Easy Question

[deezin]

Hi there. I used to program in php but I am way out of practice. The question is that I have the following path. The site in question works perfectly but I need to save the file on a different server than what the script is on. Here is the path -

$the_path = "files/$MEMBER_ID/";

If I wanted to have the path http://www.allfreelancework.com/files/$MEMBER_ID

what would I make the path in the string above?

Please help.

um?

$the_path = "http://www.allfreelancework.com/files/files/$MEMBER_ID/";

Well I figured that it was allfreelancework.com in the front but when I did it, it gave me errors so I figured it was wrong. here are the erros I received

Warning: mkdir(http://www.allfreelancework.com/files/29): No such file or directory in /home/deezin/public_html/creativeportfolios/portfoliotest.php on line 736

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/deezin/public_html/creativeportfolios/portfoliotest.php on line 49

Any Ideas?

well, seems to be you wanna perform a disc operation (writing the file) in another server right? ... i never tried this so i will guess ok.

i think http will not support such .. so you cant use it even (also they are mapped names, not actual disc paths), how about ftp the thing to the server? .... ...

or else just send the required data to that different server, so a script which grabs the data can perform file operation

Hi there. Yes...you are correct. It is a portfolio site and I am trying to write an image to the server in the folder named file. The problem is that I can't do it manually because the site is pretty popular and it might get pretty tedious. I was hoping that it would be an easy answer. Would it help if I posted the entire page here? Thanks for your help.

Well, you can't use the http protocol to write files, or create directories on remote servers, for obvious security reasons.

Consider using the [man]ftp[/man] functions to log into the remote server and create the directory. Obviously, the user you log in as will need all the appropriate permissions to access the relevant parts of the remote server's directory structure.

sorry, i was a little unsure as to what you where trying to do.

you can ftp via php you know?

Thank you Guys - That is a huge help!!! :-)

[velanzia]

hey deez ... go ahead you can post it, is this popular site does not give you permissions to do anything? .. if so i think writing a single image would be a pretty hard work! ... thanx

[deezin]

Thank you Velanzia!

Here it is : Yes permissions are all set to 777. This file is on allcreativeportfolios.com but I want th files to be saved on allfreelancework.com

The file is too long so I will attach only a part of it.

wow ... what a file 😃 anyway .. im still copying it .. he he

hey deez .. since you are dealing with one image file .. how about using ftp ?

[deezin]

Hi there. I could use ftp - I am still considering it. But it won't just be one file...it would probably be several dozen a day if I decide to do it that way.

[velanzia]

hey most of the coding contains DB related lines, our path problem only matters to that "uploadimage" and "dc", etc... functions right? ..

and the parameter you are sending sould be that http path for the other server, deez it is not possible.

take a look at the "du" function even, it directly searches for the hard disc right, so the http and absolute directory paths does not match ...

[deezin]

Thanks Velanzia....I really appreciate you looking through the code like that. It was super nice of you. I guess I will use ftp then. thank you!

[velanzia]

you are welcome ..

That's what it's there for - it's not called "file transfer protocol" for nothing 🙂
