Image and getsize

[sorpippo]

Hi folks!

I have a form like this

<form enctype="multipart/form- data" action="ciao.php" method="post">
<input type="file" name="clickurl" size="50" maxlength="200">
........
</form>

and a ciao.php
..............
if(submit) {
$size = getimagesize ($clickurl); # <----- line 171
exec("cp $clickurl /usr/local/apache/htdocs/php/csir/vinsoft/images/clickurl/$clickurl");
....}

When I load ciao.php I obtain the following error

Warning: getimagesize: Unable to open '\"/usr/local/apache/htdocs/apache_pb.gif\"' for reading. in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/php/csir/vinsoft/admin/modules/ciao.php on line 171
.........

What is the problem?

Giuseppe.

Read this page. It explains how to handle/copy uploaded files.

incidentally the exact problem is that $file is the uploaded file, but with quote marks and escaped with backslashes too! php is complaining because the filename you passed to getimagesize is invalid, see it there?
