[SOLVED] move_uploaded_file() problem

[digitalgod]

hey guys,

 

I'm trying to upload a file to higher directory but for some reason even though that directory exists I keep getting this error

 

move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpNH2aX9' to '../../products/Untitled.jpg'

 

I thought that it was because the server is full but it's not... the only time it actually works is if I upload in the same directory as the script...

 

the script is located in sales/modules/base

and the upload directory is in sales/products

 

Any ideas why it's not working?

 

//$uploaddir = "../../products/"
if (move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, $uploaddir . $file_name)) {
...
}

you said 'any'

 

: check the directory permissions OS side

                presumably you're using Apache, check your config for directory permissions

[digitalgod]

well why would it work on the current directory but not another one? The current directory is 644 and the directory where I'm trying to move the image to is 777.

try to include the real path maybe thats causing you a prob

 

you can try this

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']/folder/folder/..

 

and echo if the path is correct just for the sake of debugging

that worked perfectly, thanks!

 

Any ideas why my way wasn't working?
