I am curious why my uploaded image is not going to the proper folder

[karatekid36]

This is the first time I have worked with uploading files through and html form with php.  I can not see why this is not working.  I used this form once and it worked and then I started adding some other things to the file and of course it does not want to move the file properly anymore. I just can not see why it is not working anymore.  If anyone spots something please let me know....

<?php

session_name ('YourVisitID');
session_start(); // Start the session.

// If no session value is present, redirect the user.
if (!isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {

// Start defining the URL.
$url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
// Check for a trailing slash.
if ((substr($url, -1) == '/') OR (substr($url, -1) == '\\') ) {
	$url = substr ($url, 0, -1); // Chop off the slash.
}
$url .= '/index.php'; // Add the page.
header("Location: $url");
exit(); // Quit the script.
}

$page_title = 'Upload Awards or Paddles';
include('./includes/header.html');

$counter = 1;

if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {

require_once('./includes/mysql_connect.php');


for($i = 0; $i < $counter; $i++) {

$filename = 'upload' . $i;
$description = 'description' . $i;
        $pledge_class = 'pledge_class';

if(isset($_FILES[$filename]) && ($_FILES[$filename]['error'] !=4)) {

	if(!empty($_POST[$description])) {
		$d = "'" . escape_data($_POST[$description]) . "'";

		} else {

		$d = 'NULL';

		}

	$query = "INSERT INTO ap_uploads (pledge_class, file_name, file_size, file_type, description) VALUES ($pledge_class, '{$_FILES[$filename]['name']}', '{$_FILES[$filename]['size']}', '{$_FILES[$filename]['type']}', $d)";
	$result = mysql_query ($query);

if($result) {

$upload_id = mysql_insert_id();

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$filename]['tmp_name'], "awards_paddles_img/$upload_id")) {

		echo '<p>File number ' . ($i + 1) . ' has been uploaded!</p>';

		} else {

		echo '<p><font color="red">File number ' . ($i +1) . 'could not be moved.</font></p>';

		$query = "DELETE FROM ap_uploads WHERE upload_id = $upload_id";
		$result = mysql_query($query);

		}

	} else {

		echo '<p><font color="red"> Your submission could not be processed due to a system error.</font></p>';

	}
}
}

mysql_close();

I had this happen recently, you could try doing an absolute link. Then, once you verify it's working you can migrate to the relative if you really need to. You might also make sure the folder has write permissions.

[karatekid36]

I checked the permissions and they we not correct.  I have since changed them to the proper permissions, but still it is not moving the file properly.  I also changed it to an absolute link and they only produced an error.  If anyone else has any other suggestions please let me know.

May not help, but force the script to recognize that you mean "the current directory" by prepending "./" to the folder name:

 

move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$filename]['tmp_name'], "./awards_paddles_img/$upload_id")

 

Is it moving the file at all, or is it moving it to an incorrect location?

[karatekid36]

I added that and it sill does not work. 

 

It is not moving the file to anywhere on my server! This is starting to drive me nuts!  So to answer your question, not only is it not going to the right directory, it is not going to the server at all....

Put

error_reporting(E_ALL);

at the very top of your script (after session_start()), and see what it produces.

[karatekid36]

I added that to the top and nothing happened when i reloaded it in my browser or when i resubmitted the form.

[hitman6003]

Make sure display errors is on too...

 

ini_set("display_errors", 1);

 

...just after John's code.

[karatekid36]

still nothing
