After deployed my Laravel code on Ubuntu server I have following function returning empty string:
$package = $request->file('file');
dd($package->getPathname());
while locally (Windows) it is working and on other hosting (Ubuntu too) it is working too.
What could be the reason for that?
Thank you!
This is most likely due to the web user that the php is running on being denied the access to the temp directory used to store the uploaded files.
You can check it by running the following snippet (that i took directly from the php manual) on the directory that you are uploading your files to:
<?php
$filename = 'test.txt';
if (is_writable($filename)) {
echo 'The file is writable';
} else {
echo 'The file is not writable';
}
?>

On my server Apache/2.4.37 (Oracle Linux), I am trying to copy a file from one directory to another.
$source = "../dvn/test.pdf";
$destination = "dvn/nglst.pdf";
mkdir(dirname($destination), 0777, true);
if(!copy($source,$destination)){
echo " file_exists source:".file_exists($source);
echo " file_exists destination:".file_exists($destination);
echo " file not copied ".$source." dest:".$destination;
} else {
echo " file copied ";
}
I have root permission on my $souce and $destination files on the server. But when I run the code, I get the following log.
file_exists source:1 file_exists destination:1 file not copied
../dvn/test.pdf dest:dvn/nglst.pdf
I don't get any errors, even if I have display_error = on in my php.ini, and it is not working on my server. I tried the same code in another server, and it worked fine. So it probably has to do with folder/files permission (755 for folder and 644 for file) of the Apache Oracle server.
The following code works perfect on my localhost but it shows the following errors on my live server
Warning: move_uploaded_file(.../uploads/76948893.jpeg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phppxvRs8' to '.../uploads/76948893.jpeg'
What it does is simple, it takes the images on the array ["pictures"] which comes from a html form and save every image on the folder ".../uploads/" using a random numeric name as name of the file and keeping the original extension.
Any one knows how to make it work on my server?
//Image Uploader
$images=[];
$directory = '.../uploads/';
foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
$new_file_name = rand (10000000,99999999);
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];
$name = $_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key];
/* echo '<br>';
echo $directory.$new_file_name.".".substr($_FILES['pictures']['type'][$key],strpos($_FILES['pictures']['type'][$key], "/")+1);*/
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['pictures']['tmp_name'][$key],
$directory
.$new_file_name
.".".substr($_FILES['pictures']['type'][$key],strpos($_FILES['pictures']['type'][$key], "/")+1))) {
array_push($images,$new_file_name.".".substr($_FILES['pictures']['type'][$key],strpos($_FILES['pictures']['type'][$key], "/")+1));
$images_validator=true;
}else{
//Error
}
}
}
There could be many reason for this, Check the following
You need WRITE Permission for the uploads directory. I assume your local machine runs windows & your hosting environment is linux
Like #Darren suggests, use absolute path. change the $directory to $directory = getcwd() . 'uploads/';
If this runs on your local machine but not on server there are 2 easy answers I can think off right off the back. 1. The folder doesnt exist on the server, 2. as someone comment you dont have permission to write/read to that folder on the server....I would check the server configuration to make sure your app pool or users have read/write permissions to the folder
I want to download a file using php. Everything is working fine on windows, but when I try to run the same php code on my ubuntu 12.04 just an empty file gets downloaded without any content. When I try to run the following code:
<?php
$filename = '/root/my_folder/filename.pdf';
if(file_exists($filename))
$f = fopen( '/root/my_folder/filename.pdf', 'r') or exit('unable to open file');
else
echo 'file does not exists';
?>
It always display the 'file does not exists'. Is the issue with setting path to my folder ?
Can anyone help me with this. I'm new in Ubuntu. Thanks
your apache user does not hae the permission to access /root/myfolder/filename.pdf . You will have to either add apache user to the group that is accessing /root/myfolder or change the ownership of filename.pdf or change the permissions on /root/myfolder
I've been trying to make a system that can upload large files, originally i used HTTP but this had a number of problems with settings that needed to be changed. So i thought i'd give it a go with FTP.
Now i have a ftp connection in PHP and it works find, i can view folders and files as well as make directories, what i can't seem to figure out though is how to get hold of a local file and upload it.
I have been reading lots of information and tutorials such as the PHP manual and a tutorial i found on nettuts But i'm struggling to do it. The tutorial says you can upload a local file but i must be missing something.
Here is the upload method i'm using:
public function uploadFile ($fileFrom, $fileTo)
{
// *** Set the transfer mode
$asciiArray = array('txt', 'csv');
$extension = end(explode('.', $fileFrom));
if (in_array($extension, $asciiArray))
$mode = FTP_ASCII;
else
$mode = FTP_BINARY;
// *** Upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($this->connectionId, $fileTo, $fileFrom, $mode);
// *** Check upload status
if (!$upload) {
$this->logMessage('FTP upload has failed!');
return false;
} else {
$this->logMessage('Uploaded "' . $fileFrom . '" as "' . $fileTo);
return true;
}
}
When trying to upload a file i use this:
$fileFrom = 'c:\test_pic.jpg';
$fileTo = $dir . '/test_pic.jpg';
$ftpObj -> uploadFile($fileFrom, $fileTo);
I thought this would get the file from my machine that is stored in the c: and upload it to the destination but it fails (Don't know why). So i changed it a little, changed the $fileFrom = test_pic.jpg and up the picture in the same folder on the remote server. When i ran this code the script copied the file from the one location to the other.
So how would i go about getting the file from my local machine to be sent up to the server?
Thanks in advance.
Using this you would upload a file from your PHP server to your FTP server, what actually not seems to be your target.
Create an upload form which submits to this PHP file. Store this file temporarily on your server and then upload it to your FTP server from there.
If your try would actually work, this would be a major security issue, because a PHP file would have access to any files on my local machine.
I have a form, which uploads an image.
I try to get it by $_FILES:
$filename = $_FILES['screenshot']['name'];
$source = $_FILES['screenshot']['tmp_name']."/".$filename;
$target = GL_UPLOADPATH.$filename;
echo "TEST0";
if (move_uploaded_file($source, $target)) {
//connect to DB and so on, what I need
echo "TEST1";
}
So I get echoed TEST0 but don't get echoed TEST1.
If I echo every variable - it's normal. I see my $target - it's something like /tmp/phpoLqYdj/test2.jpg
So, I think PHP can't move_uploaded_file because it can't find /tmp/phpoLqYdj/test2.jpg
But where is /tmp/phpoLqYdj/? I am testing on localhost. My document root is /var/www/.
PHP has default settings in php.ini (upload_tmp_dir is commented in php.ini).
In my /tmp/ folder (in system) I don't have such folder like php***. In /var/tmp/ either.
(Ubuntu 10.10, LAMP was installed by "tasksel")
When you uploads files via PHP, it stores them in as a tmp file that's not named anything related to the filename. Appending $filename to $_FILES['screenshot']['tmp_name'] is the incorrect way to handle it... $_FILES['screenshot']['tmp_name'] IS the file.
Also, the tmp file is removed at the end of the request, so you'll never have a chance to actually see it in the file manager. Either you move it in the same request, or it's gone. It's all done in the name of security.
Anyway, just use this instead and you'll be good.
$filename = $_FILES['screenshot']['name'];
$source = $_FILES['screenshot']['tmp_name'];
$target = GL_UPLOADPATH.$filename;
echo "TEST0";
if (move_uploaded_file($source, $target)) {
//connect to DB and so on, what I need
echo "TEST1";
}
I had the exact same problem. What I did to fix it was change the permissions of folder that you are uploading to, to read and write for all.
