I'm uploading files from an iPhone app to PHP using the following code:
<?php
if ($_FILES["media"]["error"] > 0) {
echo "Error: " . $_FILES["media"]["error"] . "<br />";
} else {
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["media"]["name"];
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["media"]["type"];
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["media"]["size"] / 1024);
echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["media"]["tmp_name"];
if (file_exists("uploads/" . $_FILES["media"]["name"])) {
echo $_FILES["media"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
} else {
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["media"]["tmp_name"],
"uploads/" . $_FILES["media"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "uploads/" . $_FILES["media"]["name"];
}
}
?>
Afterwards, I get the success message saying "uploads/2542543.jpg" - but I can't seem to find where the image is actually stored. Is the filepath relative to the php file (which is in php - and has an uploads folder) or is it absolute from the root??
EDIT: Looks like the file should have ended up in php/uploads/filename.jpg - but it doesn't appear to be making it. I don't quite understand why - anyone have any idea?
This is an absolute path from the root
/uploads/2543.jpg
This is a relative path from your PHP document
uploads/2543.jpg
So you're working with a relative path (note the missing / at the start)
This is defined in php.ini using the upload_tmp_dir directive. If that's not set, it uses the system default, which you can figure out using sys_get_temp_dir. I believe it defaults to /tmp on Linux, and C:\Windows\Temp\ on Windows.

I hosted my website with 000webhost and I run the following code during upload but it returned me blank value. I suspect something must be wrong with the temp folder but I not sure how to check this.
<?php
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
?>
Your error is: UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR
Value: 6; Missing a temporary folder. Introduced in PHP 4.3.10 and PHP 5.0.3.
Please refer this http://us.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
to resolve this error
To resolve this check your php.ini file and check upload_tmp_dir location
upload_tmp_dir = "c:/wamp/tmp" // or whataver desired location you want
It seems there is no value in your php.ini for "upload_tmp_dir".
The value for upload_tmp_dir needs to be set in php.ini
You cannot set this value by using ini_set(). So, you may want to run phpinfo() to check, and if you confirm it is missing (and if you are not allowed to edit your php.ini) you need to speak to the web host and ask them to set a value in your php.ini. They may decline to do so if they wish to disallow file uploads.
I've gone through some of the questions, but haven't found an answer to my question so here it goes.
I've written a stereotypical script for uploading small files. The script works, and the file is uploaded to the server. However, I can't get it to upload it to move to the right subfolder.
<?php
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " MB<br>";
}
if (file_exists("/enhstudios/clients/media/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"/enhstudios/clients/media/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
}
?>
The error I get is:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(/enhstudios/clients/july.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/waloraweb013/b1311/moo.enhstudios/enhstudios/clients/fileuploadcode.php on line 20
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpkfxGLm' to '/enhstudios/clients/july.jpg' in /hermes/waloraweb013/b1311/moo.enhstudios/enhstudios/clients/fileuploadcode.php on line 20
Permissions for this directory are set at 777.
Where have I gone wrong? I've tried all different combos of subdirectories and still can't get it to upload to the right one.
Are you sure you don't mix the /hermes/waloraweb013/b1311/moo.enhstudios/enhstudios/clients and the /enhstudios/clients/ directories?
I think you would like to move to the longer one, but the second arguments first / makes it an absoulte path.
You can add there the full path, or you can try to remove the first /. (This relativisation works only if the document root is /hermes/waloraweb013/b1311/moo.enhstudios/)
Here my code
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["audio"]["name"] . "<br/>";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["audio"]["type"] . "<br/>";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["audio"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br/>";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["audio"]["tmp_name"] . "<br/>";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["audio"]["tmp_name"],
"/var/www/html/mnworld/upload/audiofile/" . $_FILES["audio"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "/var/www/html/mnworld/upload/audiofile/" . $_FILES["audio"]["name"];
I tried to upload file in this (/var/www/html/mnworld/upload/audiofile/) directory but its always empty its not showing any errors. I need to upload this directory
Check the permission of the folder where the files are to be stored is in 777 mode (both Read and write). If not, change the mode to chmod 777. And also make sure that the path to be stored should be correct.
Since you have the correct details. The problem is only the permission of the folder that unables you to move/copy the file.
Use this: chmod 777 /var/www/html/mnworld/upload/audiofile/
I've am trying to set up a small file sharing server on my home's local network and am running into some big problems with the uploader. the step it seems to be failing on is the directory creation step however, when I first posted this there were no errors in the Apache log files however, that turned out to be the result of a permission problem with the lag files.
this are the relevant log entries.
[Mon Mar 25 18:43:05 2013] [error] [client 10.0.0.17] PHP Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /server/upload_movie.php on line 10, referer: http://10.0.0.17/upload_movie.html
it confuses me because I have run
sudo chmod 0777 /server/*
sudo chmod 0777 /server
with /server/ being the rood directory.
my code is as follows
<?php
echo "starting". "<br>";
$allowedExts = array("mp4", "mpg", "avi", "mkv");
$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["uplodedfile"]["name"]));

if(!is_dir($path)){
echo "upload directory not found, creating...";
if (mkdir($path,0777,true))

echo "directory creation complete". "<br>";
}
else
{
echo "directory creation failed at ".$path."<br>";
}
}
echo "checking file". "<br>";
if (false)
{
echo "filetype and size passed". "<br>";
if ($_FILES["uplodedfile"]["error"] > 0)
{

exit();
}
else

exit();
// echo "Invalid file";

the output is as follows

i have tried all the suggestions in PHP mkdir: Permission denied problem and I have selinux turned off. I am using fedora 17. the server is being run on an ext4 partition which contains nothing else.
as was suggested in comments, i tried
$error = error_get_last(); echo $error['message'];
which yealded
Undefined index: file
You seem to have set the correct permissions to the /server-directory. But your server wants to write to the /downloads- directory. You should be up and running with this command:
Sudo chmod 777 /download
Your error message tells everything in it. This is file write permission problem. If you want to write your file in /downloads/movies/unsorted/ then you need to set write permission to this directory for all (777). But you are saying, you already checked permission for the downloads directory, but you might not set permission for recurring directories. So try below command before uploading file.
Sudo chmod -R 777 /download
<?php
$file= $_FILES["file"]["name"];//file selected in form
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"c:/EasyPHP-12.1/www/new website/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "c:/EasyPHP-12.1/www/new website/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
if(($_FILES['file']['size'] >0))
{echo 'imagetrue';$con=mysql_connect('localhost','abc','YES') or die ("con");;
$db=mysql_select_db("website",$con) or die ("db");
$query=mysql_query("insert into website.picture (imagew) values ('$file')") or die('query'); //storing in db}
//echo $_FILES['file']['error'] ;
$query2= mysql_query("select * from website.picture");
$res=mysql_fetch_array($query2);
foreach($res as $row){
$str = "c:/EasyPHP-12.1/www/new website/upload/ ".$row['imagew'];
echo '<img src="'.$str.'" alt="no">' ;}
?>
i am using this script to store image and then displaying it on webpage but it is not working it only displays empty thumbnails...
I'd be very suspect about using absolute paths like c:/EasyPHP-12.1/www/new website/upload/
I'f you're then accessing the page from http://127.0.0.1/new-website (which I presume you are - or something similar) then having windows system pathnames could be a problem - do browsers even read the local filesystem like that ?
Also, it makes it very un-portable for when you move it to another server.
I'd suggest $str = 'upload/'.$row['imagew']; So it's relative to the document hosted in (I presume) 127.0.0.1/new website/image-viewer.php (or whatever you called it)
Check the return value of move_uploaded_file() - if it's false then it has failed. If that's failing try using the relative path :
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
This again presumes your script is sitting in 127.0.0.1/new-website
EDIT - NOTE ::: Is your form using enctype="multipart/form-data" ? If it's not then the images never get to the server !
