Uploading file

zzz

Hi, I'm trying to upload image to a directory above web level using absolute path in my script and keep getting this error:

Warning: copy(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose ...

My host says that they went ahead and disabled safe mode but I keep getting the same error. When I change the path to upload withing some directory on the web it works just fine.

I am able to created directories in that directory above web level using another web script... The files should go in those created directories. I checked and they're created with CHMOD 777.

What am I missing here?

Ok so the directories your uploading with are 777 Chomd? And safe mode is off?

Have a try using [man]move-uploaded-file[/man] That works even if safe mode is on.

I have noticed that if I manually create a directory and CHMOD it to 777 my file upload script works just fine, but if the folder is created but my other script, I keep getting the errors. When I tried move_uploaded_file instead of copy one of the errors went away but this one persisted:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 608 is not allowed to access /my/absolute/path/to/script/creted/directory owned by uid 99 in /absolute/path/to/my/script.php on line 337

Now, line 337 has this:

if (move_uploaded_file($source,$dest))

if (copy($source,$dest))

So where's the disconnect. How can I create a directory with the script and have it behave the same way as when I create directory manually? In both cases CHMOD is 777, I checked...

I have run into situations where SafeMode was compiled into PHP and thus could not be turned off. Even if the PHP.ini file was edited to SafeMode = Off (or whatever that line is).

Too I have had the experience when creating a directory from the web and passing "0777" as the last argument of the createdir() function, the directory still was created as a 0755, and I had to call chmod() on a dir from the script.

Sorry I can not be of more help...

How did you call CHMOD from the script?
Did it resolve your problem?
