[SOLVED] destination directory

[AceOfJames]

I want this file upload script to upload a file to a directory outside of the directory that the upload script is in.

 

Where in this code would I put the path to the destination directory?

 

<?php

  // Edit upload location here

  $destination_path = getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

 

  $result = 0;

 

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

 

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

      $result = 1;

  }

 

  sleep(1);

?>

 

Thank you in advance!

I saw that but what is the syntax to change that part of the script?

 

I want to put the uploaded file in  ../images (relative to where the script is)

 

How would I define that?

 

Thanks!

I always use an absolute address which never gives me issues

 

my path

 

<?php
$tmp_name = "Example.txt";
$upload_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/uploads/".$tmp_name;
?>

 

So ideally $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is my www folder so to speak of.

Thanks for the reply cooldude...

 

How does that work with how the destination path is already defined?

 

$destination_path = getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

<?php
$destination_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/SUBFOLDER HERE/".$filename;

Second scope question of the night.

 

When in doubt go absolute the $_SERVER array is very useful in a lot of cases.

 

If you have a chance make a file that just has

 

<?php
print_r($_SERVER);
?>

 

and then in firefox view its source and look at all the goodies in there you will be shocked.
