[SOLVED] upload form

[aebstract]

I don't think YOU know what YOU are talking about. I came here with the code already, trying to get it to work. You gave me basically the same code, still not working. So what do you mean by asking me if I have ever tryed to finish it by myself, of course I have. ( before I came to the forums I tryed to write it out and make it work ) That is the reason I am here, I couldn't get it to work on my own. I thought that was obvious and the point of help forums.

 

 

 

 

If anyone else can help further, that would be greatly appreciated.

Okay I tryed:

 

 

if (move_uploaded_file ($FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'], "/httpdocs/uploads/{$_FILES['thefile']['name']}")) {

 

and

 

if (move_uploaded_file ($FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'], "hillmarketinggroup.com/httpdocs/uploads/{$_FILES['thefile']['name']}")) {

 

and

 

if (move_uploaded_file ($FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'], "hillmarketinggroup.com/uploads/{$_FILES['thefile']['name']}")) {

 

 

none are doing anything, just basically brings me back to the form. What I don't get is why it isn't telling me the reason it isn't uploading. Is there any code I can add on to that line to see if there are any errors coming out of it?

 

 

Please please please try the FULL path.

 

From the root dir: /var/www/html/uploads/ or whatever your FULL PATH is. This is 90% probably your error.

 

Or try: $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/uploads/' as the path.

see I thought I tryed the full path, I'm not 100% sure on what it is

 

 

I tryed the following:

 

        if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'],  "$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/uploads/'".$_FILES['thefile']['name'])) {

Array ( [thefile] => Array ( [name] => civic.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/php2HAf4A [error] => 0 => 102006 ) ) Error

 

 

I tryed /httpdocs/uploads/ also, which is up there but I don't know how to get my full path?

[monk.e.boy]

echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/uploads/'. $_FILES['thefile']['name'] .'<br>';

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'],  $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/uploads/'. $_FILES['thefile']['name'] )) {

 

Try that, can you post what is echo'd? Note that I have changed the quotes.

 

cheers,

O.O that uploaded the image, it also echoed:

 

/var/www/vhosts/hillmarketinggroup.com/httpdocs/uploads/civic.jpg

 

Could you explain what you did to make it work? Thanks a lot for all the help too.

 

 

 

edit: is there a way to change the file name as it is being uploaded?

[monk.e.boy]

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'],  $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/uploads/'. $_FILES['thefile']['name'] ))

 

You had quotes around the $_SERVER so your resulting string would be very odd. You have two options:

 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'],  $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/uploads/'. $_FILES['thefile']['name'] ))

 

or

 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'],  "$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']/uploads/$_FILES['thefile']['name']" ))

 

Note the position of the ' and the " in my examples and in your code:

 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'],  "$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/uploads/'".$_FILES['thefile']['name'])) {

 

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is where you .php file lives on the server. So if this php file is in the root HTML directory and your images folder is in the same directory, then everything matches:

 

/var/www/html/my_page.php

/var/www/html/images/img.png

 

then apache sees:

 

http://www.site.com/my_page.php

http://www.site.com/images/img.png

 

So

 

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = /var/www/html/

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/images/' = /var/www/html/images/

 

hope that makes sense.

Yes, thanks for all your help. Now I am going to integrate this in with some database stuff so I may be back in a little bit, hopefully I can get it all to work smoothly Thanks again!
