File form not uploading correctly

[BillyBoB]

I am working on building a site that needs to upload a pdf to their site weekly. The file is not uploading correctly, could you help me out and see if there are any errors. I have already set /resources/ and /resources/familyties/ to 777...

 

Error Messages:

Warning:  move_uploaded_file(/resources/familyties/01_08_2010.pdf) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cplpaso0/berrysch/public_html/Members on line 111

Code:

$uploadfile = '/resources/familyties/'.substr($_POST['date'], 0, 2).'_'.substr($_POST['date'], 3, 2).'_'.substr($_POST['date'], 6, 4).'.pdf';
$_POST['date']=substr($_POST['date'], 6, 4).'-'.substr($_POST['date'], 3, 2).'-'.substr($_POST['date'], 0, 2);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
if($sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `dyn_familyties` (`date`, `link`) VALUES('$_POST[date]', '')")) {
	echo("
		<div>
			$_POST[date] was added to the family ties list. <a href=\"/~berrysch/Members/FamilyTies\">Go back</a>
		</div>
	");
}else{
	echo("

		</form>
	");
}
}else{
print_r($_FILES);
echo("

Ok the error is your naming scheme of the file. What your code is doing is it is trying to say that a file is there when it is really not.

 

This line here is your problem:

 

$uploadfile = '/resources/familyties/'.substr($_POST['date'], 0, 2).'_'.substr($_POST['date'], 3, 2).'_'.substr($_POST['date'], 6, 4).'.pdf' ;

 

The reason this is wrong is because the first line of code is naming a file by the current date which is then making a file that does not exists on the server therefore you are getting those dreadful error messages. Try changing your code to this:

 

$uploadfile = "/resources/familyties/{$_FILES['file']['name']}" ;

 

What this does is whatever the name is of the file the person is uploading is what the name will be on the server. Also, you were trying to name the file being uploaded with the extension of a ".pdf" but if the file the person is uploading is not a true ".pdf" it will not matter if you append the ".pdf" extension to the file being uploaded. If you want to only allow pdf files to be uploaded you should specify the mime type that is allowed with the file upload. For example:

 

if ($_FILES['file']['type'] != "application/pdf") {
echo "<p>Your file could not be uploaded because: You can only upload PDF's.</p>" ;
}

 

Also, if you want to rename the file being uploaded, you might want to look at the rename function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php

The fix didn't work. It still throws the same error.

I figured it out after posting the second post. I just needed to add ./ in the directory. Thanks for the help.
