Help with upload code on windows

dante2010

Ok, so I have the following code:

$newFileName = $newID . "_" . $_FILES['thefile']['name']; 
$newLocation = "e:\\Home\\Domains\\qqq.com\\ROOT\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\Images\\uploads\\"; 
 $newLocation .= $newFileName; 

if ( !move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thefile'] ['tmp_name'], $newLocation) ) 
{ 
       print '<pre>'; 
       print_r( $_FILES ); 
       print '</pre>'; 
}

For some reason this won't move the image at all. It fails on the move_uploaded_file, and then just continues on w/o any warning message until the script completes.

I added in the IF with the print_r($_FILES) to see if anything was actually happening. When I do a die() after the IF I see the following:

Array
(
[thefile] => Array
(
[name] => rufus.jpg
[type] => image/pjpeg
[tmp_name] => c:\windows\temp\php\php62.tmp
[error] => 0
[size] => 12442
)

)

So to me this would mean the file is being uploaded.. for whatever reason I can't copy it from the tmp dir to another one tho.

This is on a windows system. Safemode is off. Code works fine on a *nix based system.

in this line
$newLocation = "e:\Home\Domains\qqq.com\ROOT\Inetpub\wwwroot\Images\uploads\";
the \ is being used as an escape character since the string is in double quotes. You can either use single quotes
$newLocation = 'e:\Home\Domains\qqq.com\ROOT\Inetpub\wwwroot\Images\uploads\';
or escape the slash
$newLocation = "e:\Home\Domains\qqq.com\ROOT\Inetpub\wwwroot\Images\uploads\";
or reverse the slash
$newLocation = "e:/Home/Domains/qqq.com/ROOT/Inetpub/wwwroot/Images/uploads/";

see if those alternatives work. if not double check the path is 100% correct.

$newLocation = "e:\Home\Domains\tieronehospitality.com\ROOT\Inetpub\wwwroot\Images\uploads\";

.. was how I had originally paste it in the message. I guess the code tags removed the double \.

In any case, I've tried all the variations you listed.

I've also done an is_dir() on the location I'm trying to copy to, and it returns true.

are you able to use fopen to create a new file? if so you can use file_get_contents on the tmp_file and then manually fwrite it into the new file fopen'd.
