moving from windows to unix

[Anon]

Hi!

I have been developing some scripts on a windows machine and I now moving it to a freedsb system.

Now my move_uploaded_file doesn't seem to work.

This i s the original that I used when working under windows and IIS:

move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES["banner_file"]['tmp_name'], $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."..\images\banners\".$HTTP_POST_FILES["banner_file"]['name']);

and when moving to unix I thought this would be correct:
move_uploaded_file($FILES['banner_file']['tmp_name'], $SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."../images/banners/".$HTTP_POST_FILES["banner_file"]['name']);

also... it seems that the unix machine only echoes out a path to the temp_file (Banner file: /var/tmp/phpfilW0w)

What am I doing wrong?

Well, it seems you are trying to move your files to their location by:

document root/../images/banners/filename

I'm not sure if this would be considered a valid directory call. However, it might not be the problem... It would be helpful if you could let the forum goers know what error you get when you attemp to move the temp upload file?

well... the document_root could be the problem if behaves differently on unix. it works fine on windows iis.

and for the errorreport... I don't get any!? it seems as if everything is in order. I tried checking if the move_uploaded_file returned true... and it did.
as in:

if (move_uploaded_file) {

do_stuff;

}

thanks again =)

Is the directory you are attempting to move the files into have proper user permissions to upload the files? Typically the web server runs under a different username than the one you are logging in to (meaning it won't have access to the directory for writing files there).

If you haven't already, try setting the folder permissions to 777 or 755 on the folder you are moving files to from an ftp/telnet (whatever you are using).

thanks for the suggestion, Josh, although messing with unix/linux is a bit out of my league =) Maybe contacting the admin is the only option... anyway, thanks!
