[SOLVED] Help with move_uploaded_file

[rondog]

I cant seem to get the files pushed up to the server through my form. My folder permissions are 755 for the mp3s and thumbnails folder. It is returning it is moving them successfully yet I do not see them.

if(isset($_POST['add']))
{
$lastPosition = mysql_query("SELECT position from $table ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($lastPosition);
$newPosition = (int)$row['position'] + 1;
$title = addslashes($_POST['title']);
$thumbnail = $_FILES['thumbnail']['name'];
$mp3 = $_FILES['mp3']['name'];

$thumbnailPathUL = "../../".$thumbnailPath;
$mp3PathUL = "../../".$mp3Path;
$move1 = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thumbnail']['tmp_name'], $thumbnailPathUL);
$move2 = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['mp3']['tmp_name'], $mp3PathUL);
if($move1 && $move2)
{
	$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO $table (position,title,src,thumbnail,type) VALUES ('$newPosition','$title','$mp3Path$mp3','$thumbnailPath$thumbnail','mp3')") or die(mysql_error());
	$status = "MP3 Successfully added!";
}
}

755 will not give the Apache user write permissions to the directories.

[rondog]

So does it HAVE to be 777?

[rondog]

well I changed the dirs to 777 and it still doesnt work

[trq]

Where is $thumbnailPath defined?

[rondog]

it is defined in a file called config.php located at mediamanager/config.php

 

and they are just this:

 

$thumbnailPath = "thumbnails";

$mp3Path = "mp3s";

 

 

sooo esentially it is:

 

'../../thumbnails'

 

and

 

'../../mp3s'

 

The reason I have two up levels is because my actual form is in mediamanager/inc/mp3.php

[rondog]

any ideas?

[rondog]

Can anybody see what the problem is?? My paths are correct in relation to the location of the form. I am even getting a success message yet no files are being put into the folder.

 

My form is at:

 

mediamanager/inc/mp3.php

 

I am uploading to:

 

thumbnails (../../thumbnails)

and

mp3s (../../mp3s)

 

both folders have 777 permissions...

[rondog]

alright my new topic got deleted...I guess I can try with my 4th reply with no help in this thread.

 

I've tried directory "../thumbnails" & "../mp3s" as well as my above post. They both have the same results.

try this update

$thumbnailPathUL = dirname(__FILE__)."../../".$thumbnailPath;
$mp3PathUL = dirname(__FILE__)."../../".$mp3Path;

I am getting these errors when I try what you gave me:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/homepages/26/d220262095/htdocs/flashden/mp3player/mediamanager/inc../thumbnails) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/26/d220262095/htdocs/flashden/mp3player/mediamanager/inc/mp3.php on line 15

I changed it from ../../ to just ../ because on the mp3.php is just an include of manager.php so I really only need to go up one directory.

[MadTechie]

for the path

/homepages/26/d220262095/htdocs/flashden/mp3player/mediamanager/thumbnails

use

$thumbnailPathUL = dirname(__FILE__)."/../".$thumbnailPath;
$mp3PathUL = dirname(__FILE__)."/../".$mp3Path;

 

start and end with /'s

[rondog]

ok the error went away. It still didn't upload the files though and I actually need to get to:

 

/homepages/26/d220262095/htdocs/flashden/mp3player/thumbnails

 

My form exists on:

/homepages/26/d220262095/htdocs/flashden/mp3player/mediamanager/manage.php (manage.php includes inc/mp3.php which is the actual form)

 

EDIT:: I just found two files in my mediamanager folder called 'thumbnails' and 'mp3s'..they dont have extensions though. These appear to be the files except they are the wrong names and are in the wrong folder

[rondog]

hah! I figured it out! I wasnt adding the filename to the path! HEre is the working code:

if(isset($_POST['add']))
{
	$lastPosition = mysql_query("SELECT position from $table ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());
	$row = mysql_fetch_array($lastPosition);
	$newPosition = (int)$row['position'] + 1;
	$title = addslashes($_POST['title']);
	$thumbnail = strtolower( str_replace( " ", "_", basename( $_FILES['thumbnail']['name'] ) ) );
	$mp3 = strtolower( str_replace( " ", "_", basename( $_FILES['mp3']['name'] ) ) );

	$thumbnailPathUL = "../thumbnails/".$thumbnail;
	$mp3PathUL = "../mp3s/".$mp3;
	$move1 = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thumbnail']['tmp_name'], $thumbnailPathUL);
	$move2 = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['mp3']['tmp_name'], $mp3PathUL);
	if($move1 && $move2)
	{
		$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO $table (position,title,src,thumbnail,type) VALUES ('$newPosition','$title','$mp3Path$mp3','$thumbnailPath$thumbnail','mp3')") or die(mysql_error());
		$status = "MP3 Successfully added!";
	}

EDIT: lol close to mine

 

for the path

/homepages/26/d220262095/htdocs/flashden/mp3player/thumbnails

use

 

$thumbnailPathUL = dirname(__FILE__)."/../../".$thumbnailPath;
$mp3PathUL = dirname(__FILE__)."/../../".$mp3Path;

//ALSO
$move1 = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thumbnail']['tmp_name'], $thumbnailPathUL.."/$thumbnail");

$move2 = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['mp3']['tmp_name'], $mp3PathUL."/$mp3");
