File Upload Help 1

[klaforce]

Hi,
I am working on getting a file upload script working. I am trying to get the example that is used on the PHP.net site. Here is my code:

test.html:

<!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below -->
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="fileUpload.php" method="POST">
    <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field -->
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
    <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array -->
    Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
    <input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>

Then the fileUpload.php:

<?php
// In PHP versions earlier than 4.1.0, $HTTP_POST_FILES should be used instead
// of $_FILES.

print "<pre>";
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']))
{
   print "here\n";
   print $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']."\n";
   print $_FILES['userfile']['name']."\n";
   
   if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['userfile']['name']))
       print('here2');
   else
   {
		print_r($_FILES);
		print "Error = ".$_FILES['userfile']['error'];
   }
}
else
{
  // file not uploaded to server
  print('else');
}

print "</pre>";

?>

The print out is as follows:
here
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\php10.tmp
Todo.txt
Array
(
[userfile] => Array
(
[name] => Todo.txt
[type] => text/plain
[tmp_name] => C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\php10.tmp
[error] => 0
[size] => 814
)

)
Error = 0

Thus, it says the error code is 0 (which according to PHP.net means the upload was successful). However, the file does not exist in the folder I chose, and if it is printing Error = 0, it means that move_file returned false.

Any help here would be appreciated.

The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer professionals. We cause accidents.

you probably dont have write permissions to the destination directory which will be the directory in which you are running the script, if i understand your code correctly.

if you notice the tmp_name element contains the complete path. provide the move_u_l function with a full destination of a directory to which you write permissions and i'll bet that all will work.

Hi,
Thanks for the help. I tried changing the permissions of the folder to IIS to write, and gave the move_u_l function a full destination:

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],"C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\notecard\\gwt\\NotesKeith\\src\\com\\public\\".$_FILES['userfile']['name']))
       print('here2');
   else
   {
		print_r($_FILES);
		print "Error = ".$_FILES['userfile']['error'];
   }

This still give the same output. Any other ideas? Thanks again.

it was the IUSR_MACHINENAME to whom you granted write permissions, wasn't it? (assuming IIS)

Hey, what happened was I changed the permission from withen IIS manager, but not windows itself. That fixed the problem. Thanks for your help.
