Some problems with upload directory.

[Asumi]

Heya all, as the title says, i meet some issues when uploading files to my server, here is the code;

$anime = $_POST['anime'];
$anime = $file = str_replace(' ', '\ ', $anime);
$anime = "Sous-titres/".$anime."/";
$target_dir = $anime;
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check file size
if ($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["size"] > 50000000) {
echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
echo "The file " . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]) . " has been uploaded.";
} else {
var_dump ($target_dir);
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
}
}

So, i'm attempting to acces to a directory taking the name of the anime that the admin put in the input type="text", for upload the file selected in.

Error with the var_dump: string(28) "Sous-titres/Akame\ ga\ kill/" Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.

 

Hope you can help me !

Maybe the directory that you're trying upload file in, hasn't write permissions.

 

Set error reporting level to

error_reporting(-1);

May some errors will be output

Hey WinstonLA, thank's for the answer, i had a problem like that at the beginning and corrected it, like the permissions are; drwxrwxrwx  www-data www-data

The problem is, if i replace this line : $anime = "Sous-titres/".$anime."/";

With this: $anime = "Sous-titres/$anime";

 

My file is uploaded, but on the directory "Sous-titres", and the filename is something like "Akame\ ga\ killFilename.jpg", don't know what is wrong

 

The directory have the same permissions than Sous-titres.

 

Activating the error_reporting; 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(Sous-titres/Akame\ ga\ kill/Tulips.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/subs/index.php on line 527

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/php4k6709' to 'Sous-titres/Akame\ ga\ kill/Tulips.jpg' in /var/www/subs/index.php on line 527

As I know filename can't be Akame\ ga\ killFilename.jpg because Akame\ ga may be considered as a directory.

You should avoid slashes in filenames or create appropriate directories and then specify slashes in filename

[Asumi]

The problem is the spaces in the directory "Akame ga kill", in debian, for cd to that directory i need to do cd Akame\ Ga\ Kill.

So i thinked that i needed to add the slashes with the str_replace here ; $anime = $file = str_replace(' ', '\ ', $anime);

 

I can't really don't use spaces here, because the directory is created with the Anime name, when the Admin create a new one, and most of the animes have a composed name.

(Well, i can tell to admins to use CamelCase for example, but i'm sure that we can deal with this problem !)

[WinstonLA]

OK. Try comment this line $anime = $file = str_replace(' ', '\ ', $anime);

And after line $anime = "Sous-titres/".$anime."/"; write var_dump(file_exists($anime)); this will show that is there that directory. If so than uploading should be successful, if no, you need find that path that is will be returned true by file_exists() function.

You dont need to escape the spaces in the file path. PHP will treat the \ as a directory separator.

[Asumi]

Well, i did what you say, and had this; bool(true) string(26) "Sous-titres/Akame ga kill/" Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.

 

So if i understand right, the directory exists , but the upload can't be done for some reason ?

 

Ok Ch0cu3r ! Good to know

[Asumi]

Well, was testing some possibilities and i read again this line ;

 

Maybe the directory that you're trying upload file in, hasn't write permissions.

 

Set error reporting level to

error_reporting(-1);

May some errors will be output

 

And I told me, well, gonna try to change the permissions via ssh on these directories.

So i did;

chown -R www-data:www-data Sous-titres

and;

chmod -R 777 Sous-titres

 

And now, it's work !

 

Thank's very much WinstonLA ! You are a god

 

PS: I changed thise line on folder creation; $oldumask = umask(002);
