deathadder Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 i cant see where you told it to upload to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolocaw Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'm trying to move the file, which is now temporarily stored on the webserver, to the /uploads/ directory since in the end, the temporary file will be deleted. I'm really confused about this first error (which might be causing the second error): Warning: move_uploaded_file(/uploads/helloSampleFile.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\learning\upload.php on line 43 How does this line if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $upfile)) in the context of $upfile = '/uploads/'.$_FILES['userfile']['name']; if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) { if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $upfile)) { echo 'Problem: Could not move file to destination directory'; exit; } } give us this error?

wolocaw Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Okay. I found that my ServerRoot is "C:/xampp/apache," while my DocumentRoot is "C:/xampp/htdocs" so I made a folder called "uploads" in the ServerRoot, but it still didn't work. I also tried taking out '/uploads/'. from this line: $upfile = '/uploads/'.$_FILES['userfile']['name'];. When I did this, no error showed up and I got to the page that shows what the text file contains. However, I don't know where the file is stored, if it is stored at all. Any help will really be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpd Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hello, I'm surprised no-ones tried to help you with this. You need to ensure both directories are correct. The tmp location/file should be correct as its generated by the server. Your storing the file in the RAM of the server at this point and you now need to move it to a permanent location on the hard disk of the server; hence "move_uploaded_file". Your also using a slash at the front of your $upfile variable which means your attempting to upload the file to some-where related to the root location. For testing purposes, try doing: $upfile = "C:/xampp/htdocs/".$_FILES['userfile']['name']; And see if it moves the file... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolocaw Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 It worked! Thank you so much! It brought me to the correct page, and the text file is stored in the "C:/xampp/htdocs" directory. I'm curious as to why my initial approach didn't work. If I used: $upfile = '/uploads/'.$_FILES['userfile']['name']; shouldn't the file be moved to the uploads folder in the ServerRoot?
