For the life of me, I cannot get an uploaded file to move from the tmp folder to the uploads folder. I have made sure all permissions were set to allow for the transfer. $upfile points to the right folder and file.

 

print_r($_FILES); yields the following:

 

Array ( [userfile] => Array ( [name] => 02.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpClFyXP [error] => 0 => 121200 ) )

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

HTML:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>

   <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
     <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value = "2000000000">
     Upload this file: <input name ="userfile" type="file">
     <input type="submit" value="Send File">
   </form>

</body>

</html>

 

PHP:

<html>

<head>

  <title>Uploading...</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Uploading file...</h1>

<?php



  if ($_FILES['userfile']['error'] > 0)

  {

    echo 'Problem: ';

    switch ($_FILES['userfile']['error'])

    {

      case 1:  echo 'File exceeded upload_max_filesize';  break;

      case 2:  echo 'File exceeded max_file_size';  break;

      case 3:  echo 'File only partially uploaded';  break;

      case 4:  echo 'No file uploaded';  break;

    }

    exit;

  }

  

  // Does the file have the right MIME type?





  // put the file where we'd like it

  $upfile = '/timporn/uploads/'.$_FILES['userfile']['name'];
  echo $upfile;


  if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) 

  {

     if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $upfile))

     {

        echo '<br>Problem: Could not move file to destination directory';

        exit;

     }

  } 

  else 

  {

    echo 'Problem: Possible file upload attack. Filename: ';

    echo $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

    exit;

  }





  echo 'File uploaded successfully<br><br>'; 



  // reformat the file contents

  $fp = fopen($upfile, 'r');

  $contents = fread ($fp, filesize ($upfile));

  fclose ($fp);



  $contents = strip_tags($contents);

  $fp = fopen($upfile, 'w');

  fwrite($fp, $contents);

  fclose($fp);



  // show what was uploaded

  echo 'Preview of uploaded file contents:<br><hr>';

  echo $contents;

  echo '<br><hr>';



?>

</body>

</html>

 

Only thing I see is this

 

if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $upfile))

 

Are doing a check for if move_uploaded_file() was done, but yet you never actually moved it with the function.

^^^ That if() statement calls the function and tests the result of the function call.

 

Your most likely problem is the leading slash on your $upfile value refers to the root of the current hard disk and it is unlikely that is where your destination folder actually is.

 

Are you developing and testing this code on a system with error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON so that all the php detected errors will be reported and displayed? Doing so would show any errors that are occurring with the move_uploaded_file() statement.
