Upload Question

treeleaf20

I have a script that creates a folder for every new user that registers for my site. The problem is I would like to automatically upload a file to the newly created folder.
The script I have is:

$uploaddir = "/home/website/public_html/groups/images/$groupid/";
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);

//echo '<pre>';
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
   //echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
   echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}

If the files is located at /home/website/public_html/groups/images/ and is called no_pic.gif how can I upload that to the folder: /home/website/public_html/groups/images/$groupid

So basically the file is already on the webserver and I would like to copy it from one directory to another directory upon creation of the users folder.

Any ideas?

not sure if this helps but I just got my upload working and the problem was a combination of the open_basedir restriction and my upload path.

My upload path is one folder below from where the script resides so the path was "images/filename.xxx". The full path would would look more like yours "root/classified/images/image.xxx". Try making you path relative to the folder where the script resides "../dir/dir/image.xxx" for folders above the script and "images/image.xxx" for below.

Hope this helps.

Would something like this work:

$uploaddir = "/home/website/public_html/groups/images/$groupid/"; 
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . "no_pic.gif"); 

//echo '<pre>'; 
if (move_uploaded_file("no_pic.gif", $uploadfile)) { 
   //echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n"; 
} else { 
   echo "Possible file upload attack!\n"; 
}

That was just a guess since no one is uploading the picture I removed the $_FILES variables and am just trying to grab the directory where the file currently sits and copy/upload it to the new directory $uploaddir in this case?

The current file sits in the groups/images folder but I want to copy the no_pic.gif to the groups/images/$groupid folder.

I think that would get the file to the right destination but I'm not specifying where to get the file at? Any ideas how to incorporate this all together?
