Saving Uploaded File -- Help

twistedfrog

I am trying to take files, uploaded from an HTML form and save them on my webserver. I have a folder named content_files and set the permissions to read/write/execute (security issue I know).

Unfortunately, this is not working..... does anyone have an idea? I want the files to be /content_files/content.htm and then content_files/whatevertheimagenameis.extension

Here is the code:

if ($formUpload)
{
$dir = $SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
if ($FILES['formFile']['tmp_name'])
{
$filename = $dir . "content_files/content.htm";

                                                if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['formFile']['tmp_name'], $filename))
                                                {
                                                    echo("HTM Updated Successfully.");
                                                }
                                                else{echo("moving HTM failed");}
                                            }
                                            else {echo("HTM File Upload Failed");}
                                            if ($_FILES['formPhoto']['tmp_name'])
                                            {
                                                $filename = $dir . "/content_files/" . $_FILES['formPhoto']['tmp_name'];

                                                if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['formPhoto']['tmp_name'], $filename))
                                                {
                                                    echo("Photo 1 File Updated Successfully.");
                                                }
                                                else {echo("Moving Photo 1 Failed");}
                                            }
                                            else{echo("Photo 1 File Upload Failed");}
                                        }

Ouch, that hurts the eyes...use the PHP tags to put code in here...it does help.

I bet you need to have a path relative to the root...normally when something like this doesn't work that is the problem. You could try putting a die function in there at the right spot for debugging help as well...

What do you mean by use the PHP tags?

Also, I am using a path relative to the root - hence
$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

How would a die function help debug it further than the echo messages? It is failing specifically at:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['formPhoto']['tmp_na
me'], $filename))

Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Do you see the button above the entry reply window that says PHP? There are many who won't deal with your code unless you make it less painful on our weary eyes to look at. I don't feel like trying to read it one bit right now...

So, you are using document_root...still, 9 times out of 10 the problem is in the path.

If you put a die function in there it would help you identify the problem.

Ok then, WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR ERROR MESSAGE since you haven't told us yet. And, let me guess, you aren't getting one because "it doesn't work". Hence, the need for a die function...or something...whatever...

Good luck...
