PHP Uploading

[Anon]

Hi, I have a PHP file uploader to allow users to upload files through their browser, however, it seems to only allow me to set the directory where the uploaded files are going to a folder BELOW the "upload.php" script. Is there any way I can set the recieved files folder above the folder thats sending them? For example, the $PATH variable is set at /uploads which means all uploaded files are going in a lower directory, where as I need them in an above directory. Any ideas?

Uploads go to the defined temp-dir (check your php.ini for "upload_tmp_dir = "), or if not defined the system's default temp-dir. After checking whether the upload was OK, you can move the file anywhere with:

if( is_uploaded_file( $sFile ) )
{
$bFileResult = @move_uploaded_file( $sFile, $sDirectory . "/" . $sFile_name );
}

with $sDirectory where you want to move the file. Beware: $sFile contains the temporary file name assigned by PHP, $sFile_name is the original file name, $sFile_size is the size. More info to be found on http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

Even easier is to change the default tmp-file to the directory you want, just make sure it's writable for your webserver (possible security hazard!).

you have to set the absolute directory..

i.e,

/your/path/to/the/directory/you want/uploaded/to/
