How can I create a file on the server in the directory I want using php? I found the function fopen but it won't help me, because we cannot choose the directory.
Example:
$href = '/contact/downloads/227856/file2.php'
if (file_exists($href)) {
echo "File exists";
} else {
echo "File doesn't exist, but we will create it";
// And there we gonna create the file in the directory $href
}
$path_to_file = " " //Make sure $path_to_file is the full path, something like /home/user/public_html/etc/ <br>
$yourFileName = 'myfile';
$ourFileHandle= fopen($path_to_file.$yourFileName, 'w') or die('Permission error');

I am uploading files to a server using php and while the move_uploaded_file function returns no errors, the file is not in the destination folder. As you can see I am using the exact path from root, and the files being uploaded are lower than the max size.
$target = "/data/array1/users/ultimate/public_html/Uploads/2010/";
//Write the info to the bioHold xml file.
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->load('bioHold.xml');
$xml->formatOutput = true;
$root = $xml->firstChild;
$player = $xml->createElement("player");
$image = $xml->createElement("image");
$image->setAttribute("loc", $target.basename($_FILES['image']['name']));
$player->appendChild($image);
$name = $xml->createElement("name", $_POST['name']);
$player->appendChild($name);
$number = $xml->createElement("number", $_POST['number']);
$player->appendChild($number);
$ghettoYear = $xml->createElement("ghettoYear", $_POST['ghetto']);
$player->appendChild($ghettoYear);
$schoolYear = $xml->createElement("schoolYear", $_POST['school']);
$player->appendChild($schoolYear);
$bio = $xml->createElement("bio", $_POST['bio']);
$player->appendChild($bio);
$root->appendChild($player);
$xml->save("bioHold.xml");
//Save the image to the server.
$target = $target.basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']))
echo 'It is a file <br />';
if(!(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target))) {
echo $_FILES['image']['error']."<br />";
}
else {
echo $_FILES['image']['error']."<br />";
echo $target;
}
Any help is appreciated.

Most like this is a permissions issue. I'm going to assume you don't have any kind of direct shell access to check this stuff directly, so here's how to do it from within the script:
Check if the $target directory exists:
$target = '/data/etc....';
if (!is_dir($target)) {
die("Directory $target is not a directory");
}
Check if it's writeable:
if (!is_writable($target)) {
die("Directory $target is not writeable");
}
Check if the full target filename exists/is writable - maybe it exists but can't be overwritten:
$target = $target . basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
if (!is_writeable($target)) {
die("File $target isn't writeable");
}
Beyond that:
if(!(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target))) {
echo $_FILES['image']['error']."<br />";
}
Echoing out the error parameter here is of no use, it refers purely to the upload process. If the file was uploaded correctly, but could not be moved, this will still only echo out a 0 (e.g. the UPLOAD_ERR_OK constant). The proper way of checking for errors goes something like this:
if ($_FILES['images']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
// file was properly uploaded
if (!is_uploaded_File(...)) {
die("Something done goofed - not uploaded file");
}
if (!move_uploaded_file(...)) {
echo "Couldn't move file, possible diagnostic information:"
print_r(error_get_last());
die();
}
} else {
die("Upload failed with error {$_FILES['images']['error']}");
}
You need to make sure that whoever is hosting your pages has the settings configured to allow you to upload and move files. Most will disable these functions as it's a sercurity risk.
Just email them and ask whether they are enabled.
Hope this helps.
your calls to is_uploaded_file and move_uploaded_file vary. for is_uploaded_file you are checking the 'name' and for move_uploaded_file you are passing in 'tmp_name'. try changing your call to move_uploaded_file to use 'name'
I'm having difficulty in copying an image from one folder to another, now i have seen many articles and questions regarding this, none of them makes sense or work, i have also used copy function but its giving me an error. " failed to open stream: No such file or directory" i think the copy function is only for files. The image i wanna copy is present in the root directory. Can anybody help me please. What i am doing wrong here or is there any other way???
<?php
$pic="somepic.jpg";
copy($pic,'test/Uploads');
?>
You should write your code same as below :
<?php
$imagePath = "/var/www/projectName/Images/somepic.jpg";
$newPath = "/test/Uploads/";
$ext = '.jpg';
$newName = $newPath."a".$ext;
$copied = copy($imagePath , $newName);
if ((!$copied))
{
echo "Error : Not Copied";
}
else
{
echo "Copied Successful";
}
?>
You should have file name in destination like:
copy($pic,'test/Uploads/'.$pic);
For your code, it must be like this:
$pic="somepic.jpg";
copy($pic,'test/Uploads/'.$pic);
Or use function, like this:
$pic="somepic.jpg";
copy_files($pic,'test/Uploads');
function copy_files($file_path, $dest_path){
if (strpos($file_path, '/') !== false) {
$pathinfo = pathinfo($file_path);
$dest_path = str_replace($pathinfo['dirname'], $dest_path, $file_path);
}else{
$dest_path = $dest_path.'/'.$file_path;
}
return copy($pic, $dest_path);
}
I have a simple code that checks whether a file exists or not in the server.
<?php
$filename = 'www.testserver/upload/productimg/IN.ZL.6L_sml.jpg';
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo "The file $filename exists";
} else {
echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>
Problem: My local webserver says that the file does not exist even though when I copy paste the url in the browser, I can see the image.
How can I make the condition say that the file does not really exist?
Another option would be, making a request and checking for the response headers:
<?php
$headers = get_headers('http://www.example.com/file.jpg');
if($headers[0]=='HTTP/1.0 200 OK'){
return true; // file exists
}else{
return false; // file doesn't exists
}
?>
Code live example:
http://codepad.viper-7.com/qfnvme
for real path of image you can try:
<?php
$filename = 'www.testserver/upload/productimg/IN.ZL.6L_sml.jpg';
$testImage = #file_get_contents($filename);
if ($testImage != NULL) {
echo "The file $filename exists";
} else {
echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>
Use
$filename = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/upload/productimg/IN.ZL.6L_sml.jpg";
for testing the file.
I am trying to delete a file from folder in php here is my model function
function deleteFiles()
{
$file = "http://localhost/copycopy/img/uploaded/long.jpeg";
if(is_file($file))
{
#unlink($file); // delete file
echo $file.'file deleted';
}
else
{
echo "no file";
}
}
but I always see "no file" and file is never deleted, file is in folder,because the url in $file actually displays the file in browser
help me
instead of using web url
$file = "http://localhost/copycopy/img/uploaded/long.jpeg";
use local path to file:
$file = $pathToYourWebSite . "/copycopy/img/uploaded/long.jpeg";
be sure to set $pathToYourWebSite to real location of your website;
Help!
So I've look at many solutions of this on stack overflow, but non seem to have worked. So what I'm doing is creating a directory with a random number, then creating a text file in it.
My directory is like this:
localhost
--/tdir/
---/(random number directory) < this is were i want to save to the text file
Here is my code:
<?php
$dir = rand(1, 1999999);
if (!file_exists($dir)) {
mkdir($dir, 0777, true);
}
if ($dir == true) {
echo "Created directory! :D";
} else {
echo "Failed to create directory! ~ :(";
}
chmod("/tdir/$dir/", 0777);
echo "</br><a href='/tdir/'>Go Back</a>";
echo "</br><a href='/tdir/$dir'>Go to page!</a></br>";
$my_file = '../'.$dir.'/file.txt';
$handle = fopen($my_file, 'w') or die('Cannot open file: '.$my_file);
$data = 'This is the data';
fwrite($handle, $data);
?>
I keep getting this error:
Created directory! :D
Go Back
Go to page!
Cannot open file: ../1320710 *random number directory* /file.txt
I need to be able to save to file.txt in the $dir directory!
You have to evaluate the response of the mkdir function, just write it like this
if (mkdir($dir, 0777, true) === TRUE){
....
Also, when writing/reading folders, make sure that you use System path, not URL path.
