Cannot upload files

Here's the script:

 

   if (!isset($_POST['name_added_get']) && !isset($_POST['write_cont']) && !isset($_POST['second_method'])) {
   echo '<br><br><hr>You can also upload a page instead of making a new one. Select the file below, select its destination ';
   echo 'and press "Upload File"<br>';
echo "<form action='upload_file.php' method='post'";
echo "enctype='multipart/form-data'>";
echo "<label for='file'>Filename:</label>";
echo "<input type='file' name='file' id='file' />"; 
echo "<br /><input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='30000' /><br><input name='upload_dir' type='text' value='/' />";
echo "<input type='submit' name='upload' value='Submit' />";
echo "</form>";
   if (isset($_POST['upload'])) {//If Upload Button is Pressed
   		$upload_dir = $_POST['upload_dir'];
	   if ($_POST['upload_dir'] != '/') {
			if (substr($_POST['upload_dir'], -1) != '/' || substr($_POST['upload_dir'], 0, 1) != '/') {
				echo '<script language"text/javascript">alert("Folder Location must start and end with /");</script>';
				echo '<script type="text/javascript">window.location="newpage.php";</script>';
				exit;
			}
	   }//Correct Folder IF Ends
		if (file_exists($def_path . $_POST['upload_dir'])) {//ABC:  /home/content/f/a/b/fabis94/html
				$filepath = $def_path . $_POST['upload_dir'] . basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
				$filename = basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
				  echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
				  echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
				  echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
				  echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];

				echo 'Up dir: ' . $_POST['upload_dir'] . ' Original Basename: ' . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . 'Filepath: ' . $filepath . ' <br>';
				if (!file_exists($filepath)) {//If PHPNAME doesn't and FOLDERLOCATION exists
					if (substr($filename, -4) == '.php') {//If it is a PHP file
						if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $filepath)) {

					}
				} else {
					echo '<script language"text/javascript">alert("Page already exists in the specified directory");</script>';
					/*echo '<script type="text/javascript">window.location="newpage.php";</script>';*/
					exit;
				}//PHPNAME Exists IF ends here
		} else {
			echo '<script language"text/javascript">alert("The directory you specified doesnt exist");</script>';
			echo '<script type="text/javascript">window.location="newpage.php";</script>';
			exit;
		}//FOLDERLOCATION Exists IF ends here
   }//Upload Button IF ends
   }//Upload method ends

 

It just simpy says "Folder Location must start and end with /" in the pop-up window and also in this part:

 

					  echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
				  echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
				  echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
				  echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];

 

It shows nothing. That means it didn't upload it and something is maybe wrong with my temp upload dir, but i use GoDaddy Shared Hosting and i don't have a php.ini file on the root (so it uses the default configs) and i cannot change the directory, but i used ini_get() and found out it's /tmp

and the path to my actual site is: /home/content/f/a/b/XXXX/html/

So it is even before the 'home' directory and i cannot access that. Anyways:

 

1. There is something wrong with my script and please help me fix it :P

2. Can anyone give a php.ini file with all the default configs set so i can change them after.

I don't understand. At the beginning of my PHP script i already have:

 

$def_path = '/home/content/f/a/b/fabis94/html';

 

Also if you're talking about the location that is $upload_dir then it's the directory where the file should be uploaded (you select your file, write in the directory where it should be uploaded and press UPLOAD). And the error i mentioned before is because of this thing. Also it says "Page already exists in this directory." not the error i mentioned before (sorry). And the error happens if the directory chosen doesn't end OR/AND start with '/' or if the directory is '/' (root) it doesn't give any errors. But it does!

 

Also here is the WHOLE script (i gave u the uploading part only, but this part has also MAKING a new php file not uploading it) maybe something is interfering with something.

Don't mind the different domain names they are all the same in the real script.

 

*Ooops sorry for double post. Mistook modify with Quote.

 

Also the error happens if (!file_exists($filepath)) and $filepath is $filepath = $def_path . $_POST['upload_dir'] . basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);

 

But as it later says at "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] Upload: (nothing)

That means it didn't even get the file. Also i added echo "Errors(?): " . $_FILES["file"]["error"]; and it returned nothing too.
