how to refer to the uploaded folder

[upendra470]

I have uploaded a folder on web for storing images. When I ran my php code to add images on localhost, it works perfectly fine but when i uploaded it on the web server, no image is produced inside the folder but it says 'image successfully added' Please help.

Here is my addgallery.php code

<?php
include "session.php";


include "connect.php";



if(isset($_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH']) && $_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH']>8097152){
echo "<script type = 'text/javascript'>alert('Upload files is too large. Cannot add to the gallery'); window.location = 'gallery.php';</script>";
exit();
}



else{

$n_width = 100;
$n_height = 100;

if(count($_FILES["image_id"]["name"]) > 0){

for($j=0; $j < count($_FILES["image_id"]["name"]); $j++){



if ((($_FILES["image_id"]["type"][$j] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["image_id"]["type"][$j] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["image_id"]["type"][$j] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["image_id"]["size"][$j] < 40000000))
  {
  if ($_FILES["image_id"]["error"][$j] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["image_id"]["error"][$j] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {

    //echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["image_id"]["name"] . "<br />";
    //echo "Type: " . $_FILES["image_id"]["type"] . "<br />";
    //echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["image_id"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
   // echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["image_id"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

    if (file_exists("upload/gallery/" . $_FILES["image_id"]["name"][$j]))
      {
      echo $_FILES["image_id"]["name"][$j] . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image_id"]["tmp_name"][$j],
      "upload/gallery/" . $_FILES["image_id"]["name"][$j]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/gallery/" . $_FILES["image_id"]["name"][$j];
/*  $tsrc = "upload/thumbs/".$_FILES["image_id"]["name"][$j];
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg("upload/gallery/".$_FILES["image_id"]["tmp_name"][$j]);
$width = imagesx($im);
$height = imagesy($im);
$newimage = imagecreatetruecolor($n_width,$n_height);
//$background = imagecolorallocate($newimage,255,255,255);
//imagecolortransparent($newimage, $background);
//imagealphablending($newimage, false);
//imagesavealpha($image, true);
imagecopyresampled($newimage,$im,0,0,0,0,$n_width,$n_height,$width,$height);
imagejpeg($newimage, $tsrc);*/
//chmod("$tsrc", 0777);

      }
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
}
}
}

$category = $_POST['category'];
$desc = $_POST['desc'];

for($j=0; $j < count($_FILES["image_id"]["name"]); $j++){
$pic_name = $_FILES["image_id"]["name"][$j];
$sql= "insert into gallery (category, pic_desc, pic_name) values('$category', '$desc', '$pic_name')";

$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
}

if($result){
//echo "<h4 style='color:green;'>Picture uploaded sucessfully</h4>";
//echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"1;URL=gallery.php\" />";
header("location: galleryadded.php");
}
else{
echo " Images cannot be added";
}

?>

This most likely has to do with the pathing used in your move_uploaded_file function...try using a relative path to the DOC_ROOT

You are not confirming that the file is copying.

 

You should have an if on your move uploaded file:

 

if (move_uploaded_file(FILESTUFF)) { Success } else { FAIL }

 

Your most likely issue is that you haven't chmodded the upload folder.

Nothing works. Can you tell me the exact path or exact correction i need to make in this code. I have been trying for so long but still not got anything positive.

[AyKay47]

do you receive any errors upon uploading in your error.log?

If, not, do you have your display_errors set to ON and error_reporting set to 1?

If you are not sure, you can check with these lines...

 

print(ini_get('display_errors'));
print(ini_get('error_reporting'));

error_reporting(E_ALL);
if(!ini_get('display_errors')) {ini_set('display_errors','On')};

Thanx for the advice. But can you please tell me where i can find the error.log file?

Warning: move_uploaded_file(upload/gallery/Image0081.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/gal37542/public_html/control/addgallery.php on line 48

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpzhEQW5' to 'upload/gallery/Image0081.jpg' in /home/gal37542/public_html/control/addgallery.php on line 48

 

I got these two warning while uploading the files. Can anyone tell my what i have to do to correct it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanx.

[upendra470]

The problem is solved now. I changed the permission of my uploaded folder to 0777 and added the full path to the move_uploaded_file function.

Tha full path i gave /home/gal37542/public_html/control/upload/gallery/

And it worked fine!!

Thank you to all of you!

[AyKay47]

There are better alternatives to changing directory permissions to 0777, which can be very dangerous.

 

1. you can make the directory using mkdir which will allow PHP access to the directory without having to change permissions.

 

2. You can use PHP's ftp functions to move the file into the specified web directory
