory. If that directory does not exist, create it with 0777 permissions. Use ‘getcwd’ function to ensure that the script can be ported from machine to machine (Use varying file sizes for use in part 2)."
then
"Create a script to loop through the directory where you are uploading files to. List the directory contents in order by file size. (Tip: create an array of all the file names and file sizes, then use one of the array sort functions to sort them by file size.) Loop through the final, sorted array and print out the file name and file size to a text file outside the uploaded file directory."
I'm not looking for someone to do my work, I'm just totally lost and don't know where to even look. Here's the small amount of code I have so far. :/ Help?
