Im trying to add file uploading to my app but for some reason the php script doesnt move the file. I'm using angularjs and the code works fine but in the script it doesn't move/upload the file as it's supposed. Below is the code I have
<?php
$name = $_FILES['filee']['name'];
$tmp_name = $_FILES['filee']['tmp_name'];
$loc = '/media/img/';
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filee']['name'], $loc)){
echo $_FILES['filee']['tmp_name'].$loc.$name;
}
?>
I don't see whats wrong with the script!!
you need to use tmp_name in the first argument of move_uploaded_file() function as below
<?php
$name = $_FILES['filee']['name'];
$tmp_name = $_FILES['filee']['tmp_name'];
$loc = 'media/img/'.$name; //desitination needs file name also
if(!is_dir('media/img/') && !file_exists('media/img') ) {
mkdir('media/img',0777,true);
}
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filee']['tmp_name'], $loc)){
echo $_FILES['filee']['tmp_name'].$loc.$name;
}
?>
also make sure form has enctype attribute

I just started moving CodeIgniter 3 project to CodeIgniter 4.
Everything works fine except file upload.
I would like to keep the user uploaded files in /writable/uploads. Below is the code I use to move the uploaded file to desired location.
$target_dir = '/writable/uploads/recordings/';
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["gfile"]["name"]);
$FileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
if($FileType != "mp3") {
$vmuploadOk = 1;
}
else
$vmuploadOk = 1;
if ($vmuploadOk == 1) {
$greetfile = $id . "g" . basename($_FILES["gfile"]["name"]);
$target_filenew = $target_dir . $greetfile;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["gfile"]["tmp_name"], $target_filenew);
}
I assume that it is because CI4 keeps writable folder outside public folder.
You are not using CodeIgniter's built in functions. Everything shown in your code are PHP functions. If you want to leverage built in CI functions, then look through the documentation as linked by #Boominathan Elango.
To get the file from the request:
$file = $this->request->getFile('here_goes_input_name');
As specified here
To move the file using CI function:
$file->move(WRITEPATH.'uploads', $newName);
As specified here
This worked for me and I hope it will also work for you. In codeigniter 4 please use this to upload your files and move it in your controller.
if($imagefile = $this->request->getFiles())
{
if($img = $imagefile['gfile'])
{
if ($img->isValid() && ! $img->hasMoved())
{
$newName = $img->getRandomName(); //This is if you want to change the file name to encrypted name
$img->move(WRITEPATH.'uploads', $newName);
// You can continue here to write a code to save the name to database
// db_connect() or model format
}
}
}
OR
if($img = $this->request->getFile('gfile'))
{
if ($img->isValid() && ! $img->hasMoved())
{
$newName = $img->getRandomName();
$img->move(ROOTPATH . 'public/uploads/images/users', $newName);
// You can continue here to write a code to save the name to database
// db_connect() or model format
}
}
Then in your html input field
<input type="file" name="gfile">
I hope this works else call my attention
I made a simple upload form, but when I try to upload something, the name of the file changes (ex : photo.jpg >> photo.jpg.jpg - double extension).
My code:
$place = realpath($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);
$name = $place.$_FILES['file']['name'];
$f1 = strchr($name,'.');
$f2 = strtolower($f1);
$name = $place.$name.$f2;
if ($_POST['up']) {
if (file_exists($name)) {
echo '[-] The File Already Exist ! ';
} else {
$upload = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$name);
}
if (isset($upload)) {
echo '[+] The File "'.$_FILES['file']['name'].'" uploaded succsessfully';
}
}
This is because how you create the $name variable.
You first create $name = $place.$_FILES['file']['name']; Where $_FILES['file']['name'] is the full name of the file. With the extension.
After that you say that $name is the path (which makes no logic) and you add the full name of the file and the extension again. Just remove the second $name = $place.$name.$f2;
JSFIDDLE
I'm using filedrop.js to create a file repository structure within my app. The above noted JSFIDDLE has all of the Javascript / jQuery / HTML and CSS code for this small module. While everything on the client end seems to be functioning properly (files can be DnD'd, progress bar acts correctly, console shows proper event triggers), the result on the server-side is always an empty $_FILES variable. My PHP (ajax.receiveFile.php) is as follows:
var_dump($_FILES);
ob_start();
$callback = &$_REQUEST['fd-callback'];
$job_id = &$_REQUEST['job_id'];
$subdir = &$_REQUEST['subdir'];
$j = loadJob($job_id);
$save_path = "D:\\JobFiles\\" . $j->gOrderNumber() . "\\" . $subdir . "\\";
if ( ($_FILES['fd-file']['size'] > 0) && is_uploaded_file($_FILES['fd-file']['tmp_name']) ) {
$name = $_FILES['fd-file']['name'];
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fd-file']['tmp_name'], $save_path.$name)) {
$j->addAttachment($subdir,$name);
echo 'true';
} else {
echo 'false';
}
}
ob_end_flush();
FileDrop.js seems to be doing what it is supposed to do, as shown here:
I read here on SO that using the same element name over multiple input types of "file" can cause errors but I'm not sure that is the case here. I have double- and triple-checked the permissions on both the TEMP and TARGET upload folders, I have confirmed that all PHP variables are set as needed via visual inspection and PHPINFO(). The server config is PHP 5.4 on IIS7.
If anyone has any ideas on what else to look for, please contribute. Thanks!
This works for me:
file_put_contents('uploads/person/7.jpeg', fopen('php://input', 'r'));
I'm converting an image to a binary file in IOS, which works just fine. This will be handled by my php script which is suppose to upload this image to my ubuntu server. The problem is i keep getting file=unsuccessful. i've tried different directory paths, but cant seem to solve this issue.
This $directory will return this: /var/www/User/core/ios/
<?
if(!empty($_POST))
{
$message = $_POST['message'];
$directory = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/User/core/ios/';
$file = basename($_FILES['userfle']['upload']);
$uploadfile = $directory . $file;
var_dump($_FILES);
$randomPhotoID = md5(rand() * time());
echo 'file='.$file;
echo $file;
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfle']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo 'successful';
}
else
{
echo 'unsuccessful';
}
}
else
{
echo('Empty post data');
}
?>
Check the error file of your php(you can make sure if you enabled the error log in php.ini),
if you don't have the permission or for some other reasons it can't move the file ,there will be a record in that file.
Some time you can try the command setenforce 0 if you confirm you(I means the user of apache) have the permission to move the file but it not work.
By the way if the file you want to move is not upload by post, there is no error log and the move function will return false.
i am trying to use this bit of code to first retrieve a URL that is stored in a txt file on my server and save it as a variable, then run file_get_contents a second time using the URL i just retrieved and saved as a variable.
the code works for the first file_get_contents and echoes the URL that is stored, but fails to then use that URL in the second file_get_contents to echo the contents of the URL.
<?php
$files = file_get_contents('http://example.com/txtfile.txt');
echo $files;
$file = file_get_contents($files);
echo $file;
?>
Well the direct solution to your problem is:
<?php
$files = file_get_contents('http://example.com/txtfile.txt');
echo $files;
$files = trim($files);
$file = file_get_contents($files);
echo $file;
?>
But this is huge security risk. Running file_get_contents to open a variable file is risky.
