This is frustrating...

Storyman

On my local server this error appears when attemping to upload a file:

Warning: copy(C:/websites/tempfiles): failed to open stream: Permission denied in c:\websites\testing_server\chapter8\uploader.php on line 5 Could not copy file

This is line 5:

copy ("$file", "C:/websites/tempfiles") or die("Could not copy file");

On recommendation from members in this forum I changed the permission for the folders involved to 'Share' for 'Everyone'. Still the error occurs.

What else is could be causing the error code?

give the user your webserver runs under permission to write to the specified directory.

Drawmack,

Maybe I'm missing something here, but permission to the users has been given as well as the folders being set for sharing. Is there another security process to set?

The localhost is on a Win2K system running Apache. The other possibility is that the coding is incorrect. Currently the configuration for temp files in php.ini is:

upload_tmp_dir = "./c:\websites\tempfiles"

And line 5 referred to in the error message is:

copy ("$file", "C:/websites/tempfiles/") or die("Could not copy file");

It is likely that the problem is something simple and easily overlooked, so your help is greatly appreciated.

I am not going to say if this is right or not but umm...

copy ("$file", "C:/websites/tempfiles") or die("Could not copy file");

Do you think that it could be this instead:

copy ("$file", "C:\websites\tempfiles") or die("Could not copy file");

Like I said that I am SURE you have tried this. Just making sure you covered all grounds.
