File upload help

[pblancher]

I grabbed this code of the net. Just trying to do a simple file upload via form.

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2048000">
File: <input name="userfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

<?php
if (@is_uploaded_file($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"])) {
copy($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"], "/images/" . $_FILES["userfile"]["name"]);
echo "<p>File uploaded successfully.</p>";
}
?>

The "file uploaded successfully" message gets displayed however the file does not get placed on the server. I chmod the directory images to 777 and still no joy. Any help?

the problem is most likely the destination in copy. the "/images" is trying to copy to the root of the server, on windows C:/windows or unix /images. You will want to make it a relative path "./images/" or use a full path like "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/images" or "/home/user/www/images"

I changed the path to "./images/" and tried it. Still no file.
Changed the path to the full path after doing a pwd command on the server. No dice. Did a grep search for the file, could not find it.

Any other thoughts?

well make sure a folder images exists in the same folder that the script running is in. copy returns true or false so you can try seeing if it fails or not.
