File Upload temp file problems.

[Anon]

I've written a PHP page which works fine with PHP4 on Win95. I've now uploaded to my linux based system, which also runs PHP4.

The problem is that I've got two upload boxes in a form:

<form method=post action=$PHP_SELF?action=saveitem>
<input type=file name=pic[] value="">
<input type=file name=pic[] value="">

etc

then, it is dealt with with this code:

$bop=$pic[0];
$sop=$pic[1];
$bp=basename($pic[0]);
$sp=basename($pic[1]);
$path=dirname("$DOCUMENT_ROOT$PHP_SELF");
$bigsubpath="/pics/big/";
$smallsubpath="/pics/small/";
//echo "$bop, $path$bigsubpath$bp";
copy($bop, "$path$bigsubpath$bp");
copy($sop, "$path$smallsubpath$sp");

But I get the following error:

Warning: Unable to open 'C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\finished kennedy\pics\landscapes\4.gif' for reading:

Any suggestions - I assume I've done something stupid, but it worked under Win95.

I'm confused--you say the problem is happening on
your Linux system, but the error message refers
to a windows-style path.

The path it quotes in the error message is the path that the file existed on the local machine.

I think your missing your enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute from the form tag. Although I am not sure why it would work on your local machine. I do know that you have to have that in there though

Thanks.

That has (I think) solved the problem, but highlighted a few other bits of error handling I need to add.

Thank you all very much

I have the samen error message (I work with Apache on Win98SE with PHP3 en MySQL).

Error messages are:
Warning: Unable to open '\php2' for reading: Unknown error in ../include/upload.inc on line 7

Warning: Unlink failed (No such file or directory) in ../include/upload.inc on line 8

So you say it should work on Linux but not on Windows?
