I am trying to upload a client file to my server (from an html form using a "post" method), run a program on the $upldfile variable and then display the program results as downloadable links for the client.
My code is listed below and every time I run this I get the "file upload failed" notice.
Does anyone know if this is to with a permissions based problem or a server error or a code issue?
Thank you all in advance for any help offered
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$destination_path = getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
$target_path = $destination_path . "uploads/" . basename( $_FILES["file"{["name"]);
$upldfile = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target_path);
if ($upldfile){
echo "<p>File upload success.</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>File upload failed.";
}
ANSWER:
Changing the permissions appropriately,
and also
modifying the php.ini file to allow larger file uploads.
The code itself in the original file was correct.

Ok, I used google over the last 2 days and didn't got what is wrong with my code. First it seemed that I used the wrong path but the official "Hilfe Center" (like helping center or so) from 1&1 said that this must be the right path "e:\Kunden\Homepages\11\d12345678\www\UploadTest" (obviously you have to adapt it to your path, which i got throught phpinfo() )
so I'm using the following code:
<form action=\"upload.php\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">
<input type=\"file\" name=\"datei\"><br>
<input style=\"position:absolute;left:5px\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Hochladen\">
</form>
on the site where you upload the file and
$max_filesize = 524288; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 0.5MB).
$upload_path = "e:\\Kunden\\Homepages\\11\\d12345678\\www\\UploadTest";
$filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // Get the name of the file (including file extension).
if(filesize($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize)
die('The file you attempted to upload is too large.'); // if we upload large file then we get error.
if(!is_writable($upload_path))
die('You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.'); // if we have no enough permission then got error.
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],$upload_path . $filename)){
// if everything is fine then we upload file and go to somewhere else
header ('location: whereeveryouwantogo.php');
} else {
echo 'There was an error during the file upload. Please try again.';
}
on the site where the php script is running (upload.php). I got the code on another thread here and wanted to use it for troubleshooting. Later I'm going back to my own code.
I am now at the last error:
'There was an error during the file upload. Please try again.';
I just want to upload .txt files that are later used on a news based site. Thx for any helps in advance!
I think the problem is name of the input or name of the files variable.
$files=$_FILES['datei']['tmp_name'];
Greetings anyone who is reading this!
Currently I have a php page that allows the user to upload a file to my server at a specified directory. Here is what I use to do that:
if(isset($_FILES['fileup']) && strlen($_FILES['fileup']['name']) > 1) {
chmod($uploadpath, 0777);
$uploadpath = $uploadpath . basename( $_FILES['fileup']['name']); // gets the file name
$sepext = explode('.', strtolower($_FILES['fileup']['name']));
$type = end($sepext); // gets extension
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($_FILES['fileup']['tmp_name']); // gets image width and height
$err = ''; // to store the errors
// If no errors, upload the image, else, output the errors
if($err == '') {
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileup']['tmp_name'], $uploadpath)) {
chmod($uploadpath, 0777);
echo '<br/><br/>File successfully uploaded:' .$uploadpath.'</b>';
}
else echo '<b>Unable to upload the file.</b>';
}
else echo $err;
}
The uploading part works like a charm and the file is uploaded fine to the server however once uploaded, I am unable to delete the file as another user. Currently the user uploading the file would be the Apache user "www-data".
I do believe that the issue has to do with permissions being set for the uploaded file which I have tried using:
chmod($uploadpath,0777);
This does not help though.. The file still can't be removed. I can remove it through SSH if I am root using "rm -rf /directorypath" but can't delete it if I browse to it.
Any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated!
if you want to remove a file you can use php unlink ! And if thats a directory then rmdir !
you could use unlink('upload_folder/'.$image['file_name']);
Try to allow permission to your image folder too not just the files underneath.
chmod($upload_path, 0777);
before the line
$uploadpath = $uploadpath . basename( $_FILES['fileup']['name']);
Note that 777 is not super safe anyway. Best practice is to manage users with the group www-data
Whenever I try to move a file it does not work and shows "Image file not uploaded"... I just want to know where the error is...
$target = '/var/www/student/public/myimage.jpg';
$destination = '/var/www/student/public/images/myimage.jpg';
if( move_uploaded_file( $target, $destination ) ) {
echo "Image file is successfully loaded";
} else {
echo "Image file not uploaded.";
}
I have checked error log (tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log) but found nothing.
target and destination both directories have 777 permissions.
Can someone tell me that how to find out the error. Any idea ?
If you are not using HTTP POST upload method then you can use rename()
rename($target, $destination);
Has the file been uploaded in the current request?
move_uploaded_file will refuse to move files that are not uploads. (i.e. $target must equal $_FILES[$field_name]['tmp_name']
If it has been uploaded previously, move_uploaded_file will refuse to work (if it is even still there - PHP will delete it if you don't handle the file on that upload if I remember correctly)
If it is in fact not a file that has been uploaded with this request you'll want to use rename
move_uploaded_file() only works on http post files. http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php
to move a file already on the server, you will have to copy the file and unlink the old file
$target = '/var/www/student/public/myimage.jpg';
$destination = '/var/www/student/public/images/myimage.jpg';
if (copy($target, $destination)) {
unlink($target);
} else {
echo "Unable to copy $target to $destination.";
}
Here is a problem.
I have an HTML form with several fields in it.
One of the fields - 'Upload file'.
When I upload a file, everything works properly. But when I choose to submit the form without a file, it gives me the error message: "There was an error uploading the file, please try again". Looks to me that the script thinks that uploading a file is mandatory.
How do I change it?
Here is my PHP:
//File upload
// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "uploads/";
// Add the original filename to our target path.
//Result is "uploads/filename.extension"
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
//End of file upload
Thank you!
You should check using the function is_uploaded_file
try adding the following condition before calling the function move_uploaded_file
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'])) {
The target path of move_uploaded_files should be a folder, not a file.
You should also check if the folder is_writeable and is_dir.
move_uploaded_file returns a bool, true or false, depending on the success of the operation.
A solution would be to check more rigorously, e.g. if a file was uploaded at all via is_uploaded_file function.
For proper working, the function is_uploaded_file() needs an argument like $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], - the name of the uploaded file on the clients machine $_FILES['userfile']['name'] does not work.
I need to resize an uploaded image.
The class that resizes needs to get the location of the image to be worked with.
It returns the image in a variable.
However, when I try to get the path to the image, I get from $_FILES['profile_upload']['tmp_name'] the following: C:\xampp\tmp\php1C5.tmp
I don't get the actual file, even though the tmp folder contains it!
How can I get the actual filename? Another question - for how long are the files stored in tmp, and when do they get deleted?
By the way, does the Zend Framework have a good image manipulation interface?
You should complete the whole file upload setup with something similar and then the variable $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] will also contain the original file name:
$target_path = "uploads/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
To address your second point: Files are stored until the script they were uploaded to finishes.
