Upload directory....

[Kevmaster]

I am receiving the following error:
Warning: copy(test/IMAGE NAME.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/beogor/public_html/gallery_php/doupload.php on line 12

when the file doupload.php is run. Here are the first twenty lines of code:

catagory, useremail, and fileName are passed in from a form via POST.
assume catagory is a valid directory within the folder that upload.html and doupload.php are located in.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks!

<?
// PASSED VARS:
	// $fileName
	// $catagory
	// $useremail


$destination = "$catagory";
$destination .= "/";
$destination .= "$fileName_name";

copy ("$fileName", "$destination"); // LINE 12

$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "IMAGE UPLOAD SUCCESSFUL";
$msg = "The file named: $fileName has been uplaoded in the folder: $catagory by the user: $useremail";
$msghead = "";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $msghead);
//mail($useremail, $subject, $msg, $msghead);
?>

Well, that's not too hard. First you type an opening square bracket, then the lower case letters 'php', and then a closing square bracket. After the code block, you type an opening square bracket, then a slash, then the lower case letters 'php', and then a closing square bracket....

As to the real issue...does the web server you are running this on really have permission to write to "$catagory" ??

Sorry...when I click "PHP" at the top, it prints them with uppercase. didn't know i had to change it to lowercase

Hmm, I wonder if you do need lowercase ... I just always do it that way ...

echo $foo;

... I guess I'll see when I post this...

That's good, as long as you actually want the whole world to be able to write to that folder... 😉

Can't exactly say what would be better, because it's highly dependent on your setup.

Have fun with PHP!
