Path to file in server - php

Question

I am trying to use a PHP file to upload files from an Android app to a web server.
This the PHP file:
<?php
//importing dbDetails file
require_once 'dbDetails.php';
//this is our upload folder
$upload_path = 'usuarios/';
//Getting the server ip
$server_ip = gethostbyname(gethostname());
//creating the upload url
$upload_url = 'http://'.$server_ip.'/danyra/administrar/application/admin/'.$upload_path;
//response array
$response = array();
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){
//checking the required parameters from the request
if(isset($_POST['name']) and isset($_FILES['image']['name'])){
//connecting to the database
$con = mysqli_connect(HOST,USER,PASS,DB) or die('Unable to Connect...');
//getting name from the request
$name = $_POST['name'];
//getting file info from the request
$fileinfo = pathinfo($_FILES['image']['name']);
//getting the file extension
$extension = $fileinfo['extension'];
//file url to store in the database
$file_url = $upload_url . getFileName() . '.' . $extension;
//file path to upload in the server
$file_path = $upload_path . getFileName() . '.'. $extension;
//trying to save the file in the directory
try{
//saving the file
line 45 --> move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'],$file_path);
$sql = "INSERT INTO `images` (`id`, `url`, `name`) VALUES (NULL, '$file_url', '$name');";
//adding the path and name to database
if(mysqli_query($con,$sql)){
//filling response array with values
$response['error'] = false;
$response['url'] = $file_url;
$response['name'] = $name;
}
//if some error occurred
}catch(Exception $e){
$response['error']=true;
$response['message']=$e->getMessage();
}
//displaying the response
echo json_encode($response);
//closing the connection
mysqli_close($con);
}else{
$response['error']=true;
$response['message']='Please choose a file';
}
}
/*
We are generating the file name
so this method will return a file name for the image to be upload
*/
function getFileName(){
$con = mysqli_connect(HOST,USER,PASS,DB) or die('Unable to Connect...');
$sql = "SELECT max(id) as id FROM images";
$result = mysqli_fetch_array(mysqli_query($con,$sql));
mysqli_close($con);
if($result['id']==null)
return 1;
else
return ++$result['id'];
}
This file is taken from a tutorial.
This is the scenario:
The PHP file is at:
http://myserver.com/danyra/android_login_api/upload.php
The folder where I want to store the uploaded images is at:
http://myserver.com/danyra/administrar/application/admin/usuarios
I am using POSTMAN to check the script, and I am always receiving this error:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(usuarios/18.png): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/kokls/public_html/myserver.com/danyra/android_login_api/upload.php on line 45
Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpMciKUa' to 'usuarios/18.png' in /home2/kokls/public_html/myserver.com/danyra/android_login_api/upload.php on line 45
{"error":false,"url":"http:\/\/XXX.XXX.246.130\/danyra\/administrar\/application\/admin\/usuarios\/18.png","name":"fsd"}
I have tried a lot of options changing paths, but with no success.
Any help is welcome.

Answer 1

I think your current path is incorrect. You should be using a relative path.
Try this path
$upload_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/danyra/administrar/application/admin/usuarios/';
