Change Path

[westair]

Hi all complete novice here!

 

I created a script upload.php that includes the path,

$path1 = "./shop/Item/Description/";

 

I want to move upload.php from the root of the www to a newly created sub-directory (Admin) in www root.

 

How do I change/specify the path to the same directory?

 

Thanks

Depends where "./shop/Item/Description/" is. But lets say it were root still. You'd use this:

$path1 = "../shop/Item/Description/"; //Two dots = recurse one directory, out of admin to www then to /shop/...

 

Or you can use an absolute path "domain.com/ship/item/description" But I assume you're going relative to preserve a cert..

Humm thanks for that.

 

I had tried that but I receive an error, I assumed it was somthing to do with the path as it workes from the root fine. Guess the error must be something different.

 

I receive the error:

PHP Warning:  move_uploaded_file(C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SpecialsAdmin../shop/Item/Brochures/Row1/Brochure.pdf): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SpecialsAdmin\upload.php on line 33

PHP Warning:  move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move 'C:\Windows\Temp\phpB998.tmp' to 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SpecialsAdmin../shop/Item/Brochures/Row1/Brochure.pdf' in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SpecialsAdmin\upload.php on line 33

 

Below is the code.

 

<?php

$row = $_POST ['Chooserow'];

$path1 = "../shop/Item/Description/";

$path2 = "../shop/Item/Price/";

$path3 = "../shop/Item/Brochures/";

$path4 = "../shop/Item/Images/"; 

$file1 = fopen( $path1 . $row . 'Description.txt', 'w', 1);

fwrite($file1, $_POST['Description']);

$file2 = fopen( $path2 . $row . 'Price.txt', 'w', 1);

fwrite($file2, $_POST['Price']);

// fclose($file1);

 

 

//Check that we have a file

if((!empty($_FILES["uploaded_image"])) && ($_FILES['uploaded_image']['error'] == 0) &&

    (!empty($_FILES["uploaded_broch"])) && ($_FILES['uploaded_broch']['error'] == 0)) {

  //Check if the file is .pdf image and it's size is less than 400Kb

  $filename1 = basename($_FILES['uploaded_broch']['name']);

  $ext1 = substr($filename1, strrpos($filename1, '.') + 1);

if (($ext1 == "pdf") && ($_FILES["uploaded_broch"]["type"] == "application/pdf") &&

      ($_FILES["uploaded_broch"]["size"] < 400000))  {

          //Check if the file is a JPEG or GIF image and it's size is less than 10Kb

                      $filename2 = basename($_FILES['uploaded_image']['name']);

        $ext2 = substr($filename2, strrpos($filename2, '.') + 1);

    if (($ext2 == "jpg") && ($_FILES["uploaded_image"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") ||

                                  ($ext2 == "gif") && ($_FILES["uploaded_image"]["type"] == "image/gif") &&

  ($_FILES["uploaded_image"]["size"] < 10000)) {

    //Determine the path to which we want to save this file

      $newname1 = dirname(__FILE__).$path3.$row.'Brochure.'.$ext1; 

      $newname2 = dirname(__FILE__).$path4.$row.'Image.'.$ext2;

  //Check if the file with the same name is already exists on the server

    if (!file_exists($newname1) && ($newname2)){

                      //Attempt to move the uploaded file to it's new place

                                      if ((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_broch'['tmp_name'],$newname1)) &&

(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_image']['tmp_name'],$newname2))) {

          echo "It's done! The upload has been made to: ".$row;

        } else {

echo "Error: A problem occurred during file upload!"; }

                        } else {

          echo  "Error: Data Exists in this Row"; }

                              } else {

                        echo "Error: Only .jpg or .gif images under 350Kb are accepted for upload"; }

                          } else {

                echo "Error: Only Brochoure in .pdf format under 350Kb are accepted for upload"; }

                                        } else {

                                    echo  "Error: No file uploaded"; }

?>

Read the error -

 

No such file or directory

 

Unable to move 'C:\Windows\Temp\phpB998.tmp' to 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SpecialsAdmin../shop/Item/Brochures/Row1/Brochure.pdf

 

Does C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SpecialsAdmin../shop/Item/Brochures/Row1/Brochure.pdf look like a correctly formed and valid path statement?

I wasn't aware you were running a Windows server. Simply change it to a backslash, such as "..\shop\" and it should work!

<?php
$row = $_POST ['Chooserow'];
$path1 = "\..\shop\Item\Description\";
$path2 = "\..\shop\Item\Price\";
$path3 = "\..\shop\Item\Brochures\";
$path4 = "\..\shop\Item\Images\";      

 

EDIT: "\SpecialsAdmin../shop/", you need another slash at the beginning than to make it valid. Such as my code up there.

Caught it same time as you, I noticed it when I looked again.

Ok as I stated in the beginning, complete novice..

 

So you are saying $path1 = "../shop/Item/Description/";

Should change to?

 

Thanks in advance
