[SOLVED] Sub-domain upload file to TLD

[Mr.Shawn]

Hello all,

 

I would like to ask if I can upload files to a folder in the TLD (top-level domain) from which I access the PHP file from sub-domain.

 

Example:

http://something.yourdomain.com/upload.php to store files in http://yourdomain.com/files/

I guess it depends on how your site is set up. But I would imagine that you could use the absolute server path to denote where you want files to live.

 

if you echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] you will get the path like

 

/server/homepages/d150919797/htdocs/name_of_web_root

 

you just need to determine where each site lives and use the proper path.

/home/myaccount/files is the folder that I would like to store files in while the sub-domain actually points to /home/myaccount/something/

 

So just by using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] would let me do what I wanted?

[chronister]

No, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] will give you the root of where the site lives. I gave that as a way to get the path that you want.

 

If you wish to upload the files in /home/myaccount/files, then just point the move_uploaded_files destination to that. I believe that will work. If that does not work, then you can do FTP through PHP. I have done this before when uploading files between TLD and Sub-Domain.

 

Hope this helps a bit.

[Mr.Shawn]

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] would help in a sub-domain situation. I should have thought of that.

 

Thank you so much.
