problem uploading image

[vinpkl]

hi all

 

i am uploading an image and getting the below error

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(../graphics/home_bigad2.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: 

Permission denied in /home/gads/public_html/vineet/adminpaji/add_special_offer.php on line 12

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpXjKkp7' to 

'../graphics/home_bigad2.jpg' in /home/gads/public_html/vineet/adminpaji/add_special_offer.php on line 12

 

This is my php code

<?php require_once("../config.php");

$msg="";

if(isset($_REQUEST['submit']))
{
$loc=$_REQUEST['offer_loc'];
$path=$_FILES['offer_image']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['offer_image']['tmp_name'], "../graphics/" . $_FILES['offer_image']['name']);


$qry="insert into special_offers(location,offer_image) values('$loc', '$path')";

if(mysql_query($qry))
$msg="Offer Inserted successfully";
else
$msg="Error Inserting Offer";
}

?>

Sounds like you don't have the correct permissions. Look into chmod() .. or you can do it through your FTP program (most of the time)..

what os are you using? chmod command changes files permissions in linux, dno about windows.

Through your FTP program, right click on the directory the images are to be uploaded to, click on "Properties".

 

Change the setting to 777 where all 3 boxes in each column are checked. This will allow php to create files in different directories.

hi premiso

WS_FTP, from what I remember, was pretty bad software. I tend to stick with SmartFTP or FireFTP, I do not like FireFTP too much since it is buggy, but the free version of SmartFTP is great.

 

The option in WS_FTP you want is "chmod(unix)" and change that to 0777

If you want to. That is just my FTP preference. But the above will work for you in WS_FTP. I just dislike WS_FTP because back in the day it would mess up file uploads and combine them etc. I could never get it to act right.

hi premiso

 

before changing the permission i would like to ask that is it a secure solution.

 

will changing the permission harm my mywebsite server security.

If you are on a shared, potentially, if you are on dedicated doubtful.

 

The only other option is to try to use the chmod function in php to change the folder permission for upload than change them back after upload.

hi premiso

 

yes i m on shared hosting and i dont want to take risk.

 

if you have used chmod() in your projects then can u explain how to use. here is my code

<?php require_once("../config.php");

$msg="";

if(isset($_REQUEST['submit']))
{
$loc=$_REQUEST['offer_loc'];
$path=$_FILES['offer_image']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['offer_image']['tmp_name'], "../graphics/" . $_FILES['offer_image']['name']);


$qry="insert into special_offers(location,offer_image) values('$loc', '$path')";

if(mysql_query($qry))
$msg="Offer Inserted successfully";
else
$msg="Error Inserting Offer";
}

?>

Operation not permitted means you cannot use CHMOD through the script, you have to do it through the FTP program if you want this functionality and it will have to stay at 0777.
