[RESOLVED] Warning: move_uploaded_file(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.

[Jason_Batten]

Well, yah got to love that error 😃

Okay my situation. I have safe_mode on and safe_mode_gid on. They can not be changed. My script uploads and image, creates a directory to place that image in based on an id. Here is part of the script:

	$id = $_POST['id'];
	//check if directory exists if not create it
	$dir = "../photos/$id/";
	$check = is_dir($dir);
	if($check == FALSE)
	{
		$old_umask = umask(0);
		mkdir("$dir", 0777) or die('could not create directory');
		umask($old_umask);
	}

Now I don't get this UID, GID stuff... been shuffling through the manual for hours and telling my friend on MSN of my troubles but I haven't come up with much. I am sure it is just "one of those things" :bemused:

Is this a can do or a can't do situation? has safe mode gotten the better of me? What about FTP functions?

I don't really understand why I get the "Warning: move_uploaded_file(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect." error so even if I knew why... that'd be a great help. Please someone help me makes sense of this error 🙁

Remmington Steel is on now so, I'll be back... with a coffee! 😃

Well, one show, a few coffees and a nap later I fixed it.

Thanks to this post: http://forums.devshed.com/archive/t-248175/ftpmkdir-and-setting-permissions-to-777 I was able to set the permissions correctly in FTP.

	//check if directory exists if not create it
	$dir = "../folder/$id/";
	$check = is_dir($dir);
	if($check == FALSE)
	{
		if(ini_get('safe_mode') == 'Off')
		{	
			$old_umask = umask(0);
			mkdir("$dir", 0777) or die('could not create directory');
			umask($old_umask);
		}
		else
		{
			$connect = ftp_connect('ftp.server.com') or die('<p>Connection to FTP failed.</p>');
			$login = ftp_login($connect, 'username', 'password') or die('<p>Could not login to FTP.</p>');
			$changeDir = ftp_chdir($connect, 'directory/folder/') or die('<p>Could not change directory.</p>');
			$makeDir = ftp_mkdir($connect, "$id") or die('<p>Could not created directory.</p>');
			$old_umask = umask(0);
			$setPerm = ftp_site($connect, "CHMOD 0777 ../folder/$id/") or die('<p>Could not set permissions.</p>');
			umask($old_umask);
ftp_close($connect);
		}
	}

I hope this code helps someone else on shared hosting with Safe Mode woes.
