File Upload recv Error

nat1967 · Nov 30, 2003

oh... i am up against the wall and sliding fast....

all i am trying to do is upload a file to a directory on the webserver. (i'd love to email to me also but thats asking to much)

here is my code so far:

<html>
<head>
<title>Listing 9.14 A file upload script</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>File Upload Results</h1>
<?php
$file_dir = "/form";

foreach($_FILES as $file_name => $file_array) {
print "path: ".$file_array['tmp_name']."<br>\n";
print "name: ".$file_array['name']."<br>\n";
print "type: ".$file_array['type']."<br>\n";
print "size: ".$file_array['size']."<br>\n";
print "file dir: ".$file_dir."<br>\n";

if (is_uploaded_file($file_array['tmp_name'])) {
move_uploaded_file($file_array['tmp_name'],
"$file_dir/$file_array[name]&quot

or die ("Couldn't copy&quot

;
print "file was moved!<br><br>";

}
}
?>
</html>
************************************

needless to say, it doesnt work. i get an error:

path: /tmp/php00010213aa
name: yourship.jpg
type: image/pjpeg
size: 4224
file dir: /form

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/form/yourship.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /local/vips/home0/nathan/skylineprints.com/listing9.14.php on line 19

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/php00010213aa' to '/form/yourship.jpg' in /local/vips/home0/nathan/skylineprints.com/listing9.14.php on line 19
Couldn't copy

i am very new to PHP but need someone's help. I am very lost.... :-(

I'm not sure here,

but perhaps it should be:

$file_dir = "form/";

and not:

$file_dir = "/form";

?

I have a feeling that the preceeding / is causing PHP to read the base directory path and not your relative one?

Or I may be talking total nonsence - still give it a try and see

well guys and gals,

an all nighter paid off...

i figured out the deal. i was making an assumption that the path for my directory was implied so i could just reference the sub directory. i was WRONG!!! it works like that is other coding but not here... hmmm...

anyway, i changed the following line and all is good now. i must reference the entire string to my targt directory.

$file_dir = "/local/vips/home0/nathan/skylineprints.com/form";

now maybe i'll stay up all day and figure out how to email the attachment....

Have A Great Day!!!, [bigglasses]
