Uploading files error

k89mmmk

I'm trying to upload a file with the following code:

<?php

$ftp_server = "xxx.xxxx.ca";

// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server");

// Initiate the Upload
$source_file = 'U:\sites\put\upload\2003_image5_76.jpg';
$destination_file = '/home/www/html/xxx.xxxx.ca/tmpImg.jpg';
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_ASCII);
?>

But keep getting the error "Warning: error opening U:\sites\put\upload\2003_image5_76.jpg in /home/www/html/xxx.xxxx.ca/sites/put/upload/tmpUpload2.php on line 13"
Line 13 is "$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_ASCII);"

Could anyone tell me why I'm getting this error? Or is there a better way to upload? Also, am I supposed to enter a password and user name, and if so, what is the code for this?

Any suggestions or advice are greatly appreciated! Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I looked at the manual, and now I am logging in (which works) but the upload is still not working. Here's the code I'm using:

<?php
// set up basic connection
$ftp_server = "xxx.xxxx.ca";
$ftp_user_name = "xxxx";
$ftp_user_pass = "xxxx";
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); 

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); 

// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { 
        echo "FTP connection has failed!";
        echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; 
        exit; 
    } else {
        echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
    }

// upload the file
$source_file = "U:\\sites\\put\\xxx.jpg";
$destination_file = "/home/www/html/xxx.xxxx.ca/tmpImg.jpg";
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY); 

// check upload status
if (!$upload) { 
        echo "FTP upload has failed!";
    } else {
        echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";
    }

?>

and I get this error:

Connected to xxx.xxxx.ca, for user xxxx
Warning: error opening U:\sites\put\xxx.jpg in /home/www/html/xxx.xxxx.ca/sites/put/upload/tmpUpload2.php on line 24
FTP upload has failed!

Any suggestions????

I have been working on writing a web-based ftp system, and from what I see, the problem is with your:

$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);

The thing is, the $source_file variable should contain the temporary name of the file, not the filename with which it is uploaded.

In my case, I have an input element of type "file", named "srcfile"
Assuming I want to name the file with the name it was uploaded with, I would use

$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $FILES['srcfile']['name'], $FILES['srcfile']['tmp_name'], FTP_BINARY);

I have actually written a class for this sort of thing, but it is currently under testing and development.
If you really want it I suppose I can pass it to you.

Where does that tmp_name come from? Is that defined somewhere???

I modified my code to make the file name coming from the form name='srcfile', and then your $upload line, but still an error:

Connected to xxx.xxxx.ca, for user xxxx
Warning: error opening in /home/www/html/xxx.xxxx.ca/sites/put/upload/tmpUpload2.php on line 23
FTP upload has failed!

where line 23 is

$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $FILES['srcfile']['name'], $FILES['srcfile']['tmp_name'], FTP_BINARY);

I think I'm going insane 😕

Here's a modified version of one of my original tests:

<html>
<head>
<title>Upload Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if (!empty($_POST['submit'])) {
	if (!empty($_FILES['sourcefile'])) {
		//testing the FTP functions
		$conn = ftp_connect("ftp.domain")
			OR die("Error: could not connect!");
		ftp_login($conn, "user@domain", "password")
			OR die("Error: could not login!");
		ftp_chdir($conn, "/home/user/public_html")
			OR die("Error: could not change dir to public_html!");
		print_r($_FILES['sourcefile']);
		ftp_put($conn, $_FILES['sourcefile']['name'], $_FILES['sourcefile']['tmp_name'], FTP_ASCII)
			OR die("Error: could not upload file!");
		ftp_quit($conn);
	}
	else {
		die("Error: source file not entered!");
	}
}
?>
<form action="<?php
	echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="sourcefile"><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload">
</form>
</body>
</html>

The domain might be something like phpbuilder.com

I copied your code word for word, and only changed log in name, password, domain, and directory. I didn't get any errors - but I'm also not seeing the file being put onto the server?!?!
