[RESOLVED] Submit button issues!! (nearly suicidal...)

sandbrag

Hello everyone, I am very confused. I am trying to create a submit button for the php file and keep getting the error message below, can anyone help me as I've racked my brains and can't see what I am doing wrong??? Many thanks.

PHP Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\calendar2.php on line 19 PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file(upload/teen-witch.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\calendar2.php on line 35 PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'C:\WINDOWS\Temp\php140.tmp' to 'upload/teen-witch.jpg' in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\calendar2.php on line 35

chmod($upload_path, $permissions); line 19

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],$upload_path . $filename)) line 35

The C: tells me that you are using a Windows box and I don't have any experience with Windows... but both of your error messages are related to permissions. You are attempting to (A) move a file into the uploads directory and then (😎 change the permissions on the file that you just tried to put in the uploads directory.

Apparently, PHP is not allowed to write to the uploads directory so the move_uploaded_file command is going to fail. So the file isn't getting put in that directory (that's the first error message). Then, when you try to change permissions (using the chmod command) on a file that doesn't exist, that's the second error message.

There is probably some way to grant permissions to a directory that says, "Let PHP write to this directory". Sorry I can't help you with that. Google probably knows.

The "C:\Inetpub" tells me that you're also using IIS; is this correct? If so, there is definitely a permissions issue at hand.

How much do you know about Windows permissions/ACLs/security? What you need to do is make sure that the IUSR_COMPUTERNAME account has write permissions for both the Temp directory and the uploads directory.
