client file upload button -

[390bay]

Hi there

 

I am kind of new to php, and my work has asked me to make a file upload button - that our client can go to a webpage, click on the browse button and then upload, and have it uploaded to our ftp site.

 

I have the script i think that is correct... BUT - if they use an ftp program it is fine as we set up a specific folder that they can only see when they use the login name and password ( it is a general one)

 

i am guessing that because of this user name and password - the error that we get is

 

Upload: test pic.jpg

Type: image/jpeg

Size: 108.01953125 Kb

Temp file: /tmp/phpBtbFHq

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to access customers/test pic.jpg in /home/jetlink47/domains/jetlink.ca/public_html/upload_file.php on line 22

Stored in: customers/test pic.jpg

 

is there a way that i can put in a user name and password into the php script "upload_file.php" so it will uplaod.

 

here is the file_load.php script

 

<?php

if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] > 20000)

  {

  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)

    {

    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";

    }

  else

    {

    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";

    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";

    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";

    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

 

    if (file_exists("customers/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))

      {

      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";

      }

    else

      {

      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],

      "customers/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

      echo "Stored in: " . "customers/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];

      }

    }

  }

else

  {

  echo "Invalid file";

  }

?>

 

thanks for any help

First off, please use the code tags around your php/html

[ code ]Like this but without the spaces in the tags[ /code ]

would be

Like this but without the spaces in the tags

It is much easier to read code when it is like that.

 

Secondly, move_uploaded_file() does not use FTP... it moves a temporary file (the one uploaded) from the temp folder on the server and moves it to the specified location.

In this case, you are using the relative path "customers/", if that folder does not exist, then that could be the problem. If the folder does exist, then you may have a permissions issue on the server.

---

*Does the folder "customers/" exist as a sub-folder of where file_load.php is?

*What kind of server are you using (Apache on Linux, Apache on Windows, Windows IIS, ect...)?

Sorry i am very new to this wesite and to PHP.  I am just a graphic designer trying to do a fav to the owner of my workplace.

 

the folder is there, and created, I am thinking it just does not have permission to save the file.  right now the only way for someone to upload a file is to use a ftp program and log in..

 

can I hard code the user name and password into the php upload script so it will allow it to save the file..

 

 

OR

 

Is it possible to create a php login first screen first, and when they login then they can upload the file into the folder.

 

thanks

Permissions on a FTP file are not actually PHP, but what you need to do (I think) is to use a FTP program such as FileZilla (downloaded free, you can google it), then connect to your FTP server, and right click the folder the files are being uploaded to (in this case, I think it's the customers folder?), and then click Permissions or something along the lines of that. Then set the permissions to 777, or tick all boxes. That should work.
