upload failure!

[adnan1983]

I have been trying to upload files using this piece of code, it shows me the details of the file right every time. But it doesn't actually upload the file. Was wondering if there is something I would have to add to this code (other then the error handlers)?

<?php
  $uploadPath = "var/www/html/foo/uploads/".$file_name;
  echo "Your file has been uploaded. Details of the file is listed below: ";
  echo "<br>";
  echo "Filename:  ".$file_name;
  echo "<br>";
  echo "File size: ".$file_size;

?>

Did you check your /tmp folder for the file? It may be getting uploaded there needing to be copied to your specific location. Just a quick thought,

i just checked it, but there is no /tmp folder for the file. Checked all possible folders.

It's difficult for me to see what's happening here because the heart of your code is missing. If you're uploading a file via a form, you'll have a variable for the uploaded file. I would run a print_r on this variable to see all of its contents and get a better idea of what the server received from the client.

the variable name from the form is $file, for the file that is being uploaded.

What do you get when you run this code:

print "<pre>";
print_r($file);
print "</pre>";

That should help you out a little more.

That's the output! But I have no clue where that tmp directory is at all.

/tmp/phpuoISRc
Your file has been uploaded. Details of the file is listed below:
Filename: vislab.txt
File size: 42

If you're running this code on a linux box, it should simply be /tmp straight from the root. Maybe you don't have access to view this folder? If that's the case, you should be able to copy that /tmp/filename that your code is returning to a more manageable location.

What if I tried to copy the file to the path, will this by any chance help:

$uploadPath = "var/www/html/horizon/uploads/".$file_name;
			copy ($file, $uploadPath);
			echo "Your file has been uploaded. Details of the file is listed below: ";
			echo "<br>";
			echo "Filename:  ".$file_name;
			echo "<br>";
			echo "File size: ".$file_size;

I am trying to upload this to a remote server, so do I have to change any permissions for that certain folder that I am uploading it too. Cause now it is giving me this error:

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 574 is not allowed to access / owned by uid 0 in /home/virtual/site70/fst/var/www/html/horizon/upload.php on line 17
Your file has been uploaded. Details of the file is listed below:
Filename: vislab.txt
File size: 42

this is the code that I am using:

$uploadPath = "/foo/uploads/".$file_name;
	copy ($file, $uploadPath);
	echo "Your file has been uploaded. Details of the file is listed below: ";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "Filename:  ".$file_name;
	echo "<br>";
	echo "File size: ".$file_size;
