Problem with PHP upload script

[Jack_Hardcore]

Hello,
I have a problem with a simple PHP upload script on the following page:

http://www.pixelrite.co.uk/contact.html

The error in http://www.pixelrite.co.uk/upload_file.php is the following:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/pixelriteuk/public_html//uploads/Murray.JPG) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/pixelriteuk/public_html/upload_file.php on line 31

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/home/pixelriteuk/public_html/tmp/phpVIGPht' to '/home/pixelriteuk/public_html//uploads/Murray.JPG' in /home/pixelriteuk/public_html/upload_file.php on line 31

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/pixelriteuk/public_html/upload_file.php:31) in /home/pixelriteuk/public_html/upload_file.php on line 32

Not sure what on earth could be causing this, the code for the upload_file.php is as follows and as far as I can see it's fine?

<?php

$uploadDir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/uploads/';

$MaxUploadFileSize = 50000000;



if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/bmp")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/tif")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/tiff")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/psd")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))

&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < $MaxUploadFileSize))

{

if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < $MaxUploadFileSize)

{  

	if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)

	{

		echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";

	}

	else

	{



		if (file_exists($uploadDir . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))

		{

			echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";

		}

		else

		{

			move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $uploadDir . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

			header( 'Location: [url]http://www.pixelrite.co.uk/contact.html?success=yes[/url]' ) ;

		}

	}

}

else

{

echo "Invalid file size. Maximum file upload size is " . $MaxUploadFileSize / 1000000 . " Megabytes.";

}

}

else

{

echo "Invalid file. Supported file types are GIF / JPEG / BMP / TIF / TIFF / PNG / JPEG / PJPEG / PSD";

}

?> [/SIZE]

I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could shed any light, I'm a complete novice when it comes to PHP and this has me well and truely stumped!

Thanks in advance! 🙂

• Permission denied -

set the permittion of your upload folder, set the highest 0777 value, if its working then set lower and lower while its uploding your file. This setting could be different on different servers, you should ask the server vendor.

Notice that this error:

/home/pixelriteuk/public_html//uploads/Murray.JPG

it has double slash sign. Print the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to know how your document root variable looks like, if the last character is a slash, then do this:

change this line:

$uploadDir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/uploads/';

into:

$uploadDir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'uploads/';

While you're testing set to inactive the header(location) redirection. On a live system its suggested to hide the error reporting!

Thanks for the reply!

That worked, I set the "uploads" folder permissions to 777 and the foles now appear in the correct folder.

This has caused a different problem though, I cannot download any of the files via FTP when the folder permissions are set to 777, I can when the folder permissions are 775.

Any ideas?

Thanks! 🙂

The error in Dreamweaver is as follows

/uploads/MCP & MCDST.jpg - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot get MCP & MCDST.jpg. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.

File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.

Can you not edit posts on this forum?

On further investigation it seems anything uploaded using the above php script ends up with 600 permissions and this is why i cannot download any of it over FTP, is there some way I can include something within my php_upload page to automatically set the permissions differently?

Thanks!

1th 777
2th 776
3th 775
4th 774
...

lets check these settings, when you can download, and can upload then the project has done.

Thanks again for the reply.

Unfortunately it makes no difference, still every file that I upload ends up with 600 permissions.

I can delete the file through my FTP client, I can rename the file through the FTP client I just cannot download the file?

I'm lost 😕

try to set 744 on the upload folder, and i know ftp clients which can set the rights on recursive on the whole files in that folder.

on my hosts admin panel, there is fix permittions on files and folders button.

there is chmod() in php to set te uploaded files's rights.
