Upload File

[msdan]

Hi,

 

I have an account with totalchoicehosting and I'm trying to write a php photo gallery.

 

I want to let the site members to create their galleries by uploading their pictures in a folder named after their account name (). So the problem is to create a new folder through script and give write permissions for this folder. I tried to use chmod for changing the permissions, but I'm getting this error:

 

<b>Warning</b>: chmod(): Operation not permitted in <b>/home/.../public_html/image.php</b> on line <b>...</b><br />

<br />

 

This is the first problem (dynamically setting permission for a new folder).

 

Another problem: I wrote an upload module and I'm getting this error this time:

 

Warning: mkdir(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/images): Permission denied in /home/.../public_html/test.php on line 99

Error: Directory does not exist and was unable to be created.

 

even I changed permissions for the folder.

 

Thanks for your responses.

Why not try one of the already made galleries like ht*p://coppermine.sourceforge.net/ or ht*p://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=index to name a few?

Even if I'm gonna use a free php module I will not get it working; because the problem seems to be the permissions on the uploading folder.

Are you usinf cpanels file manager?

I have had mixed results with it

and now just use an ftp program to change permissions.

Thank you guys,

 

I figured out the all thing:

 

I changed permissions through cpanel for my "parent" folder and when I am uploadingthe picture, I'm building in the same time the new folder with writing permissions and then saving the picture right there. It's working.

 

><form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>" method="post"> 
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2048000"> 
File: <input name="userfile" type="file" /><br /> 
<input type="submit" value="Upload" /> 
</form> 

<?php 
if (@is_uploaded_file($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"])) { 
      mkdir("images/gallery/dir1", 0777);
       copy($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"], "images/gallery/dir1/" . $_FILES["userfile"]["name"]); 
       echo "<p>File uploaded successfully.</p>"; 
} 
?>

 

... so first I modified permissions with cpanel for gallery folder and the all the new folders I'm creating them with 0777 parameter.
