Read file after uploading to website server

[jwesneski]

Hi, I am using a standard file-upload script that writes successfully to my webhost's server (godaddy), but immediately after writing the file I want

to get the number of words and cannot. I am using file_get_contents(path-to-the-file-i-just-uploaded).

 

Godaddy is a bit weird, I have to use a long long explicit path to write the file, which is what you see below.  But if I specify the same path when trying to read the file, I can No such file or directory....

 

Code:

 

<?php

if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/msword")

|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/pdf")

 

 

)

&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 500000))

  {

  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)

    {

    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";

    }

  else

    {

    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";

    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";

    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";

    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

 

    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))

      {

      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";

      }

    else

      {

//this works, weird explicit path but it's the only one that works on Godaddy for me

      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],

      "home/content/p/o/r/portasabertas/html/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

      echo "Stored in: " . "html/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];

 

 

//okay now read file back to get number of words. this doesn't work, i get No such file or directory

//i've tried all permutations of the file location, e.g. /upload/$_FILES["file"]["name"]  etc, but get the same error   

 

$str = file_get_contents(home/content/p/o/r/portasabertas/html/upload/$_FILES["file"]["name"]);

$numWords = str_word_count($str);

echo "This file have ". $numWords . " words";

      }

    }

  }

else

  {

  echo "Invalid file";

  }

?>

This line

$str = file_get_contents(home/content/p/o/r/portasabertas/html/upload/$_FILES["file"]["name"]);

 

Should be written as

$str = file_get_contents("/home/content/p/o/r/portasabertas/html/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

 

Your file path needs to be enclosed within quotes.
