Help! upload_tmp_dir problem

[DotSPF]

Heya - need some help I'm afraid - I get the following error with a simple file upload script:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(G:/Inetpub/wwwroot/futureinnovation/readme.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in g:\inetpub\wwwroot\futureinnovation\upload.php on line 8

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'G:\WINDOWS\TEMP\php51.tmp' to 'G:/Inetpub/wwwroot/futureinnovation/readme.txt' in g:\inetpub\wwwroot\futureinnovation\upload.php on line 8

The thing is, obviously I don't allow upload rights to my windows temp folder, but I've changed the temporary upload folder in php.ini as below...

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir = G:\Inetpub\wwwroot\phptemp

Any ideas how to solve this? Is there something wrong with my php.ini? Is there a line I can add to the actual upload.php script which forces a different temp upload dir to the default?

Your help is invaluable - I'm very new to all this but doing my best!

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php

The parameters are

bool move_uploaded_file ( string filename, string destination)

the 2nd parameter includes where to upload to. You need to specify where you want to upload to (and the filename), then give that directory write access (chmod to 777)

Sorry mate, I don't understand I'm afraid.

My actual script is...

<?php

$uploaddir = 'G:/Inetpub/wwwroot/futureinnovation/';

print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir . $FILES['userfile']['name'])) {
print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. Here's some more debugging info:\n";
print_r($FILES);
} else {
print "File Upload Failed! Here's some debugging info:\n";
print_r($FILES);
}

?>

...and so the move_uploaded_file stuff you suggested is already there, at least as far as I understand it. I think the problem is where the temporary file is sent to, but it's only a guess.

[cgraz]

two things I can think of: I usually use relative paths rather than full paths. That might make a difference.

secondly, you will need to set the folder permissions so that you have write access. CHMOD to 777 or use php's chmod() function if it comes to it.

Hmm... chmod 777... this doesn't apply to IIS. Folder permissions are fine, the problem is the temporary folder the script is accessing is not the same as the one I've specified in php.ini

maybe you should check out the copy() function
