Moving Remote uploaded files

Mr_Death

Hello there , how's everything is going ?
hope everything is great

this is my first post in PHPBuilder.com 🙂 (sorry for my english , it's not that good :queasy: )

i was working on a remote upload script , (personal use) and if it works , i may offer it for others 🙂

but i had a problem moving the files from the main folder to the /uploads folder

the script is all about 2 pages (index.html , upload.php)
and here is the codes

INDEX.HTML

<form action="upload.php" method="post">

<input name="fileurl" id="fileurl" size="67">

<input type="image" src="images/upload.gif" alt="Upload File"></td>

</form>

UPLOAD.PHP


<?php

$newurl=($_POST['fileurl']);

define('BUFSIZ', 4096);
$url = $newurl;
$rfile = fopen($url, 'r');
$lfile = fopen(basename($url), 'w');
while(!feof($rfile))
fwrite($lfile, fread($rfile, BUFSIZ), BUFSIZ);
fclose($rfile);
fclose($lfile);

echo '<p align="center"><b><font face="Tahoma" size="5" color="#339933">Upload Complete !</font></b></p>';
echo '<br>';
echo '<p align="center"><b><font face="Tahoma" size="3" color="#339933"><a href="index.php">Upload another file</a></font></b></p>';
?>

DIRECTORIES TREE

--[Main]
----index.html
----upload.php
----[uploads]

the script is working , but the uploaded files being saved in the [Main] Dir
and i've tried every single way to move 'em to the [uploads] Dir
but nothing works :mad:

can you help me with this please 😕
thanks in advanced

Have you tried using "uploads/<file_name>" as the file path, since that's how you would access a file in the "uploads" folder using a relative path?

Also note that your code could be simplified a lot by simply using [man]file_get_contents/man and [man]file_put_contents/man (e.g. you could reduce all of your fopen/fwrite/fclose code down to 1 line of PHP code).

Hello
thank you for your reply
but as a PHP beginner , i didn't understand most of it 🙂
i'm using this script on my host just to get direct links , i'm uploading files from other file hosting and sharing sites like (mediafire , megaupload , rapidshare)

so , can you explain with codes please , becasue i don't really know how to use those functions

thank you in advanced 🙂

The relative path has nothing to do with PHP - it's just basic filesystem knowledge. If you want to access a file called "foo.txt" in asub folder called "bar" that's in the same folder, then the relative path is simply "bar/foo.txt".

Read the manual for [man]file_get_contents/man and [man]file_put_contents/man. It explains how to use the functions and even gives coding examples.

Mr_Death

well . thanks for your reply
still didn't understand how file_get_contents() or file_put_contents() works
because i've just started learning PHP , and thank god that i know how [ echo ] works 😛
i think i'm going to stay on my old way uploading files
but i have one last question
can i use [ move_uploaded_files ] with my old way
if yes , how ??

thank you in advanced , my stupidity took a lot of your time today 🙂
