move_uploaded_file not working

lajollabob · July 16, 2008

Hello-

I could use some help and I've been pulling my hair out for a few hours on this.

I'm trying to build a page that will upload a file via HTTP. It will accept the file and move it from the tmp location that PHP stores the file and put it in a file location.

I'm using move_uploaded_file(source,destination) and it doesn't seem to be working. The file is not there and my script confirms that PHP returns FALSE when I try testing it. Is there some way I can find out what is wrong?

take note:

safe mode is off

file uploads is on

upload_tmp_dir has no value in phpinfo()

open_basedir has no value

Here is the php page followed by the form page:

uploadconfirm.php page:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

<title>File Upload Confirmation</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

$currentdir = getcwd();

$uploadfile = "/var/www/html/upload/testfile.txt";

echo '<pre>';

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {

echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";

} else {

echo "Upload could not be completed\n";

}

echo 'More info:';

print_r($_FILES);

print "</pre>";

?>

</body>

</html>

HERE is the FORM PAGE (prospect uploader):

<html>

<head>

<title>Prospect Uploader</title>

</head>

<body>

PROSPECT UPLOADER

</div>

<p><br>

<br>

</p>

<tr>

<td align="right" valign="middle">Type (or select) Filename:</td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

</form>

</div>

</body>

</html>

What does the print_r($_FILES); show?
