Image upload problem

Anon

Okay, bizarre problem. Here\'s my code for an upload script (that I actually got off of here):

$the_path = \"/home/2036110209/www/web/modules/Encyclopedia/pictures\";

			$registered_types = array(
			\"image/gif\" => \".gif\",
			\"image/pjpeg\" => \".jpg, .jpeg\",
			\"image/jpeg\" => \".jpg, .jpeg\");

			$allowed_types = array(\"image/gif\",\"image/pjpeg\",\"image/jpeg\");

			if (isset($task) && strstr($task, \"transmit\"))
			{

			if ($the_file == \"none\")
			{
			exit();
			}

			copy($the_file, $the_path . \"/\" . $the_file_name);

			}

I end up getting the following error:

Warning: Unable to create \'/home/2036110209/www/web/modules/Encyclopedia/pictures/\': Is a directory in /home/2036110209/www/web/modules/Encyclopedia/index.php on line 313

1) I am quite positive the pictures directory exists

2) I am quite positive that the permissions are currently set to 777.

Any ideas what the problem is?

Okay, that's weird. Don't know why there are backward slashes () througout my post, but please ignore them.

copy($the_file, $the_path . \"/\" . $the_file_name);

May be you should remove the two "\" in copy()

The backward slashes are not actually part of my code. I have no idea why they showed up on here?? Let me try posting again to make it easier for people to read:

$the_path = "/home/2036110209/www/web/modules/Encyclopedia/pictures";

			$registered_types = array(
			"image/gif" => ".gif",
			"image/pjpeg" => ".jpg, .jpeg",
			"image/jpeg" => ".jpg, .jpeg");

			$allowed_types = array("image/gif","image/pjpeg","image/jpeg");

			if (isset($task) && strstr($task, "transmit"))
			{

			if ($the_file == "none")
			{
			exit();
			}

			copy($the_file, $the_path . "/" . $the_file_name);

			}

Looks like $the_file_name does not have a value assigned.

I assume you are using a form to post this, and the name of the file input box is this_file.

Did you specify the encoding type in your <form> tag?

Did you specify a max_file_size value in a hidden variable ?
