Cannot move uploaded files

lesergi

Hi all!

In a page I'm doing, I have a form with a file input. When I submit a file through form I can't use move_uploaded_file($FILE['image']['tmp_name'], "images/".$FILE['image']['name']) nor rename($FILE['image']['tmp_name'], "images/".$FILE['image']['name']), they always return false. But I can do it in my local server.

I tried to check if file is really uploaded. I check it with file_exists($FILE['image']['tmp_name']) and is_uploaded_file($FILE['image']['tmp_name']) and both return true.

I think is a permission problem, how can I solve this?

Thanks a lot!

I noticed that your destination path under move_uploaded_file is "images/". Are you sure that the upload script is in the same folder as the images folder? A realpath("images"); in your upload script will tell you were the images folder is with respect to your upload script. Note: it may be pointing to a images folder that doesn't exist if your upload script is in another folder. I'd suggest using an absolute path.

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images'

Another suggestion is to turn on warning messages. Also, you have access to upload errors.

Force PHP errors:

<?php ini_set('display_errors','1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors','1');
error_reporting (E_ALL);?>

Hi!

Thanks for replying!

I tried what you said but I get any error or warning, it seems server does not accept ini_set function.

Is there any thing more I can do?

Thanks!

Make sure the target folder has write permission for all (777 in Linux/UNIX) and see if that makes a difference.

Yes, you can still look for errors in the $_FILE array to pinpoint. That is not dependent on any kind of ini change. I still think your path may be wrong. Anyways follow the "upload errors" link in my first post.

Also try pasting the exact PHP error message to us so we at least know how to try and help you.
