Upload

Anon

I am tesing PHP upload with the basic script outlined in the Upload article here on PHPBuilder and in the PHP Manual, but the script always outputs--

Warning: Rename failed (Invalid cross-device link)

---the directory being copied to is set to 777 so I'm not sure what to make.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Can we see your code?

Here it is--

<?
if ($action == "form") {

?>
<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" METHOD=POST>
Max Filesize: 1 MB<BR>
<INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file" SIZE=10>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="action" VALUE="insertfile">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send">
<?
exit;
}

if ($action == "insertfile") {
$dat = date("U");
$file = "../filebin/" . $userfile_name;
rename ($userfile, $file);

}

Try copy instead of rename:
if ($action == "insertfile") {
$dat = date("U");
$file = "../filebin/" . $userfile_name;
copy($userfile, $file);
}

With the Same Code David is using. I recieve the following error message.

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1017 is not allowed to access /var/tmp/phpCk3639 owned by uid 0 in /virtual/begood.uhome.net/./upload.php3 on line 17

if ($action == "insertfile") {
$dat = date("U");
$file = "/tmp/".$userfile_name;
copy ($userfile, $file);

where tmp is the directory with the mode 777.
Any idea why?

I don't know the inner workings of "safe mode" but it looks like your script is being restricted to it's root directory and can't read outside of it. If that's really the case then there's nothing you can do while safe mode is on.

i dont understand!

Anon

Hehe, php has move_uploaded_file(), this solve all your problems :-)
