Image Upload

[Anon]

I have a working Upload script. The file is uploaded, no errors. But when I goto see the file in the browser, it's not there. But if look on FTP and through SSH, the file is there but I can't do anything to it. I can't rename, delete, move, etc. But I can see it's there, and see it has a K size. On SSH it show the file with a at the end. like image.jpg. According to my linux book that's an executable. If that's true how did that happen. I have this code for file type

$image_registered_types = array("image/gif" => ".gif", "image/jpeg" => ".jpg, .jpeg");
$image_allowed_types = array("image/gif", "image/jpeg");

And this copies it to the directory

if (!copy($the_file, $path . "/ " . $the_file_name)) {
$error = "Something barfed, check the path to and the permissions for the upload directory.";

I'm using PHP 4 with Linux. I don't have an admin abilities since it's a virtual host.

Did you try looking to see if the permissions are set to public read?

whoa, that hecka odd. I replied to your question 6 hours ago, but it did not get posted. Now i have to type it in again :-)

What is wrong in your code is the space character after the /. So your line should read:

if (!copy($the_file, $path . "/" . $the_file_name)) {

You had put the space character after the "/ part. Doing this will name the file with a space character as the first character. As far as the execute perm. Well, the server automatically puts this. As long as the user which the server runs as does not have this execute permission, its OK.

do ls -l and it should say something like:
-rwxr-xr-- 1 user group filesize filename.

to remove your file with the space character under shell do:
rm " image.jpg" (with the quotes and the first character as a space character)

in FTP do:

del " image.jpg"

that should get rid of your annoying "space'd" files!

hope this helps,
