File upload error

phpscripters

Hello,

When trying to test my uploader script I get the following error:

Warning: copy(http://www.brianbourdon.net/phptt_4b/uploads/test.txt): failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections.
in /var/www/html/phptt_4b/doadd.php on line 49

I honestly cannot figure out the error. Here is the code:

 if($upload != "") {
   $tmp_name = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
   $new_name = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
   $type = $_FILES['upload']['type'];
   $size = $_FILES['upload']['size'];

   if(in_array($type, $filetypes)) {
    if($size < $max_filesize) {
     copy($upload, $upload_dir . "/" . $new_name);
     $uploaded_to = "$upload_dir/$new_name";

 $sql = "INSERT INTO `$tickets` SET board_id = '$bid', title = '$ttitle', body = '$tbody', upload = '$uploaded_to', priority = '3', user = '$user_name', timestamp = '$dateandtime', status = 'open'"; 
 $add = mysql_query($sql, $conn);     

 alert_goto("$lng_addedticket", "$scripts/main.php");

} else {
 error_msg("$lng_filetobig");
}
  } else {
   error_msg("$lng_fileinvalidtype");
  }

I have also tried to use the move_uploaded_file(); function but that produces the same error. I am allowing the txt file type to be uploaded through my "allowed" extensions array (i think, i have this allowed: text/plain). I am allowing GIF images to and the provide the same error.

Thanks for any help!

could this be a server sided issue?

The error has nothing to do with the code you posted.

Examine the line that contains

copy(http://www.brianbourdon.net/phptt_4b/uploads/test.txt)

You can only read from http URLs. That's what the error message is saying: that you can't connect to an http URL and write stuff to it (it's a URL, not a file).

HTTP and HTTPS
Allows read-only access to files/resources via HTTP 1.0, using the HTTP GET method. A Host: header is sent with the request to handle name-based virtual hosts. If you have configured a user_agent string using your ini file or the stream context, it will also be included in the request.
