Upload...success...shows right dir, no image.

Success! /tmp/phpsCTtZg uploaded to /home/zayyscec/public_html/Car/

is the message I get. 0 files to my Car directory like it says though. I am trying to uplaod from computer to website via this code:

 <? 
include('dbinfo.inc.php');
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM admin WHERE password='$password'") or die(mysql_error());
$rows = mysql_num_rows($query); 
if($rows=1){
include('top.php'); 
   include('left.php');?>

 <td width="81%"> <? 

 $where = "/home/zayyscec/public_html/$path"; 

if($userfile != "") 
{ 
$dir = $where . "/" . $file_name; 
copy($file_name, $dir); 
echo "Success! $userfile uploaded to $dir ";
}
?>
 </td> <?
include('bottom.php'); 
} else {
 include('top.php'); 
   include('left.php');?> <td height="110"> <?
   print "Password is invalid. "; 
   ?> </td> <?
include('bottom.php');
} 
?>

Anyone know why it says it moved something I didnt tell it to from my tmp dir to my Car dir that it never really did.
Thanks!

it looks like it should work, but i think i know what could be the problem.

in copy($file_name, $dir); where do you get the $file_name ?
also, in the line:
echo "Success! $userfile uploaded to $dir ";

the file you are echoing is $userfile.

so, either you have to change $file_name to $userfile in the copy() or its something related to those two strings.

lastly, just out of curiosity, where do you get the $path string in
$where = "/home/zayyscec/public_html/$path"; ?

another way to find the cause of your problem is hardcode the path into the copy() function and see if that works. then you know its the strings. (you you can echo the strings and paths before and after the copy() function.

hope that helps.

afer changing them both to $userfile I get this:

Success! /tmp/phpIgXWXW uploaded to /home/zayyscec/public_html/Truck//tmp/phpIgXWXW

I get $path from the form page. It has password, path, and userfile variables.

I checked that dir...I use WS-FTP so I dont see public_html, etc, /www...but I dont see the dir or image in the dir listed above.

I assume all the files I have been uploading to my server are under public_html folder, but yeah.

I dont know where this dir is coming from in the success message:

/tmp/phpIgXWXW .... I think it is the image name I echoed, but the real files name was 63.jpg

Still no dice using this code:

 <? 
include('dbinfo.inc.php');
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM admin WHERE password='$password'") or die(mysql_error());
$rows = mysql_num_rows($query); 
if($rows=1){
include('top.php'); 
   include('left.php');?>

 <td width="81%"> <? 

 $where = "/home/zayyscec/public_html/$path"; 

if($userfile != "") 
{ 
$dir = $where . "/" . $userfile; 
copy($file_name, $dir); 
echo "Success! $userfile uploaded to $dir ";
}
?>
 </td> <?
include('bottom.php'); 
} else {
 include('top.php'); 
   include('left.php');?> <td height="110"> <?
   print "Password is invalid. "; 
   ?> </td> <?
include('bottom.php');
} 
?>

hmmm..

solution?
when all else fails, remove the variables (and error checking) and hard code the paths.
when that works, put the vars back in.

so, do this.

copy($file_name, 'home/zayyscec/public_html/Truck/');

and see if that works. (you might have to change $file_name to $userfile)

problem?
another thing i noticed is that in your output
Success! /tmp/phpIgXWXW uploaded to /home/zayyscec/public_html/Truck//tmp/phpIgXWXW

the "upload to" path probably does not exists, so that's a reason it isn't uploading it. (you problably don't have a tmp/ dir in Truck).
you might have also noticed there are 2 forward slashes in the path.

this could mean the the $dir variable is being put together wrong.
maybe removing the $dir var completely might make you code work.

have fun. 🙂
