Image Upload

sramalho

I have a reseller account on a web hosting site and one of my customers wants to be able to upload images (i.e. Car Dealer).

The server is running Apache, with PHP and mySQL. But, it doesn't allow the permissions for FTP uploading through PHP. So, the open_basedir command doesn't work.

Does anyone know a way around this?

What about fopen() ?

$fp = fopen($filename, "w") or die("Couldn't open $filename");

fwrite ($fp, $upload_file);
fclose ($fp);

Where $filename = the file name, chosen by you

and

$upload_file = content of $filename.

Hope this helps

I think I'm having trouble with my hosting provider. I get this message now:

Warning: fopen("image.gif", "w") - Permission denied in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/answergraphics.com/httpdocs/upload.php on line 4
Couldn't open

What did you mean by "content of upload_file?" Is that where I would specify the remote location of where I want the file to go? Or, whether it's a gif, jpec, etc?

Linux/unix file systems are permissions based, so you may have to set the permissions in the directory that you are saving to.

Look up chmod in your Linux user manual.

$upload file, use this variable to store the content of your file.

Ie, if you were storing some text, it might be:

$upload_file = "Hello";

I am going out on a limb here, but would i be correct in thinking that you have an online form, in which a user can browse for an image file, before uploading it.

In which case, $upload_file would be the content of your input form.

Eg.

$image = $HTTP_GET_VARS["image"];

$upload_file = $image;

Hope that helps.
