IIS permissions for copy() function

[slevytam]

Hello,

I have a script that is supposed to perform a simple copy on an uploaded image. For some reason I cannot get it to return true.

I believe the problem may be with permissions; however, I have opened iis 6.0 and allowed read, write, and script access to the directory. I have also gone into the security settings for the directory and allowed full control on every user account. The only thing that seems strange is that for the Internet Guest Account write has both allow and deny checked. I have gone into the advanced settings and noticed that there are two listings for Internet Guest Account. One allows full control and the other denies write permissions. I can't however change the selection or remove it.

My code looks like this:
if( !is_dir($idir) )
{
echo("Specified directory is not valid... Exiting");
unlink($HTTP_POST_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name']);
exit();
}
else {
echo "Valid directory: ".$idir."\n"."<BR>";
}
$file_ext = strrchr($_FILES['imagefile']['name'], '.');

if (copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'],$idir.$HTTP_POST_FILES['imagefile']['name'])) {

If anyone can offer me assistance I would really appreciate it,

Thanks,

slevytam

Usually with windows the lowest Permission is the one used so if a user has a Deny as well as an Allow for say write Deny is the one used since its the lowest.

You may want to before trying to upload the file check that the directory is writable

if( !is_dir($idir) )
{
echo("Specified directory is not valid... Exiting");
unlink($HTTP_POST_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name']);
exit();
}
else {
echo "Valid directory: ".$idir."\n"."<BR>";
}
$file_ext = strrchr($_FILES['imagefile']['name'], '.');
if (is_writable("/path/to/dir"))
if (@copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'],$i
dir.$HTTP_POST_FILES['imagefile']['name'])) { 
  //uploaded file
} else {
  //couldnt upload
}
} 
else
{
  //directory isnt writable.
}

Also please use [php][/php] tags in future makes it a lot easier.

At a guess it is the NTFS file permissions that are blocking you: if it's IIS 6 then I guess its 2000 Server or 2003. Add Everyone to the user list in NTFS file permissions and grant Full Control. Then remove all other users. That should take care of the anonymous web user not being able to write to the dir.
