File Upload issues

[melting_dog]

Hi guys,

 

I need a little help. I am running a site in XAMPP whilst I develop it locally. I am trying to upload an image file. Heres my code:

 

$photo=$_POST['photo'];

 

$target_path = "uploads/";

 

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);

 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {

    echo "The file has been uploaded";

} else{

    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";

}

 

But I get these errors:

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(upload/ferriswheel.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/temp/phpNwxq6I' to 'upload/ferriswheel.jpg' in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/xampp/whatmycitywears/submitphotoprocess.php on line 53

 

Am I right in thinking this is some sort of issue with the temp directory? It seems to be putting it somewhere is XAMPSS folders rather then in my directory

 

Any help would be great!

OK I get a new meesage now:

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(uploads/ferriswheel.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/xampp/whatmycitywears/submitphotoprocess.php on line 35

 

So I think I need to somehow set the permissions in XAMPP to allow upload?

Its ok - I've figured it out. I realised I had to set permissions on the upload directory to read/write on my computer
