[Resolved] Upload temp Dir problem

[Drebin]

I'm trying to follow an example in a book and I already have the code for an uploading script but i can't get it to work. I think it's a problem with a path in my php.ini file. Here's how I have it setup:

;upload_tmp_dir = c:/apache/htdocs/uploads

I've also tried this with the "\" slash.

This is the code in the script:

// put the file where we'd like it
  $upfile = ' c:/apache/htdocs/uploads/ '.$userfile_name;

The book doesn't explain how to setup the paths. What am I doing wrong?

If you look at the top of the php.ini file, it says:

; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines
; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).

Remove your semicolon.

Thanks, I didn't even notice that. However, i'm still having problems. I even downloaded a pre-made upload script and i can't get it to work. Here is what my php ini line now looks like:

upload_tmp_dir = c:/apache/htdocs/uploads/ ; temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not specified)

I even tried leaving it blank so that the default would be used but that didn't work either.

I'm going to post the entire script (with a link to where I got the script).

<?php
//http://www.skinsntemplates.com/view.php?id=50&title=File%20Uploads
  //Define some variables
      $dir = "c:/apache/htdocs/uploads2/"; //Change this to the correct dir
    //MIME types to allow, Gif, jpeg, JPG, zip ::Edit this to your liking
      $types = array("image/gif","image/pjpeg","application/x-zip-compressed");

//Check to determine if the submit button has been pressed
    if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

//Shorten Variables
     $tmp_name = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
     $new_name = $_FILES['upload']['name'];



//Check MIME Type
    if (in_array($_FILES['upload']['type'], $types)){




     //Move file from tmp dir to new location

    move_uploaded_file($tmp_name,$dir . $new_name);

    echo "{$_FILES['upload']['name']} was uploaded sucessfully!";                 



}else{


//Print Error Message


echo "<small>File <strong><em>{$_FILES['upload']['name']}</em></strong> Was Not 

Uploaded!</small><br />";

//Debug
   $name =  $_FILES['upload']['name'];
   $type =    $_FILES['upload']['type'];
   $size =    $_FILES['upload']['size'];
   $tmp =     $_FILES['upload']['name'];

   echo "Name: $name<br/ >Type: $type<br />Size: $size<br />Tmp: $tmp";

}

}


else{


echo 'Could Not Upload Files';

}
        ?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" 

enctype="multipart/form-data">

  <fieldset>
          <legend>Upload Files</legend>



      <input type="file" name="upload" />
</fieldset>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload Files" />
</form>

This worked for me all I did was change the $dir variable to one of my directories like this

$dir = "c:\\program files\\apache group\\apache2\\htdocs\\upload\\";

I'm running a win98 server with apache and php4. Yeah that was the only thing i changed

Thanks a lot. It now works for me too.
