Problem Sending Info Via Web

[Hazel]

Hello,

 

I tried to make a form that uploaded files (sp. JPg and GIf), but there were many errors:

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(file_name.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /path of the archive that uploads the fileon line X.

 

I thought that it could be a problem of permissions of some file, but I don´t know where is the folder where the uploaded files are, so, I can`t change the permissions of that "unknown" folder

 

Has anyone any idea about it?

 

The code I used to make this form is this:

 

1) upfile.html

 

 

(...)

<form action="upfile2.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

<b>Text:b>

<br>

<input type="text" name="cadenatexto" size="20" maxlength="100">

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000">

<br>

<br>

<b>Send a new file: </b>

<br>

<input name="userfile" type="file">

<br>

<input type="submit" value="Enviar">

</form>

 

 

1) upfile2.php

 

 

 

<?

 

$cadenatexto = $_POST["cadenatexto"];

echo "You wrote in the text string: " . $cadenatexto . "<br><br>";

 

 

$nombre_archivo = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'];

$tipo_archivo = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['type'];

$tamano_archivo = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size'];

 

if (!((strpos($tipo_archivo, "gif") || strpos($tipo_archivo, "jpeg")) && ($tamano_archivo < 100000))) {

echo "The file size is not correct. <br><br><table><tr><td><td></tr></table>";

}else{

if (move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $nombre_archivo)){

echo "The file has been uploaded successfully.";

}else{

echo "Error!! .";

}

}

?>

 

 

 

Well, I need help...Pliz

I am not too familiar with this so hang on and we should see an answer soon.

I had some trouble trying to do something like that. Turns out it's an ownership thing.

 

You own the folders on your site, but PHP isn't you. I think it's identified as 'nobody'.

 

If you make a folder, say Images, using cPanel File Manager, and set permissions to 777, then have your script move the uploaded files to Images it should work.

 

The relevant line in your script:

if (move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $nombre_archivo)){

would be

if (move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], 'Images/'.$nombre_archivo)){

 

Perhaps not the most articulate answer, but it worked for me. If it's unclear, keep asking and I'll try to explain further.

I tried to do the same you did, but... It does not work. The problem is that I dont know the path of the temporary directory.

 

I mean, all webs are in public_html. Ok, if I had a carpet inside 'public_html' called 'my_web'...

 

What should I do? Should I create a directory called 'sent_files' in /public_html/my_web, or I should create it in public_html only?

I looked again at my script, and it uses copy() instead of move_uploaded_file(). Maybe the move..() is getting the error when your script tries to delete the temporary file?

 

Here's my code:

if (@is_uploaded_file($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"])) {

    copy($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"], "gallery" . $_FILES["userfile"]["name"]);

    echo "<p>".$_FILES["userfile"]["name"]." uploaded successfully.</p>";

  }

 

I think the temporary files are thrown away when the session ends, so copy should be sufficient.
