[I can't upload an image]

Thank you very much everything works now. I had uploads set to on. But i was able to see the error message thanks to you explaining how to do that and it said that I was trying to upload the file to "" (an empty string.) ???

I ended up changing the path variable from

[code]$upfile = '/images/'.$_FILES['image']['name'];[/code]

to

[code]$upfile = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/images/'.$_FILES['image']['name'];[/code]

and it worked.

So I don't really know exactly what my problem was, but it works now. Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.

[I can't upload an image]

Ok, so here is the latest version I have that isn't working:



html form:

[code]<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="upload.php" METHOD="post" name="upload" id="upload">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="MAX_FILE_SIZE" VALUE="2000000">


<B>Image:</B><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="file" id="image" name="image" VALUE="" SIZE="60" MAXLENGTH="100"><BR>
<BR>
<BR>

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Upload Image">
</FORM>[/code]


upload.php:





[code]




$error = '';

//test for error
if ($_FILES['image']['error'] > 0) {
  switch ($_FILES['image']['error']) {
    case 1: $error = 'Error[1]: Size exeeded maximum file size allowed.<BR><BR><BR>';
    case 2: $error = 'Error[2]: Size exeeded maximum file size allowed.<BR><BR><BR>';
    case 3: $error = 'Error[3]: File only partially uploaded<BR><BR><BR>';
    case 4: $error = 'Error[4]: No file uploaded<BR><BR><BR>';
  }
}

if ($error == '') {
  $upfile = '/images/'.$_FILES['image']['name'];
  if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'])) {
    if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $upfile)) {
       $error = 'Error: Couldn\'t move file to destination directory<BR><BR><BR>';
    }
  }else{
    $error = 'Error: Image not uploaded';
  }
}

if ($error == '') {

  echo '<IMG SRC="'.$DOCUMENT_ROOT.'/images/'.$_FILES['file']['name'].'"><BR>';
  echo "<B>FILE UPLOADED:</B><BR><BR><HR><I>\"$_FILES['file']['name']\" successfully uploaded<BR></I><HR><BR><BR>\n";
  echo '<A HREF="eventimages.php">Add Another Image</A><BR>';


}else{
  echo $error;
}




[/code]








Does the directory exist?
yes

Have you set the correct directory permissions?
I chmodded the images dir 777

Did you read my other post of the link provided?
yeah, see below

Have you checked php.ini settings?
Ummm, How do I go about doing that? I was thinking maybe I might have allow upload set to false. I don't know I didn't setup php. I'm using cPanel if that means anything.. it already has everything installed on it, and I don't even know how to access the php.ini file. I don't even know if I can. ???

What server are you using?
linux

What version of PHP are you using?
4.4.1

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Check $_FILES['imagefile']['error'] to see if there's a problem first. You could check and use is_uploaded_file() before using move_uploaded_file() (why copy?).[/quote]

Same thing happens with move_uploaded_file(). copy just happened to be what I was trying to use when I gave up.

And I checked. there aren't any errors. My old code I was using contained this:

[code]if ($_FILES['imagefile']['error'] > 0) {  continue with code... }[/code]

and

[code]if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'])) {  continue with code... }[/code]



[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]have u tried to assign a variable for "files/".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'] ?[/quote]

I just did that. It didn't work.




[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]You have to be very careful when allowing uploading of files for security reasons.[/quote]


Yeah, I know. I had a lot more code than just that line. But I determined that it was the phase where I copy the image to a new location that it fails, so I just posted that line.

[I can't upload an image]

I need help. Why doesn't this work?


[code]copy($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'], "files/".$_FILES['imagefile']['name']) or die ("Could not copy"); [/code]

I'm trying to upload images and this line NEVER works.
