file upload problem

[ljuljacka]

I'm just trying to run a fileupload script from the manual, just to see how
it works, and it won't. I've checked if file upload is enabled and it is.
Also, the file I'm trying to upload is smaller then max. The folder I'm
trying to upload files to is ./ispit1. I always get the "wrong" echo from
the script when I run debug in my editor and when I run it in my browser
(firefox) I get the following message:
"The requested URL /ispit/__URL__ was not found on this server."
The file isn't transfered to tmp directory either.
Any help is welcome.

<form enctype="multip art/form-data" action="__URL__ " method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_ SIZE" value="30000" />
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>


<?php
$uploaddir = './ispit1/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILE S['userfile']['name']);

if (move_uploaded_ file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}
?>

Re: file upload problem

Hey,

Probably just look at the basics first.

you've selected the destination folder to be './ispit1', which is a
relative file path. I would recommend that you provide the script with
an absolute path to the destination so that regardless where you
execute your script from you'll be moving the files into the correct
folder. That'll make debugging the script much easier as you won't be
searching the file system for ispit1 folders ;)

Let us know how you go :)

Re: file upload problem


I guess instead of complaing about it I should of joined the thread back
together like I'm doing now :-( see below for the next installment, hmm I
wonder if this really will stitch the thread back together...like where will
it end up in alt.php...we'll see

Every LAMP server I've worked on doesn't have write file permission to do
the move. PHP always seems to run as 'other' and to allow wriet permssions
on 'other' would not seem to be a good thing. The way I have been able to
do it is by incorporating PHP FTP functions and moving the file with them.

Here's how I debug by putting this at the top of the file posted to right
after the opening php tag:
var_dump($_FILE S);
and see what's happening.
Most likely its permissions though
--------------------------
OK next installment:
2 problems:

"The requested URL /ispit/__URL__ was not found on this server."

you don't know where your directory is (FlungaBunga advice above is good
place to start)

The file isn't transfered to tmp directory either

and the upload doesn't seem to arrive

So to debug the first problem do this:

echo "<br />cwd=".getcwd() ; # show where you are, this'll help u figure
where ./ispit1/ goes to
if ($handle = opendir($upload dir)) { # in php5 use scandir to replace this
block
/* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle ))) {
echo "$file<br />";
}
} else {
echo "<br />could not open that directory<br />";
}

for the second problem use var_dump($_FILE S); on entry to your script to
see where stuff goes.

with those tools and FlungaBunga's advice you should have this solved in
short order. Good luck :-)

Re: file upload problem

first of all tnx for all the help, great people here :)

I tried this code for debuging that you suggested, and on while line I get
this error: "readdir():supp lied argument is not a valid directory resource
in C:\....\ispit\s cript.php"

$uploaddir='isp it1/';
if ($handle = opendir($upload dir)) { # in php5 use scandir to replace this
block
/* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
while (false !== ($file = scandir($handle ))) {
echo "$file<br />";
}
} else {

echo "<br />could not open that directory<br />";
}

so do you see the file upload now when you use var_dump($_FILE S);? as in
have you fixed the first problem?

as for the 2nd:

try this to see if you can see ispit where you think it is
<?php
if ($handle = opendir(getcwd( ))) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle ))) {
echo "$file<br />";
}
} else {
echo "<br />could not open that directory<br />";
}
?>

that should show you if the dir you want is where you want it.
It looks from your code as if the ispit dir is at the same level as your
script but the results of running the other code say it's not.
What does the new code show? is it there? if not then $uploaddir='isp it1/';
won't be valid
if you have your script in say
c:/mysqripts/thescript.php
then your code is now pointing at an upload dir of
c:/myscripts/ispit

I don't think this is a difficult problem...

and please put your reply under here insetad of top posting. |
