Need some help understanding an upload script..

Here's the upload script:

<?php //This is the directory where images will be saved 
$target = "images/"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']); 
//This gets all the other information from the form 
$name=$_POST['name']; $email=$_POST['email']; $phone=$_POST['phone']; $pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']); 
// Connects to your Database 
mysql_connect("your.hostaddress.com", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error()) ; mysql_select_db("Database_Name") or die(mysql_error()) ; 
//Writes the information to the database 
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `employees` VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$phone', '$pic')") ; 
//Writes the photo to the server 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)) { 
//Tells you if its all ok 
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; } 
else { //Gives and error if its not 
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
} ?> 

 

Wouldn't I need a username pw for it access images, where it's supposed to upload it? Or does it simply upload it to a file called images in the same folder as the upload.php is in?

 

Thank you!

No.

Yes.

Thank you!

 

I get this error though:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(images/upload/p_00035.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /Users/Fenhopi/Sites/add.php on line 18

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/private/var/tmp/phpsUIf4H' to 'images/upload/p_00035.jpg' in /Users/Fenhopi/Sites/add.php on line 18

Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.

 

 

Any idea why?

You need to edit your permissions. Depending on the host, this can often be done via the user control panel they provide.
