File Upload Dramas

Stevil

Hey all,

I've just came and working on a new job site doing some programming and they are having some troubles with uploading files on their server and I can't seem to figure out where the problem lies.

if (!(file_exists($img_source) && is_file($img_source))){
     echo "Image Source Error. Uploaded file not found.<br>";
     return false;
}

*img_source = tmp uploaded file;

I use this an it registers that the file does in fact exisit there for it was uploaded.

if($fp = move_uploaded_file($img_source, $img_dst)){
     print "Copy worked";
}else{
     print "Copy failed";
}

I use this code and it returns that the copy worked (I've also tried the "copy command")

After this the file doesn't appear in the right location (as far as I know any location) but the tmp file still exisit. I don't have a clue why this is not working. Any advice would be a great help.

ohhh, also the source and dest path are
source = /tmp/phpnXbDdz
dest = /home/sites/site25/web/img_news/img_11.gif

I'm not sure if that'll matter but thought I'd include all the info.

Try this:

if (!(file_exists($_FILES['img_source']['tmp_name']) && is_file($_FILES['img_source']['tmp_name']))){ 
     echo "Image Source Error. Uploaded file not found.<br>"; 
     return false; 
}

Could be that the server requires the declaration of global php variables, such as $FILE['blah'], $POST['blah'], etc.

Also make sure the upload section in the php.ini file is set properly.

Hope that helps.

I'm assuming that is all working since I got the info from printing the globals in the first place (I'm not a fan of using globals but thats how its been done here already) The file itself I'm assuming is being uploaded since I can get the tmp name for it by printing $image ($image being the name of the file field from the form)

Maybe I was wrong with the title of the topic and it should have been "Copying/Moving files drama" sorry.

im sorry i didnt have time to read though 100% of the posts, but i jsut solved a similar problem.

The following code limits the file type the .jpg's and .gif's but that part should be easy to take out (by simply removing the most nested if block):

 if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']))
{
        if (($_FILES['userfile']['type'] == 'image/gif') or ($_FILES['userfile']['type'] == 'image/pjpeg'))
        {
                copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "../images/profiles/". $_FILES['userfile']['name']);

            echo "success!";
    }
    else
    {
    echo "file type was not either .gif or .jpg";
    }
} else
{
    echo "Possible file upload attack. Filename: " . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
}

Just thought of something else....

Look at your server logs for that domain if you have access. There is a good chance that you are getting write access errors to the directory. If this is the case and you are getting errors from UNIX or Linux permissions, if you have root access, type at the prompt: chmod 755 /home/directory/subdirectory

Hope that could help, sorry the last post wasn't as helpful.

Hi All,

Thanks for the help you all offered me, I tried all of those but for some reason it still never worked 🙁 I think it must have been something wrong on the server side of things which I couldn't find.

I did solve the problem using a different method though and here it is for any else whom may have this problem:-

	if($fp = file_get_contents($img_source)){
		$open_file = fopen("$img_dst","w");
		fwrite($open_file, $fp); 
	}

just my own little copy function which worked a charm 🙂

Thanks again for all your help
