[SOLVED] Upload script not working???

[northernmics]

The following code pulls the variables from a flash movie.

 

<?php

 

$folder =  $_POST['folder'];

$path = "./files/".$folder."/";

//create the directory if doesn't exists (should have write permissons)

 

if(!is_dir("./files/".$folder)) mkdir("./files/".$folder, 0755);

//move the uploaded file

 

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $path.$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

chmod($path.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'], 0777);

?>

 

The $folder variable contains the username, the purpose is to create a user folder and move the uploaded image to it.  This scriipt creates the proper folder " ./files/username/" but the image moves to " ./files/ " instead of the username folder.

 

The code looks to be the same for both mkdir and move_uploaded_file, and Im confused why it is not working.  Any help would be appreciated.

Have you printed the strings you're assembling to be sure they're correct?  Are you getting any warnings/errors (do you have warnings turned on)?  Is the file a valid, uploaded file?

[northernmics]

There are no errors, and everything works properly but the image gets saved in the wrong folder.  It does not see the  $folder variable when it moves the file, but it does see it when it creates the folder.

 

I am not to familuar with php, I only use it with my flash programs as a backend.

Can you try this & post output?

 

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);  // For debugging purposes.

$path = './files/' . $_POST['folder'] .'/';

echo "Path: $path<br>\n";

if (!is_dir($path)) mkdir(rtrim($path,'/'), 0755);

echo "New file: ", $path.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'], "<br>\n";
echo "File " . (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']) ? "is" : "is not") . " an uploaded file.<br>\n";

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $path.$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
chmod($path.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'], 0777);

?>

I am not sure how to test this properly because It uses variables that are only sent when the flash program sends them.  If I run the php file I get errors that would occur without the variables.

Then call it in your flash program.

[northernmics]

called the path variable bck into flash and it came back the way it should ./files/username/

[Wildbug]

Hmm, not sure.

 

Can you verify the permissions that are actually being set on the created dir and the moved file for me?  Other than that, I might be out of ideas.  Sorry.

[northernmics]

Thanks for the attempt... I don't see how the ermissions would be any different from the folder /files/ because they are both created in the same script.

 

I may not be an expert on php, but this code seems really simple.. but just does not work.  The file/username/ folder is created in this script, but the move command only moves the uploaded file to the /file/ folder??? the move_uploaded_file script is the exact same as the mkdir???

 

 

[Wildbug]

But did you actually look to see the perms are set to what you thought they were set to?  The actual result depends on the umask value.  And even if it were different, maybe it wouldn't cause this error, but in leiu of any other idea, it's worth pursuing.  Yes, it's a simple script, but it's not working and not giving you an error message, so you should check that each step is doing what it ought to be doing to find where things are going bad.

[northernmics]

I checked the perm's and both the /files/ and /files/username/ folder are teh same at drwxrwxrwx.

[northernmics]

<?php

 

$folder =  $_POST['folder'];

 

$path = "./files/".$folder."/";

//create the directory if doesn't exists (should have write permissons)

 

if(!is_dir("./files/".$folder)) mkdir("./files/".$folder, 0755);

//move the uploaded file

 

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], "./files/".$folder."/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

chmod("./files/".$folder."/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name'], 0777);

 

 

 

echo "&path="."$path";

 

?>

 

 

I exported the $path variable to my Flash file which represents the exact dir that the image is suppose to copy too.  It returned ./files/username/  exactly where the file should go.... A Little frustratiing...

 

[Wildbug]

Damn.  Now I'm frustrated by your script.

[northernmics]

I did not solve the problem, but I did make a solution and that was to make a seperate php script that is used after the uplaod function is finished.  The second script renames the uploaded file to the username, creating the unique image file for each user.  The drama though

 

Thanks
