File Upload in SAFE MODE

Anon

I have problem with file upload.

function copy($Ufile, $Ufile_name) caused this:

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 29366 is not allowed to access /tmp/phpYIjScV owned by uid 0

Where is my problem?

if you check phpinfo on your site, have a look for the safe mode settings. Your server is probably set up to prohibit file uploads.
Your script will have uploaded a file to /tmp and you'll be copying to a directory of your choice. Looks like your server will not allow your script access to files in /tmp.

Someone can provide a deeper technical answer!

BTW, you should be able to do it in Perl.

I'm not sure as to the how and why. Everything was working fine for me with file manipulation but when I tried using mysql it my system started giving me this error.

I finally found a switch in php.ini (usually
where the httpd.conf is located) where I could choose safemode = Off (instead of On)

Haven't looked futher, but it works, allthough there are probably some security risks attached to doing this.
