image upload script warning

[gregmiller]

hi all

Here is the upload script i am working on

$file = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
		$file = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
		echo $file;

	$file_type = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];
	echo $file_type;
    if($file_type=="image/pjpeg"||$file_type=="image/gif")
	{			
			if($file_type=="image/pjpeg")
            {
            	$destination = "images/".$file;
            	if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $destination))           //line no 105
				{ 
 					echo 'Upload file success!'; 
				} 
    	    }
            if($file_type=="image/gif")
            {
            	$destination = "images/".$file;
            	if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $destination)) 
				{ 
 					echo 'Upload file success!'; 
				} 
            }
            if(!move_uploaded_file($file,$destination))
		 	{
            	$Error=4;
		 	}
		}

		else
		{
			echo "some error message";
		}

This script returns the warning

Warning: move_uploaded_file(images/israel.gif) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in /usr/www/htdocs/somedomain/test/imageupload.php on line 105

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpztd8tq' to 'images/israel.gif' in /usr/www/htdocs/somedomain/test/imageupload.php on line 105

I do have shell acces to the place
Please help me

Any kind of help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

I chmod'ed 777 the directory
The warnings disapperared
is there any other secure way to upload a file
other than providing script logins

Thanks

Script logins? I'm not sure what that means. Your problem (as you saw) were the permissions. chmod of 777 seems a bit high, but you need something that the webserver can read and write to that dir. You may even try changing the groups around, or the owner.
