I am getting this error when assigning a target file directory in the attached code.....The file upload works if I do not assign a upload location.

 

"Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpjrO2Do' to 'http://www.nkmaa.ca/nkmaa/ldtuploads/freebl3.chk' in /home/nkma4081/public_html/nkmaa/uploads/upload.php on line 71

There was an error uploading the file, please try again! "

 

//Windows way
$uploadLocation = "http://www.nkmaa.ca/nkmaa/ldtuploads/";
//Unix, Linux way
//$uploadLocation = "\uploads";

?>

To move a file you have to use the path on the server and not the web path. Meaning your path to move the file would look something like:

 

$uploadLocation = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "nkmaa/ldtuploads/";

 

That will give you something like:

/home/nkma4081/public_html/nkmaa/ldtuploads/

 

Which is the correct server path and not the web path. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks, I tried your suggestion and got the following error....The directory does exist though:

 

"Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/nkma4081/public_html../nkmaa/ldtuploads/LICENSE) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nkma4081/public_html/nkmaa/uploads/ldtvideopage.php on line 66

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpsWAscU' to '/home/nkma4081/public_html../nkmaa/ldtuploads/LICENSE' in /home/nkma4081/public_html/nkmaa/uploads/ldtvideopage.php on line 66

There was an error uploading the file, please try again!"

 

Here is the change I made:

<?php

$uploadLocation = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "../nkmaa/ldtuploads/";

?>

<div id="apDiv1"><a href="../members.html"><strong>Click Here to return to LDT Page</strong></a></div>

    <div id="main">
      <div id="caption">UPLOAD FILE</div>
      <div id="icon"> </div>
      <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" name="fileForm" id="fileForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        File to upload:<center>
        <table>
          <tr><td><input name="upfile" type="file" size="36"></td></tr>
          <tr><td align="center"><br/><input class="text" type="submit" name="submitBtn" value="Upload"></td></tr>
        </table></center>  
      </form>
<?php    
    if (isset($_POST['submitBtn'])){

?>
      <div id="caption">RESULT</div>
      <div id="icon2"> </div>
      <div id="result">
        <table width="100%">
<?php

$target_path = $uploadLocation . basename( $_FILES['upfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file: ".  basename( $_FILES['upfile']['name']).
    " has been uploaded!";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

?>
        </table>
     </div>
<?php
