Upload files

[DeepSeek 🤖]

I´m trying to implement a file upload functionality in my site, but for some reason i´m not being able to do it.

I don´t receive any errors, in fact o get a success message. But when i check the folder the file isn´t there, as if it hasn´t

been uploaded.

The code i´m using is really straight forward:

 

<?php

 $name = $_FILES['meuFicheiro']['name'];

 $type = $_FILES['meuFicheiro']['type'];

 $size = $_FILES['meuFicheiro']['size'];

 $temp = $_FILES['meuFicheiro']['temp_name'];

 $error = $_FILES['meuFicheiro']['error'];

 

 if ($error > 0){

   die("Erro no upload do ficheiro");

 }

 else

 {

  

     move_uploaded_file($temp,"uploads/".$name);

echo "Ficheiro transferido com sucesso!";

 }

 

?>

 

Some help would be very appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Have you tried printing out the variables?

 

A quick test tells me that an error of the info not being set will pass your error test. In the following code there is no $_FILES* variable defined, so prints "there"...

$error = $_FILES['meuFicheiro']['error'];
if($error>0){echo "here";}else{echo "there";}

To see errors whilst debugging add the following to the top of the page...

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',E_ALL);

Tanks Mentalist, 

but as i said i get no errors. I´ve echoed the content of the variables and everything is fine.

I can´t figure it out.

 

Thanks any way...

OK, so has move_uploaded_file() got write permissions for the target directory? (i.e. can you simply write a new file to that directory?)

I´ve checked the folder permissions and everything seems to be fine.

I´m using filezila and i transfered a file to the folder without problems.

I´m really stuck with this one.

It seemed like such an easy thing to do....

 

Thanks for the replies Mentalist.

Filezilla may log in as diff/right user, PHP/Server may be diff user with diff group permissions, etc!

 

Also in various other examples i've just looked at they use an absolute dest address (filesystem, not sever)...???

I´m really new to this things Mentalist. 

There is one variable that isn´t echoed. The variable $temp.

When i echo that variable nothing shows.

Could that be the problem. But if the variable is empty how come does the function  move_uploaded_file($temp,"uploads/".$name); work?

I don´t get it...

lol, change "temp_name" to "tmp_name" ...

 

 

EDIT:

You don't know if move_uploaded_file() worked because you don't check the return code in the shown code! (returns true on success!)

Those are 99% of all errors, even after over 30 years of doing it, we're only human
