Uploading Files Via Http Using A Php Script

[mangarevolution]

Hello everyone! I'm new here. Just moved to TCH from Omnis.crap Rock Sign anyhow, one of my scripts that use to work won't work any more. This is the line that's having the error:

copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['name']['tmp_name'], "directory/file.jpg");

 

I also tried this with no luck:

move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['name']['tmp_name'], "directory/file.jpg");

 

Can anyone help me out? I keep getting the permission denied error. It's really boggling me!

Thanks in advance!

First thing is did you make sure that the directory you are uploading to has the permissions set to 777

Chmod 777 is read write and execute permissions and is needed if users are to upload files.

here is a link that I was having problems with as well

Welcome to the family, mangarevolution!

 

That is correct. The folder you are uploading to must have 777 permissions for you to write your files.

And thank you for the warm welcome TCH-Bruce. I'm gonna love it here.

By the way, $HTTP_POST_FILES is deprecated, you should use $_POST instead

[mangarevolution]

Thanks for the kind welcomes everyone. I'm really loveing it here. You all know how to make a person feel welcome.

 

By the way, $HTTP_POST_FILES is deprecated, you should use $_POST instead

 

Raul, do you (or anyone else) know when this deprication will be fully implemented? I've got a lot of code to update, and want to know how urgent it might be.

 

come to think of it, my cookie arrays haven't been working either. I bet they changed that as well. maybe it's just $_COOKIE now? haha. Guess I'll check on that.

[TCH-Bruce]

$_COOKIE is correct.

[mangarevolution]

thanks!

I'm gonna start replacing that right now.

 

darn I hope it works...

[borfast]

I have no idea when it will be fully implemented.

I'd say it will work throughout all the 4.x series, or at least through the 4.3.x series.

 

Does anyone know if PHP 5 still supports the old style global variables, like $HTTP_SERVER_VARS?

 

Anyway, you could use some kind of editor or even a tool made specifically for this, to search and replace each and every $HTTP_SERVER_VARS by $_SERVER, etc

[surefire]

Raul,

 

I think the variable they should be using is $_FILES

 

From php website:

 

$_FILES

 

    Variables provided to the script via HTTP post file uploads. Analogous to the old $HTTP_POST_FILES array (which is still available, but deprecated). See POST method uploads for more information.

[borfast]

You're right, Jack.

 

I used server_vars as an example and then just used it again but yes, the variable they should be using is $_FILES.

 

Thanks for noticing it
