[SOLVED] Image Upload Help (HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections)

[NickG21]

Hey everyone,

    I believe I'm aware of what the problem is and why im getting this error.  I read in other places online that it's because you can't write to an HTML URL directly and I understand that.  My question is how do I reference this upload to a different director containing the /images/ folder that i want them to be stored in.  Here is the error followed by my code for the upload and directory structure.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to look at this.

Error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(http://www.yourlifeoutdoors.com/images/yourlife_logo_v1.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections in /home/alloutd1/public_html/admin/insertproduct.php on line 100

Stored in: images/yourlife_logo_v1.jpg

 

Code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

		if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
		|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
		|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
		&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 200000000))
		  {
		  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("http://www.yourlifeoutdoors.com/images/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
		      {
		      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
		      }
		    else
		      {
		      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
Line 100:		      "http://www.yourlifeoutdoors.com/images/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
		      echo "Stored in: " . "images/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
		      }
		    }
		  }
		else
		  {
		  echo "Invalid file";
		  }?>

the directory I would like the files stored in is yourlifeoutdoors.com/images/ but the page doing this insertion is located in an admin section of the site...  how do i reference to this directory?

Based on the errors you are getting

<?php
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"../images/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
?>

 

Your viewpoint should be server directory structure, not web URL/Is

 

Also I believe this is the same for file_exists() that you are using too
