I am trying to get a variable from the query string and write it to a text file.
I have tried like this:
<?php
$content=( $_GET['var'] );
echo $content;
$file = fopen("etlLOG.txt","w+");
echo fwrite($file,$content);
fclose($file);
?>
I get the following errors:
Warning: fopen(etlLOG.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in E:\Users\george\listener.php on line 8
Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in E:\Users\george\listener.php on line 9
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in E:\Users\george\listener.php on line 10
You may need to change the permissions as an administrator. Open up terminal on your Mac and then open the directory that etlLOG.txt is located in. Then type:
sudo chmod 777 etlLOG.txt
You may be prompted for a password. Also, it could be the directories that don't allow full access.
OR
PHP
chmod : Attempts to change the mode of the specified file to that given in mode.
chmod
Well it appears that the web server does not have access to that file. So used ftp fopen provided the correct credentials and paths and finally i did managed to access and edit the file
If you are running WAMP on windows
1) login as an administrator
2) Install wamp
3) Download subinacl.exe from microsoft:
4) grant permissions to the regular user account to manage the WAMP services: (subinacl.exe is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools)
subinacl /SERVICE \MachineName\wampapache /GRANT=domainname.com\username=F
subinacl /SERVICE \MachineName\wampmysql /GRANT=domainname.com\username=F
5) logout and log back in as the user. They should now be able to launch the WAMP taskbar application and control the WAMP service.
My guess is that PHP is trying to create the file at 'C:\WINDOWS', so the solution wouldn't be to set permissions there.
I would suggest you use a specific location, example: create a folder at the same location as your php script and use it to create the files:
$filePath = dirname(_FILE_) . "/temp_vars/etILOG.txt";
$file = fopen($filePath ,"w+");
Kind regards,
The code you are running is trying to create the etlLOG.txt in the same folder as your PHP script. You need to give Full Permission to your IUSER_ account on the E:\Users\george folder.

I am trying to upload files into office network share folder, I have permission to my user account access the shared folder, I used UNC path to directly to upload files by move_upload_file function, It was not working I got this error.
Warning: move_uploaded_file(\\17.105.103.8\History\TQ_Books\1.PDF): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\xampp\htdocs\bookshelfs\app\controllers\Books.php on line 144
after some search I mounted that shared folder on my pc, I directly used that mounted drive name to upload the file then I am getting this error
Warning: move_uploaded_file(Z:\30.PDF): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\bookshelfs\app\controllers\Books.php on line 437
I am not getting what's wrong with it, how to fix this issue? do I need to do some config with apache service? I was trying SMP protocol but It is very hard to understand for me.
UPDATE
$bookExt = pathinfo($_FILES['select_book']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$filename = ltrim($_POST['book_no'], '0') . '.' . $bookExt;
$tmpFilename = $_FILES['select_book']['tmp_name'];
$targetDir = '\\\\17.105.103.8\\History\\TQ_Books\\'; //before mount'
$targetDir = 'Z:'; //after mount
$fileTarget = $targetDir . $filename;
if (move_uploaded_file($tmpFilename, $fileTarget)) {
die("success, uploaded");
} else {
die("not uploaded");
}
After days of research, I got the solution. PHP cannot talk directly to the network share folder in this case you have to mount the network drive to your system. after if you mount the drive still it won't work, because the problem is here Apache server logged in by the local system user account, so you have to change it to your system user account through Apache service. (you can find apache service on windows services) you have to open windows service by admin then only you can change the account.
Then you can run this code on your PHP file to mount. all set (you can see your mounted drive after restart your pc)
exec("net use Z: \\\\netowrk_ip\\folder /user:{sharefolder_domine}\{sharefolder_username} {sharefolder_password} /persistent:no 2>&1", $output, $return_var);
var_dump($output);
I hope this answer helps others.
I want to connect to a remote (AWS) mysql server using ssl in PHP.
My script works when I execute it via command line, but doesn't when I call it from the browser.
$con=mysqli_init();
mysqli_ssl_set($con,NULL,NULL,"path/to/cacert.pem",NULL,NULL);
$link = mysqli_real_connect($con, "host", "username", "password");
I am using php7/Apache/CentOs. I tried changing the ownership and permissions of the CA file, and noticed that it requires read permission the be executed on console. But in browser even if I give full permission to everybody (chmod 777) it still doesn't work.
The error i get is:
Warning: failed loading cafile stream.
When I check existence of file it returns true, but when I check is_readible, then also error.
Can somebody help?Thanks!
So as I figured there was (is) something wrong with readability and maybe permissions. I could narrow down the problem to the certificate file being existent but not readable. I moved it to my server with filezilla via ftp.
I could solve my problem by creating a new .pem file and simply copying the content of my original file into it. This one is readable now and works in browser, but I can't figure out why as they both have the same chmod xxx permissions and chown ownership.
Detailed description(for users with similar problem using AWS MYSQL):
open rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem file(download link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/rds-downloads/rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem) in text editor.
Copy content.
On your server, where php script should run create new file and paste text into it.(it might require some additional editing, begin/end tags in separate line and new lines end at the same place as in original text)

PHP - Failed to open stream : No such file or directory
(10 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I wrote this piece of code:
if (file_exists("testfile.rtf")) echo "file exists.";
else echo "file doesn't exist.";
$fh = fopen("testfile.rtf", 'w') or die("impossible to open the file");
$text = <<< _END
Hi buddies,
I write for the first time
in a PHP file!
_END;
fwrite($fh, $text) or die("Impossible to write in the file");
fclose($fh);
echo ("writing in the file 'testfile.rtf' succeed.");
But when I run it it says:
fopen(testfile.rtf): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/test/test1.php on line 64
impossible to open the file
I use XAMPP on my MAC to work on local server.
I found several topics where some people had the same problem, and solved it using something called "chmod 777" but I don't know what that means, where to write this, etc.
The error you are seeing simply means that your php script does not have the permission to open testfile.rtf for writing.
do not "chmod 777" everything anytime you are getting permission issues, this might introduce security problems later! instead- give the correct users the correct permissions.
In this case:
Since you are running XAMPP, then you need to make sure that your web server gets the write permission to the specific path you are trying to create new files in and\or edit existing files.
In the case of OSX and apache, I believe the webserver's user is named "_www".
Here's a small example (you might need to change it to your needs):
sudo chown -R _www:_www /path/to/folder
The example above will give _www (webserver) ownership of the /path/to/folder and all of the files in it.
Also: before you do any command-line based administration, you might want to read a little bit about unix commands, such as chown,chmod,etc..

I am trying to send data from an Android app to a PHP file on my server (school server) but I'm running into some problems. I have my own hosting space through SimpleHelix, and I was able to send the data just fine, but when I try to use my school's server, the PHP program returns the following error:
Notice: Undefined index: message in /home/alespurg/test_good.php on line 4
Warning: file_put_contents(androidmessages.html) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/alespurg/test_good.php on line 9
Warning: file_get_contents(androidmessages.html) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/alespurg/test_good.php on line 11
All I have changed in my Java file is the URL that I need it to post to. Could there be restrictions on my school's server that prevent the post to go through? I've checked my permissions on the folders and files, they're all 775. Again, I know the program works, I'm just having problems with the server. I did not use the IP address of the domain for either one. I couldn't find it for my school's server.
EDIT:
<?php
// get the "message" variable from the post request
// this is the data coming from the Android app
$message=$_POST["message"];
// specify the file where we will save the contents of the variable message
$filename="androidmessages.html";
// write (append) the data to the file
file_put_contents($filename,$message."<br />",FILE_APPEND);
// load the contents of the file to a variable
$androidmessages=file_get_contents($filename);
// display the contents of the variable (which has the contents of the file)
echo $androidmessages;
?>
If the permissions are 775 that means that if the web server process isn't either (1) the user who owns /home/alespurg/ (not likely) or (2) a member of the group that owns /home/alespurg/ (also not likely) then it won't be able write to the directory.
Are you sure the web server process is the owner or a member of the ownership group for /home/alespurg/?
I'll assume your web server is apache, which usually runs as apache:apache or nobody:nobody. Judging from the directory structure, it's likely that /home/alespurg/ is owned by alespurg:alespurg or some derivation.
ADDENDUM
If you need to do things like this an apache process is not really the appropriate place. You may not know it but you can write php scripts and execute them from the shell environment on your server where you're logged in as the appropriate user to write to that directory. Further, you can have CRON run them for you if necessary. The web server process is an unnecessary middleman.
In PHP I want to rename (move/copy) a file on a windows file server:
"\myserver\folder1\folder2\myfile.pdf"
to
"\myserver\folder1\folder2\OLD\myfile.pdf"
(all folders already exist and destination file does not exist)
I tried this:
copy("\\\\myserver\\folder1\\folder2\\myfile.pdf", "\\\\myserver\\folder1\\folder2\\OLD\\myfile.pdf");
and
copy("//myserver/folder1/folder2/myfile.pdf", "//myserver/folder1/folder2/OLD/myfile.pdf");
I receive:
[function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied
The computer I am on / user logged in as has permissions to rename/move/delete/copy to that share/folder.
I am guessing I need to somehow give php permissions, or run php as my user? OR?
PHP will be running as whatever user your web server runs as. You would need to grant permissions on that folder to whatever user account that is.
Dont use Copy... use move_uploaded instead
This is one example getting the image from a form:
$img = 'sample.jpg;
$path = '//nameofyourpcinyournetwork/sharedfolder/folderyoulike/';
$pathwithimg = $path.$img;
if (!is_dir($path)) {
mkdir($path, 0644, TRUE); // TRUE for make it recursive
}
if (file_exists($pathwithimg)) {
unlink($pathwithimg);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $pathwithimg);
chmod($pathwithimg, 0644);
}
Change safe_mod to Off if you have it On
P.D. Yeah i know, this post is 5 years ago... but no one said a valid answer and other people (like me) may find this question
