Some photos won't move to directory..

[jwk811]

$pic = $_FILES['photo'];

	$ext = substr(strrchr($pic['name'], "."), 1); 
	$imagePath = md5(rand() * time()) . ".$ext";

$target = "images/";
$target = $target . $imagePath;


move_uploaded_file($pic['tmp_name'], $target);

 

 

It works for me and I don't think it's the extension because it's always .jpg and it works for me. I just don't get what could be happening. It worked before perfectly until I changed things around but it's still the SAME! And the directory has just the same permissions as the last one when it worked.

Are the photos not being moved, getting uploaded at all?

i get the name of the photo stored in the database just fine. but there is no file uploaded. but it works half the time??

i think it has something to do with the extension being in capitals like .JPG but then i tried it myself and it worked but for everyone else capital extension seems to notupload. maybe thats not it at all i dont know

Your files are probably failing to upload and your code is not checking for any of the possible upload errors before accessing any of the uploaded data. Do you have any error checking logic in your code?

The code at that link will check for and display upload errors. At the point where it has a the comment // put any type, size, file name/extension, or content validation here, you can put in any of the application level validation you need before you use move_uploaded_file() or put some of the uploaded file information into a database query statement.
