image corruption with copy()

blakey

Hi All,

I am having a strange problem... I am using a script I wrote that has worked fine elsewhere, but now on a new server...

i am simply copying an image from one dir to another -- but when i do, the image gets corrupted!
here is the code:

$newfile = "cgp".$date.".jpg";
$ufile = $current_dir.$file;
/ rename the chosen file, copy it to the cgp pod directory/
$upfile = $target_dir.$newfile;
copy($ufile, $upfile);
chmod($upfile,0777);

what gives?!

Thanks

Check the return code of the copy() function to see if it completed without error:

if ($copy($source, $destination)) {
   print "Success!";
}
else {
   print "No Love Here";
}

look here, maybe it helps:

Also, i've heard about a problem with some Apache modules. i don't remember exactly, but smth about charset decoding.

thanks for the responses.

The copy is saying it is successful, but the file is definately corrupt... it's filesize is 512 bytes.

I tried to look at the link you provided, but was unable to get any good info.... I will keep looking.

Thanks again.

hmmmm....there's a clue there...

512 bytes is precicely the initial size of a *nix directory pointer! Print out the values of $ufile and $upfile and post them here. It looks like you may be inadvertently creating some type of directory pointer rather than a copy of the image...

that was it... for some reason the origin file was in fact a directory! it was not copying the correct file!

ahhh!

thanks again.
