php newbie desperately needs help with image uploading

buddhist

Hi I'm new to php and web development and have been working on this one issue all day long. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've currently got a form that allows a user to submit information along with an image file (restricted to mime type image/*)
The post variable assigned to the "file" input is 'userfile'

I've also set the folder agents_images to chmod 777

Now on my php script side, I'm having issues with this script:

$uploadDir = '/domains/thompson/html/agents_images/';
$uploadFile = $uploadDir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile))

^ this is line 64

{
    print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. ";
    print "Here's some more debugging info:\n";
    print_r($_FILES);
}
else
{
    print "File not uploaded to right directory!  Here's some debugging info:\n";
    print_r($_FILES);
}
print "</pre>";

The error I'm getting is this:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to access /domains/thompson/html/agents_images/bukyo.JPG in /users/www/domains/thompson/html/AddAgent.php on line 64

File not uploaded to right directory! Here's some debugging info:
Array
(
[userfile] => Array
(
[name] => bukyo.JPG
[type] => image/pjpeg
[tmp_name] => /tmp/phpqQaOws
[error] => 0
[size] => 9331
)

)

Any help or clues would be very much appreciated! Thank you!

Have you chmodded the directory 777 ? You can do this in your FTP Client. Also you should surpress this type of error by using an @ infront of the function and create your own custom error.

I've changed the chmod on agents_images folder to 777

Are there any other folders that need to have permissions set?

Thanks again!

If you have other directories or sub directories which have file uploads yes you would need to do them as well otherwise for this script you dont need to.

Hi thanks for your continued assistance.

There are no other directories that are getting uploads. Only have one upload to the agents_images folder which has the settings of 777.

Do you know by any chance what is meant by the unable to access part of: "Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to access /domains/thompson/html/agents_images/bukyo.JPG in /users/www/domains/thompson/html/AddAgent.php on line 64

Could my ISP have some settings wrong on their server? If so, which could it be?

Thank you all once again.
