Image uploading script error

MatrixGL

I was trying to make the following script work, but when I run the script, I get this error:

"Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/gamerzlive.com/httpdocs/upload/index.php on line 49
upload failed!"

I chomoded the folder to 777 and did everything that I was suppose to do but still not working.

You can see the script here: www.gamerzlive.com/upload/index2.php . (Netscape is not supported.)

<?php

// Image file upload by Bloody

$path = "/usr/local/psa/.......live.com/httpdocs/upload/";
$max_size = 200000;

if (is_uploaded_file($userfile)) {

if ($userfile_size>$max_size) { echo "The file is too big<br>\n"; exit; }

if (($userfile_type=="image/gif") || ($userfile_type=="image/pjpeg")) {

if (file_exists($path . $userfile_name)) { echo "The file already exists<br>\n"; exit; }

$res = copy($userfile, $path . $userfile_name); (((((((((((((<---- Line 49 ))))))))))))))
if (!$res) {
echo "upload failed!<br>\n"; exit; }
else
echo "upload sucessful<br>\n";

echo "File Name: $userfile_name<br>\n";
echo "File Size: $userfile_size bytes<br>\n";
echo "File Type: $userfile_type<br>\n";
} else { echo "Wrong file type<br>\n"; exit; }

}

?>

I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Well, as the error message notes, open_basedir restriction is in effect; when this restriction is turned on, PHP will only allow access to files in certain directories (obviously one or the other directories involved in the move isn't one of those it's allowing access to.)

php.ini
; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the defined directory
; and below. This directive makes most sense if used in a per-directory
; or per-virtualhost web server configuration file. This directive is
; NOT affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.
;open_basedir =

Excuse my stupidness, but I am relatively new at php. And I dont quiet understand what you said above :🙁

What Weedpacket is trying to say is that with the open_basedir option set in your php.ini file, you are restricted to having files in certain directories only. You are trying to write your file to a location outside of these directories.

If the server is hosted by your ISP, you made need to contact them to find out the list of directories that you can use for your web files, otherwise, you just need to remove the setting in your php.ini file.

Hello All,

I am also having this problem with the file upload.
Also to repair this problem could you setup a new $dir with
.htaccess?

Thank you
