Permission Denied on move_uploaded_file()

[cshong00]

Hi all,

 

I've run into a problem that a lot of other people seem have run into but I haven't been able to find the resolution so I'm hoping someone can help.

 

I'm getting the following two error messages when I try to use the move_uploaded_file() method to upload hongkim.jpg:

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(hongkim.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/kccdenve/public_html/EM/new/upload2.php on line 10

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/var/tmp/phpCvzSP9' to 'hongkim.jpg' in /home/kccdenve/public_html/EM/new/upload2.php on line 10

 

The code on the upload page is as below:

 

<?php
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)  {
  echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
}
else {
  if (file_exists($_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
    echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
  }
  else {
	move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
    echo "Done";
  }
}
?>

 

I've read several different solutions for this on the web (modifying the chmod of the folder, modifying the directory permission to 777, modifying my php.ini) but I don't know how and/or where these configurations and permissions are set.  Is this permissions issue I have to take up with my hosting provider or can i take care of this myself?  Some help on this would be much appreciated!

I would first try setting the folder permission(s) to 777.

 

To do that, you can use the chmod() function:

Thanks pocobueno,

 

I've modified my code so it's as below:

 

<?php
$path = "att/";
chmod($path, 0777);

if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)  {
  echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
}
else {
  if (file_exists($path . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
    echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
  }
  else {
	move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $path . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
    echo "Done";
  }
}
?>

 

I'm assuming this will give me everyone read, write and execute permissions on the "att/" folder.  When I try to upload to this however, I get a new chmod() error message and the same two messages I was getting before:

 

Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /home/kccdenve/public_html/EM/new/upload2.php on line 3

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(att/test.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/kccdenve/public_html/EM/new/upload2.php on line 14

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/var/tmp/php1zwVbP' to 'att/test.txt' in /home/kccdenve/public_html/EM/new/upload2.php on line 14

 

Any ideas?
