I am trying to upload an image though my php script (around 89kb in size). The code for my index.php is:
<html>
<head>
<title>File Uploading Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>File Upload:</h3>
Select a file to upload: <br />
<form action="file_uploader.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file" size="100" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
This is placed in the same directory as file_uploader.php
and then the code for file_uploader.php is:
<?php
if( $_FILES['file']['name'] != "" )
{
copy( $_FILES['file']['name'], "" ) or
//Exit and show the error message, die does this
die( "Could not copy file!");
}
else
{
die("No file specified!");
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Uploading Complete</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Uploaded File Info:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Sent file: <?php echo $_FILES['file']['name']; ?>
<li>File size: <?php echo $_FILES['file']['size']; ?> bytes
<li>File type: <?php echo $_FILES['file']['type']; ?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
The permissions of the directory index and file_uploader are in are : 755.
The script seems to load but I get the error "Could not copy file", not sure what is going on here. Could someone give me some pointers please? Thanks!!
Have a look at the documentation and then please explain what copy( $_FILES['file']['name'], "" ) is supposed to do? If I were you I would fix that statement as well as replace it with a more secure variant that was created specifically for this: move_uploaded_file.
Additionally, read through this section in the manual and you might find another bug in your code; if you'd use $_FILES[0]['tmp_name'] might make it work even better.
Putting all this together; I'd use:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES[0]['tmp_name'], __DIR__ .'/'. $_FILES[0]['name']);

I have made an upload form and PHP code to save file upload

I've changed my code to the form of tutorialspoint php pdf,but
still have a problem:
Warning: copy(111.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC9\data\localweb\upload.php on line 4
The target path is incorrect. If you want to move dynamically the file to a "upload" directory inside your main directory, you can change :
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['name'],".;C:\ProgramFiles\EasyPHPDevServer-14.1VC9\data\localweb"))
to
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["name"], __DIR__ . "/upload/" . basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]))) {
tnx all friend help my solve this.Ive done it by this script:

I have checked that the uploads folder and the html as well as php files are of permission 777, so they should be able to upload these files
EDIT
I have removed a lot of code from the php file and tried to make it upload(copy) a hardcoded file path from the filesystem.
What I observe is that, if I just run php upload.php from the command line, it works and "uploads" the file from the Downloads onto the Desktop. However,the same upload.php, if run from the browser and via index.html, on one of my servers, it just says, "Could not copy file!". On another server, it downloads the upload.php file. Basically, the same script works from the command line. Doesn't work from the browser.
(I don't see any error message etc on the browser console)

Replace this with your same line of code.
copy( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], "/var/www/html/uploads" ) or die( "Could not copy file!");
The name value in the $_FILES array doesn't contain the path to the file. Use tmp_name instead. You also need to give the copied file a name not just the destination directory. Also move the file rather than copy it or you will end up cluttering up the tmp directory
move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], "/var/www/html/uploads/". $_FILES['file']['name'] )
or die( "Could not copy file!");
I am using ubuntu os with XAMPP. Here i've created two files uploader.php and phpEx6.php

try altering this
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/nf/uploads/'. $_FILES['file']['name'])
with this

or even this
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], '/opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/nf/uploads/'. $_FILES['file']['name'])
The error is about, there's no folder created to which you are trying to move the files.. Create the folder and then try it or check whether the folder has all the permissions needed to upload the file into it..
Here's the sample code for Uploading a file..
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
$tmp_name = $_FILES['Pic']['tmp_name'];
$name = $_FILES['Pic']['name'];
if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_name))
{
$org_name = time()."_".$name;
$dest = "uploads/$org_name";
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $dest);
}
}
there can be multiple answer for your questions as followed:
start path with DOT(.) such as './opt/foldername/'
create folder and give write permission to it in which you want to insert your file and data
or you can do before move uploaded in such as way just check first whether directory exist or not if its not than use mkdir function and than chmod to give write permission and than use upload function. its always a better practice to check directory existence and than only move the file there.
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/xampp/nf/uploads/'. $_FILES['file']['name'])

So I am trying to upload files to the database through php here is the code
HTML:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Image Upload</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="uploadimage.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="tag"/>
<input type="file" name="file"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
php:
<?php
$target = "files/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);
$name=$_POST['tag'];
$file=($_FILES['file']['name']);
mysql_connect("localhost","Bluesir9","Bluesir9","website");
mysql_query("Insert into files values('$name','$file');");
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$target))
{
echo "The File ".basename($_FILES['file']['name'])."has been uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "Sorry there was an error";
}
?>
when I check the target folder the files are there, but I cant find the files on the database returns an empty result set when I query it through phpMyAdmin.
What am I doing wrong?
Since the target files are there in folder, and if you can't find the files on the database then obvious thing should be to check insert query.
Please check syntax of insert query
mysql_query("Insert into files values('$name','$file')");
I have written a php code for uploading a file,but it seems there is
some issue with the code.can anyone plz help me out in resolving the
issue.
The HTML code is:
<html>
<head>
<title>File Uploading Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>File Upload:</h3>
Select a file to upload: <br />
<form action="C:\xampp\htdocs\upload.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file" size="50" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
And the PHP code is as follows:
<?php
if( $_FILES['file']['name'] != "" )
{
copy( $_FILES['file']['name'], "C:/xampp/htdocs" ) or
die( "Could not copy file!");
}
else
{
die("No file specified!");
}
?>

<li>File type: <?php echo $_FILES['file']['type']; ?>
<?php $_FILES['file']['tmp_name']; ?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
I am using xampp to run the PHP scripts.
**Onclicking
upload file
button nothing is displayed as expected.**
So what is the output? Also, do print_r($_FILES) to show how it is prepared for you to access, you are likely to be accessing the filename inaccurately.
Use the proper function and the correct array element:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], '...');
