"No such file or directory"

[itandme]

I have droped the idea about creating folders for alll uploads as it just wont work out with the permissions.

So, now i am only aming for uploading images to a certain directory.

this is the code i use:

<?
include("header.php");

$itemimage_name = "itemimg.jpg";
define(PATH, "../gmonth");

copy($itemimage, PATH."/".$itemimage_name) or die(mysql_error());


unlink($itemimage) or die("<b>Error:</b> could not delete uploaded file.");


include("foot.php");
?>

But i always get " Warning: Unable to open 'C:\web\project\images\archiveview_49.gif' for reading: No such file or directory in /home/lorens/public_html/dicemania/admin/boxup.php on line 10 "

Is it something wrong with the path? should it be relative to where the php file is, or what?

😕

Well I don't see enough code there to figure out the error. You know you need to use a form with a POST method to upload files, right?

I can respond to:

You could create an "imguploads" directory, set it world-writable, and then with .htaccess prevent Indexing or viewing of that directory unless the referrer is the site itself. Not sure how secure this would make it but you'd be able to have your script create and delete directories within imguploads.

well this is my form code:

print("Item image:<br>");
print("<form action='boxup.php'>");
print("<input type='file' name='itemimage'><br>");
print("<input type='Submit' value='UBMIT!'></form>");

but its just keep giving me the directory doesnt exist..

but should the path be relative to the php file, or to the server root or something?

and about the permissions. its just that when i create folders with mkdir, i cant edit them or delete them or annything, despite that i chmod them to full permissions.. can even delete them med rmdir()

You really should set a max file size. I set it to 500kb.

?>

Upload image for this item:
<form [b]ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"[/b] action="boxup.php" method="post">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" [b]name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="512000"[/b]>
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="itemimage" SIZE="35">
<input type="submit" name="SUBMIT">
</form>

<?php

Now can you post your upload processing script?

[itandme]

the reason why i havent set a max filesize is becouse i am the only one who will be using it.

i added the enctype part, didnt make any diffirence though.

and my uploading process script? uhr.. well, i just posted that.. here it is:

$itemimage_name = "itemimg.jpg";
define(PATH, "../gmonth");

copy($itemimage, PATH."/".$itemimage_name) or die(mysql_error());



unlink($itemimage) or die("<b>Error:</b> could not delete uploaded file.");

[feldon23]

$the_path= "/home/elvis/www/uploads/";
$filename = $the_path."testing.jpg";

if (!@copy($itemimage, $filename)) {
	echo ("\n<b>Something barfed, check the path to and the permissions for the upload directory</b>");
} else {
	echo ("\n<br>File Upload Complete!<br>\n");
}

unset($itemimage);

argh this is driving me crazy!

still not working! and i set folder permissions to full.. still nothing.. Just getting that error msg.. something barfed..

what can else be wrong? 😕

thanks

If register_globals is set to off on your server, then you might have to change this to:

$the_path= "/home/elvis/www/uploads/";
$filename = $the_path."testing.jpg";

echo "The file you uploaded is: ".$_FILES['itemimage']['name'];

copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['itemimage']['tmp_name'], $filename);

unset($itemimage);

[itandme]

nope.. still not working..

The file you uploaded is:
Warning: Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in /home/lorens/public_html/dicemania/admin/boxup.php on line 9

can it be something wrong with the server ownerships?

not becouse this is the only´thing i have tried, but is this a valid dir: '../gmonth/' ?

[feldon23]

What are you getting from this line: ""The file you uploaded is: ""?

If you want to come into a chatroom we can try to work on this in real-time.

[itandme]

I just get:
The file you uploaded is:
Warning: Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in /home/lorens/public_html/dicemania/admin/boxup.php on line 9

And i even got my webhost to change all ownerships to me, and still it aint working.

this is my current script:

$the_path= "home/lorens/public_html/dicemania/gmonth/";
$filename = $the_path."testing.jpg";

echo "The file you uploaded is: ".$_FILES['itemimage']['name'];

copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['itemimage']['tmp_name'], $filename);

unset($itemimage);

I also just tried tha path
$the_path= "../gmonth";

(about a hundred times.)

You need a / in front of home.

And change $_FILES to $HTTP_POST_FILES

This is all for testing purposes.
