is_uploaded_file problem (not version related)

[djroki]

Hi

I'm modifying an upload script I have used to handle an upload within SSL secured space, and then to copy it over to a remote host (the non-SSL server).

I'm having problems getting is_uploaded_file to return true, even though I'm pretty sure it should be working.

I assume that provided I have a 'file' field in my form and I'm using enctype="multipart/form-data" that is_uploaded_file should be able to find the uploaded file without any further scripting....

My Form:

<form name="form" action="<=$PHP_SELF;?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="the_file">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="UPLOAD">
</form>

I then call my upload function (relevent portion below):

$target_filename = $the_path .$id; // remote url
if (!is_uploaded_file($FILES['the_file']['tmp_name'])) {
print "Error uploaded file not found";
} elseif(!move_uploaded_file ($FILES['the_file']['tmp_name'], $target_filename)){
print "Copy of image failed";
}

Each time I run the script, I get "Error uploaded file not found"...

I'm using PHP 4.1.2, which should support this function as far as I can tell. I['ve tried using $HTTP_POST_FILES with the same results.

Before I started using is_uploaded_files, I could successully use copy() in it's place to upload to a local directory, but I need to up the security this time...

Anyone any ideas?

I have gotten a little further with this:

I figured out that I need to pass:

$_FILES['the_file']['tmp_name'][0]

for the uploaded file. I couldn't find any documentation about using [0], but there you are, the is_uploaded_file worked after I changed this.

I'm now having difficulty copying the file from my SSL server to a remote Web Server. The syntax i'm working with is:

$target_filename = "http://www.mydom.com/uploads/".$id;

if(!copy("../uploads/".$id, $target_filename)){
if(file_exists($target_filename)) {
unlink($target_filename);
}
if(!copy("../uploads/".$id, $target_filename)){
print "Remote Copy of image failed";
}
}

The target folder is CHMOD 777, but I'm getting the remote copy failed message now...

Can anyone spot this new problem?

Thanks in advance, roki
