Simple upload problem

Uploading doesnt work locally here...
Is there a function which get the absolute path so the users dont have to set it up where the attachments should go...

thx for any suggestions!

i'm not sure if i got you right. you just wanna have an absolute path to the uploaded files, right?

if a file gets uploaded it goes to the default TEMP directory (if i remember right, you config that in the php.ini). you can read that config-entry by using get_cfg_var('upload_tmp_dir').

from there you move your file to it's final destination by using just copy() or move_uploaded_file().

maybe you should take a look at this. i found it quite useful.

$uploaddir = '/var/www/uploads/';

i need to get thid value from the server

Maybe you could use $SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. Ofcourse you would have to add that 'uploads' dir at the end because afterall, the server is not a mind reader 😉

$uploaddir=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/uploads/';
