move_uploaded_file warning

[tecmeister]

Hi every one,

 

I have been creating a form to upload data and images for a news page.  But it seems to be having a problem moving the image to the folder that I have select.

 

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(me.png) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/cxgsyste/public_html/test/add.php on line 30

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpJSOKwU' to 'me.png' in /home/cxgsyste/public_html/test/add.php on line 30

 

Here is the script.

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. '?insert_tech_news=' ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
                	Title:<br />
                	<input type="text" name="title" style=" width: 99%" />
                    <br /><br />
                    
                    Info:<br />
                    <textarea name="info" rows="10" cols="80"></textarea>
                    <br /><br />
                    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000" />
                    Upload Image:<br />
                    <input type="file" name="userfile" />
                    <br /><br />
                    <input type="submit" value="Add Tech News" name="tech" />
                    </form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['tech'])){
	$title = $_POST['title'];
	$info = $_POST['info'];
	$date = date("L jS F Y h:i:s");

	$upload_dir = "new_tech/";
	$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
	$tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
	$fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];
	$fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];
	$filePath = $uploadDir . $fileName;

	$result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);
	if(!result){
		echo "Upload Error";
		exit();
	}

	if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
		$fileName = addslashes($fileName);
		$filePath = addslashes($filePath);
	}

	$query = "INSERT INTO tech(title, info, date, name, size, type, path)
			VALUES ('$title','$info','$date','$fileName','$fileSize','$fileType','$filePath')";
	$result = mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error());
}
?>

 

Thanks for your help,

Have you set write permissions on the directory where the files will be moved to?

[tecmeister]

Sorry I have just learnt that off a tutorial.  It worked on the WAMP server.  But When I put if on to a web server it came up with that warning.

 

Please will you be able to point me in the right direct of what I sould be doing.

 

Thanks for your help Neil,

You need to change the directory permissions on the folder where the files are saved to i.e. new_tech/ (as in your script). Allow write permissions 777

Hi Neil,

 

i have change the permission of the directory but it is still iving me the same warning.  Is there something that I have missed?

As your error clearly states:

failed to open stream: Permission denied

 

Either you have not set the path to the folder correctly in the script, the folder has the wrong ownership i.e it should not be owned by root, and or the permissions on the folder are incorrect.
