Unable to Upload file with filename with different extention in php
echo basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
// header("Location: EHP_Configuration.html");
} else{
// header("Location: EHP_Configuration.html");
echo "Notdone";
}
i have verified that on Echo it show proper filename
But move_upload give me "Notdone"

Have you got error_reporting on? If so check to see if a warning is thrown, if there is no warning and you're just getting FALSE retruned then PHP doesn't think the file is a valid uploaded file (done via PHPs HTTP POST) if you are getting a warning as well as a return value of FALSE this should give some indication as to what the problem with moving the file is.
May be you have missed slash here:
$target_path . '/' . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
I miss it all the time :)

I am new to this site and i am sorry if anything wrong in my way of asking question.
I want to know about the parameters of $_FILES in php.
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path))
{
//some code
}
By the above code, what is
['uploadedfile']['name'] in $_FILES
also in move_uploaded_file($FILES['uploadedfile']['tmpname'])
what is tmpname?
Please explain in detail. Thanks in advance.
$_FILES['name'] is the Actual file name (as named on your computer).
$_FILES['tmp_name'] is the temporary files name.
You computer automatically creates a temporary copy of the file that you are uploading in a temporary directory.
This is the actual physical file uploaded by your computer.
try this to learn about the content of $_FILES:
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_FILES);
echo '</pre>';
I am trying to upload pictures on my site. However, I am trying to find the correct filepath to the folder I need to send the pictures too. I continue to get a 500 server internal error when move_uploaded_file() is called. I tried playing around with a couple of things, and I believe the problem is that I am not using the correct destination folder.
<?php
$target_path = "G:\\PleskVhosts\\missed-moments.com\\httpdocs\\uploads\\";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
echo $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "<br/>";
echo $target_path;
echo getcwd()."<br/>";
if(move_uploaded_file($_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!";
}
?>
I tried to find the path of the folder I was in by using :
echo $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "<br/>";
echo getcwd()."<br/>";
And then I tried to hardcode the same address with the addition of the folder that I want to save the pictures in it. I was hoping somebody could give me some other suggestions on how to resolve this issue.
Thank you in advance!
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.
PHP Uploading issue Getting Error 0 but move_uploaded_file() is returning false. When I print out $_FILES I get
Array ( [uploadedfile] => Array ( [name] => flashlog.txt [type] =>
text/plain [tmp_name] => /tmp/php0XYQgd [error] => 0 [size] => 3334 ) )
I'm using a basic html/php tutorial which leaves me to believe that it might be a server issue. I check the php.ini and have upload_max_filesize:2M, post_max_size:8M. So I'm really confused as I thought error of 0 told me that it was successful.
The code I'm using is
<?php
// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = 'Test/';
$target_path = $target_path. basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path))
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
echo print_r($_FILES);
}
?>
move_uploaded_file() will also return false if it can't write to the target directory.
Most PHP code I see to handle uploads skips checking some major piece of the process. Upload code should do the following steps:
Check that $_FILES[] exists and the correct entry is populated.
Look in the error field to see if it got to the server at all -- a lot of code just checks that it's 0, which means it can't return any decent error to the user.
Be certain the destination where you need to move the file actually exists.
Call move_uploaded_file() to do the move - too many just do a file copy, which bypasses the security checks that move_uploaded_file() does.
These are discrete steps: as you seem to be seeing, the actual upload can succeed, yet move_uploaded_file() can fail. Your question assumes that if the latter failed, so did the former.
Oh yes: call move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $destination). Using $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] won't work.
I got same error in my project there is not any fault in your code but there is issue in file name like i can't upload image named ("IMAG0889.jpg", "IMAG0892.jpg", "IMAG0893.jpg" etc) it gave me error 0. after rename file like("Deep2.jpg", "IMG_20160925_093715_1.jpg") I successfully uploaded my image file. So try to upload file after rename it.
Change this line ----
$target_path = $target_path. basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
With these ----
$target_path = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'/folder_name/'. $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
This works for me.
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.
