Upload still not working

Ole

Hi!
I have been here before a few days ago with a similar problem, but have changed the upload script in the mean time.
I'm using WS_FTP LE and have "Read" and "Write" permissions as "Owner" to the directory where the file should be uploaded to.

When I try to upload a correct file, I get the "Could not upload the file"-error message and nothing is uploaded.
When I try to upload a file that is e.g. too big I get the right error message and the file is rejected as it should.

In the error log on the web-server:
PHP Warning: Unable to create '/docs/grafik/bands/test.jpg': No such file or directory in ///www.mysite.dk/docs/admin/action.php on line 92

picture.php:

...
<FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"action.php\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">
...
<INPUT TYPE=\"file\" NAME=\"img\" SIZE=\"79\">
...
<INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"ins_pict\" VALUE=\"Upload\">
...

action.php:

IF($_POST['ins_pict']) {

$ins_pict=$_POST['ins_pict'];
$id=$_POST['id'];

$allowedTypes = array("image/jpeg", "image/pjpeg", "image/jpg"); //allowed file types
$maxFileSize = 30720; //max size in bytes
$maxImgWidth = 200; //max width in pixels

IF($_FILES['img']['tmp_name']!= '') {
	/* -- -- if img-input-field ok -- -- */

	//File type allowed?
	IF (in_array($_FILES['img']['type'],$allowedTypes)) {

		//Size allowed?
		IF ($_FILES['img']['size'] <= $maxFileSize) {

			//What is the width?
			$size = getImageSize($_FILES['img']['tmp_name']);
			list($foo, $width, $bar, $height) = explode("\"",$size[3]);

			//Width allowed?
			IF ($width <= $maxImgWidth) {

				$path = "/docs/grafik/bands/";//*nix-path

				copy($_FILES['img']['tmp_name'], $path."/".$_FILES['img']['name']) or die("Could not upload file");
				unlink($_FILES['img']['tmp_name']);

				$mess = "Picture added!";
			}
			ELSE {
				//Error mess. if pict too big
				$mess = "Picture NOT added. It is too big!";
			}
		}
		ELSE {
			//Error mess. if file too big
			$mess = "Picture NOT added. The file is too big!";
		}
	}
	ELSE {
		//Error mess. if file type not allowed
		$mess = "Picture NOT added. The file type is not allowed!";
	}
}
ELSE {
	//Error mess. if input field empty
	$mess = "Picture NOT added. File not specified!";
}
Header("Location:picture.php?id=$id&mess=$mess");
}

I am very confused!

Thanks
Ole

as far as i understand, you have to use relative path

./docs/grafik/bands/test.jpg

instead of absolute

/docs/grafik/bands/test.jpg

. root of your ftp folder is not root of a whole server filesystem.

I have tried to change $path to:

$path = "./docs/grafik/bands";//*nix-path

and

$path = "./grafik/bands";//*nix-path

Still not working.

By the way: In the script I have posted.

$path = "/docs/grafik/bands/";//nix-path

should read

$path = "/docs/grafik/bands";//*nix-path

My mistake....

Thanks!

I got this error

Could not upload file

😕

If this helps:
The site is running on a FreeBSD with Apache 1.3.26 and PHP PHP/4.2.2.

axman

Use move_uploaded_file instead of copy.

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php

I think that will solve your problem.

planetphp

is the upload folder chmod 666???

IF ($width <= $maxImgWidth) {

                $path = "/docs/grafik/bands/";//*nix-path

                copy($_FILES['img']['tmp_name'], $path."/".$_FILES['img']['name']) or die("Could not upload file");
                unlink($_FILES['img']['tmp_name']);

                $mess = "Picture added!";
            }

I had ran into a problem with something similar. It resulted in me having to get the entire path (ie. /home/fand/docs/grafik/bands) and then calling the chdir() function before I issed my copy (excluding the $path in the copies).

You also should check to see if the copy and unlink commands were success, I would imagine. For the time being you should try switching everything to chmod 0777 (directories and files) to make sure it is not a permission problem...

Might want to try that?

hey,

just wanted to say thanks to "axman" for the code suggestion, move_uploaded_file. I was having problems with the "Copy" function ... everything from it couldnt open the file, to basedir restriction was in effect!

I used the following code which now works perfectly...

$directory = opendir("$path");
$result = move_uploaded_file("$fileName", "$path/$fileName_name");

$fileName is the variable which stores the file from the form...
$path is simply the path where the user wants to upload to... eg: $path = "images/";

Thanks for the help!!!
