file upload not working...tried everything i can think of

[trandrus]

Have code to upload a file to a dir and nothing happens. No errors, the file simply doesn't upload. The path is correct, the dir is chmod 777, the file is less than maxfilesize. no matter what i do it always says "file was not moved":

 

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS) {

foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $field) {

	if (!$field) {

		echo "empty";

	}	
}
}

if ($_FILES) {

$target_path = "/uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

echo $target_path;

echo $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'];

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'], $target_path)) {

	echo "file was moved to ".$target_path;

}else {
	echo "file was not moved";
}
} 

?>

Where is your uploads file located? If it's in the same folder as the script that processes the form, then you need to drop that leading slash from "/uploads/".

[trandrus]

its in the same folder however i modified it on the forum post to keep the client's name anon:

 

/client/application.php (html with form)

 

/client/uploads/

 

in my code it looks like this:

 

$target_path = "/client/uploads/";

[haku]

Then it should be like this:

 

$target_path = "uploads/";

[trandrus]

tried that and i get the same "file was not moved"

 

[target_path] => uploads/test.gif

[haku]

Then your problem is somewhere else. But you can't have that leading slash there.

[haku]

I just found your problem (other than the leading slash). Its a little late here and I'm tired.

 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'], $target_path))

 

Should be

 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path))

[craygo]

you can't move the file name. it's just a name it doesn't exist. The file you move is the temp file php creates

 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'], $target_path)) {

 

Should be

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {

EDIT: LOL there must be an echo in here

[trandrus]

i see

 

[tmp_name] => /tmp/php5It6UV

 

thats the file

<?php

		echo "empty";

	}	
}
}

if ($_FILES) {

$PATH = dirname(__file__);	
$target_path = "\uploads\\";	
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);	
$fullPath =  $PATH.$target_path;	
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'],$fullPath)) 
	echo "file was moved to ".$target_path;
