PHP - Move_Uploaded File Error

[Heero]

Hello all,

I am running this code on my [url=http://202.71.227.137/rehab/CMS/cmsadmin/move_uploaded_file.php]server[/url]:

[CODE]
<?php
include("phpincludes/userSessionCheck.php");

if (!isset($_REQUEST["seenform"])) {
?>
  <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="move_uploaded_file.php" method="post">
  Upload file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
  <input type="submit" value="Upload">
  <input type="hidden" name="seenform">
  </form>
<?php
} else {
  $uploaded_dir = "/upload/";
  $filename = $_FILES["userfile"]["name"];
  $path = $uploaded_dir . $filename;

  print "Temporary name: " . $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] . "<br>";
  print "Original name: $filename<br>";
  print "Destination: $path<br>";

  if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"], $path)) {
      print "Uploaded file moved";
      // do something with the file here
  } else {
      print "Move failed";
  }
}

?>
[/CODE]

But I keep getting an move error.

What can possible be creating this problem?

[BillyBoB]

do u have the folder that u want to move it too set to 777
if not u need to CHMOD that folder to 777

[Heero]

COol that fixed the problem.  But isn't it dangerous to set it to complete modification for the folder (ie. 777)?

[BillyBoB]

um somtimes but not if your just setting it to one folder that doesnt have anything in it

[Heero]

Oh okay...just curious...why would I even set a folder to full permissions if I won't anything in it?

[legohead6]

thats why uploads should always go in thier own folder(or series of folders) and NEVER in ur main directory!

be also carefull the correct form format is as follows.

notice the upper case letters and words .


<!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below -->
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="__URL__" method="POST">
    <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field -->
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
    <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array -->
    Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
    <input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>
