File Location Problem

[seb hughes]

I'm creating a script that will upload a file,create a txt file and add data to a .htaccess file. The problem im having is that the script runs from digg/stats and the .htaccess is in /digg/ aswell as the picture upload place, but I cant seem to run the script from digg/stats and get the .htaccess updated in /digg/ nor will the picture upload to that place, below is my code:

 

<?php 
//Getting & Creating/ Text file 
$file = preg_replace ('/[^a-zA-Z0-9\_ ]/', '', $_POST['textfile']);  
$file = str_replace(' ', '_', $file); 
$image_name = $file; 
$file = $file.".txt"; 

if (file_exists($file)) { 
    die ("The Link/Image Name You Have Entered Already Exists"); 
} 

if($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/jpeg")  { 
    $type = ".jpg"; 
} else if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/gif") { 
    $type = ".gif"; 
} else if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/png") { 
    $type = ".png"; 
} else { 
    die("Invalid Image Type"); 
} 

$f = fopen ($file, 'w');  
fputs ($f, "");  
fclose ($f);  

//Uploading File 

$uploadpath = 'digg/'; 

$new_name = $uploadpath.$image_name.$type; 
copy ($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'], $new_name)   
    or die ("Could not copy"); 
     
//Write to .htaccess 
$htaccess = '.htaccess'; 
$slash = "\\"; 
$content  = "\r\nRewriteRule ^$image_name$ image_tracker.php?image=$image_name$slash$type\r\nRewriteRule ^$image_name/$ image_tracker.php?image=$image_name$type\r\nRewriteRule ^$image_name$slash$type$ image_tracker.php?image=$image_name$slash$type"; 


    //Checks / creates file 
   if (!$handle = fopen($htaccess, 'a+')) { 
         echo "Cannot open file ($htaccess)"; 
         exit; 
   } 

    //Write To File 
   if (fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE) { 
       echo "Cannot write to file ($htaccess)"; 
       exit; 
   } 
   
  fclose($handle); 

if (!is_writable('.htaccess')) { 
        die("The file $htaccess is not writable"); 
}

try

 

$uploadpath = '../digg/';

or

$uploadpath = '../';

It worked for the image, but how would I do it for the .htaccess file that I am trying to write too.

 

Thanks,

<?php

//Write to .htaccess 
$htaccess = '../.htaccess';

?>

if you want the same folder as the image folder then i would say use the below

 

$htaccess = $uploadpath.".htaccess";

 

so you only have to remember to update one path

[seb hughes]

I now get this error:

 

The file ../.htaccess is not writable

 

But the thing is the script does every it should and it nows works, but i don't know why I'm getting this error, where there is no error.

Try CHMODing the .htaccess file to change it's permissions.
