Problem when uploading images to mysql in Unix server

prwong

Hi,everybody.

I am developing a php program which uploads image from my local drive to mysql server. For development purpose, i install apache server and mysql server in my own machine. It is a window 200 server edition. Everything work fines in my own machine that i can upload image to mysql server.

But when i upload all my source code to the web hosting. They are using UNIX server, when i upload image, the error code like that:

Warning: fopen("C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\cegu\images\Computer & mouse.jpg","r") - No such file or directory in /home/hosting/cegu/public_html/admin/testImage.php on line 6

do anyone know that what is the problem?

Thanks for advanced.

Cheers,
Priscilla

there is no "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\" directory on UNIX servers and UNIX use not backslashes, but slashes. so try to use not absolute, but relative paths like ./cegu/images instead of C:\Program Files\ApacheGroup\Apache\htdocs\cegu\images[/B]

Thanks for your advice first.
But in my case, the images are not uploaded in the UNIX server.
They are exists in the local machine.

Actually i want to use the html form to allow clients to upload the images to the mysql server. Their machine usually are Window platform. How can i work for it?

Thanks again.

Cheers,

I'm developing a script along similar lines and running into the same error. The server I'm uploading to is running PHP as a CGI Interpreter on a Unix machine. I, and must of my visitors will be uploading images from Windows machines.

I've been trying to get this working for the last few days and feel I'm just bashing my head against a wall.

I've seen conflicting inforamtion on using symbolic and absolute links, tried both and couldn't get either to work.

I've attempted to contact my hosting company for input but am getting stonewalled there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
