cant copy file. no permission

germanjulian

Hi I am trying to upload several images to a user directory. I am using Windows XP home and I installed WAMP5 on my machine.
Everything seems to work but the files wont copy to their intended directory and I get this error:
Warning: copy(C:\wamp\www\dissertation\images\dan) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in c:\wamp\www\dissertation\functions\Image\upload_image.php on line 18

<b><form name="form1" method="post" action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="imagefile">
<br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

        copy ($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'], "C:\\wamp\\www\\dissertation\\images")

what do i need to do? configure something in apache? or in windows?
noob is confused.

Dear friend,

give the C:\wamp\www\dissertation\images folder permissions to 0777

			@mkdir ($uploaddir,666);
			@chdir('./');
			chmod($uploaddir,666);
			chmod($_FILES[images][tmp_name][$key],0777);
			//$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['$filename']['name'];
			//$src = $uploadfile;
			copy($_FILES[images][tmp_name][$key], $uploaddir);

I am using windows. apperanlt the only chmod commands that work in windows is the 666 one (without the 0)

but its windows you shouldnt even have to do this!?

I am highly confused and frustrated. I might get rid of wamp and install php mysql and apache manually cause i remember last year I got it working at work (student placement)

Well depending on Windows OS e.g. 2000 Server etc you may need to make sure that the directory has given the user of Web usually IUSR_<name> etc has write permissions in that directory.

hi,
I just completly lost it right now. Kinda wanna take my head and run into the wall. I used the code from work deleted all sorts of code which relates to work (like add to database etc and tried file upload.. it worked!?!?!?

so i copy and paste the code into my test.php and upload.php.. doesnt work.. copy the 2 airfrance files to my working on project root and the code works and i upload files. i then copy the code into my real upload functions folder and now this code works

$userdir = $_SESSION['valid_user'];
echo $uploaddir = 'images/'.$userdir.'/';
@mkdir ($uploaddir,666);
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$src = $uploadfile;
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
    echo "done";
	}

see the thing is i tried move before and i tried folder $uploaddir = 'images/'; as well and it didnt work but now it does work..???!!!
i dont understand but hey i will code from this on. 7 hours 1 small problem.. dam!
