Uploading problem

[hadoob024]

I've seen this issue posted a thousand times, but everyone else seems to have issues with the uploading part. My problem is with the displaying part. I read through the PHP manual about this, but it didn't answer my question.

When I process an uploaded file, do I have to move or copy it prior to displaying it? I'm not interested in saving the file right now. I just want to verify that it was uploaded properly by displaying it. Here's my code for displaying the uploaded image file.

EDIT: OK he has just edited post which is better then what ever got posted before.

Also can you edit your title too so it makes sense!

I will unlock the topic too!

sorry. i'm having problems with new posts and editing prior ones. i keep getting this "403 Forbidden from editing index.php" error message.

where can you edit the topic?

This is due to a security script that is installed and causes this in certian cases. It thinks your attacking server with your PHP code. for now could place your code over at [a href=\"http://pastebin.com/\" target=\"_blank\"]Paste Bin[/a] and provide a link to you code.

EDIT: I have edited your thread title as sadfasddf didn't make much sense!

Cool. Thanks for the tip. I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me include my code. Anyway, the code for what I'm doing is located at:

[a href=\"http://pastebin.com/631485\" target=\"_blank\"]http://pastebin.com/631485[/a]

However, all this ends up displaying is garbage like the following:

Any thoughts on what's going on? thanks!

Instead of echo'ing you $contents file like so:
[code]echo '<B>Picture:</B><BR />'.$contents;[/code] try doing like so:
[code]header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
echo $contents;[/code]

[hadoob024]

hmmm... that might work, but i know that i've already sent some html as output, so i'm guessing that i will end up getting one of those "cannot modify header" error messages. think there's anything else i can try?

[hadoob024]

OK. So it's looking like I can't just take the uploaded image and display it. It seems like I have to move it to a temp directory and then I can display it. Anyway, I just modified my file upload script. Everything works fine until the following. I first specify a pathname to a directory that I created called "uploadtmp" which resides in my public HTML folder:

[code]$picpath = '/home/virtual/site109/fst/var/www/html/uploadtmp/'.$_FILES['picture']['name'];[/code]


I then move the file to this location using the following:

[code]if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['picture']['tmp_name'], $picpath))[/code]


However, this command gives me the following error message:

"Error Message:
move_uploaded_file(/home/virtual/site109/fst/var/www/html/uploadtmp/akira01.jpg):
failed to open stream: Permission denied
Error Code: 2"

What is causing this permissions error? Thanks.

[hadoob024]

OK. I seemed to have gotten past the permissions error. I changed the permissions of that folder and now I'm not getting those errors anymore. I'm still getting jumbled up garbage when I try to display the image though. Here's the code:

[a href=\"http://pastebin.com/633809\" target=\"_blank\"]http://pastebin.com/633809[/a]

Any thoughts on why the image isn't being displayed?
