Safe Mode and Uploads

[Anon]

I am experiencing some difficulty with an upload script I've been trying to get going:

I don't think I have access to the temporary directory; the error I get mentions safe mode.

Therefore I cannot either write to it, or cannot copy from it - probably both.

Is there a way to upload to a different directory?

Thanks,

G.

you can check whether you are in safe mode with

echo get_cfg_var('safe_mode');

There is a little script here :

http://www.srparish.net/scripts/

it is called chuid. Your host will have to install it but it will allow for file uploads for everyone in safe mode. Afterwords, you'll be able to do something like this :

passthru ("chuid $file 1033");

@copy("$file", "/path/to/uploads/$file_name")
or die ("could not copy file $file_name");

Which 1033 being an example UID. To find your UID in shell you can do this :

echo $CHUID

This is one solution anyways :-)
