Well first of all you have to upload the file .... After uploading the files you get the file details

here is the piece of code which may help you ..

this is my hook_form

$form['upload']['file'] = array(
'#type' => 'file',
'#title' => t('Attach Photo'),

'#prefix' => '

',
'#suffix' => '

);

and this is my hook_submit_form

$dir = variable_get('file_directory_path', 'sites/default/files') . '/photos';
$save = file_save_upload('file', array(), $dir, true);
$filename = $save->filename;

hope this helps ...

regards

I see

Thanks for the fast reply!

So your form is a custom upload form with custom upload handler. My requirement was slightly different,
I had to modify all uploads to trigger imagecache after each upload was done.

What I did was to use hook_nodeapi() and hook_userapi() to catch all the photo album uploads and user profile uploads. Here's the sample piece of code, pls feel free to comment :)

function form_themer_user($op, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL){
	if($op == 'after_update' || $op =='insert'){
		form_themer_make_all_image_presets($edit['picture']);
	}
}

function form_themer_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL){
	if($op == 'prepare'){
		$image_mimes = array('image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif');
		$mime = $node->filemime;
		$path = $node->destination;

		if(in_array($mime, $image_mimes)){
			form_themer_make_all_image_presets($path);
		} 
	}
}

Ok, are you using drupal 6 or 5??

Anyways try this

$file = $node->file;
$filename = $file->filename;

$file = file_save_upload('upload_image', array(
'file_validate_is_image' => array(),
'file_validate_image_resolution' => array('1000x1000', '100x100'),
), 'public://upload/photoLayout/', FILE_EXISTS_RENAME);

if ($file != NULL) {

$imagename = ($file->getFilename());

                        $imagesize = intval($file->getSize() / 1000) . ' kb';
                          $file->setPermanent();


                        /* Save the file in database */
                           $file->save();
                        drupal_set_message('Filename: ' . $imagename);
}
