upload files frustration

[dandan2907]

Hi all
I am trying to upload images to a remote server and it fails all the time.
My $_FILES array looks as follows
[php]
[thumbnail] => Array
(
[name] => 01.jpg
[type] => image/jpeg
[tmp_name] => d:\upload_tmp\p hp5F90.tmp
[error] => 0
[size] => 1268
)

[bigPic] => Array
(
[name] => 01.jpg
[type] => image/jpeg
[tmp_name] => d:\upload_tmp\p hp5F91.tmp
[error] => 0
[size] => 1268
)
[/php]
It contains both pics I want to load and it seems Valid(no error flag)

The upload file is called "http://www.o-shan.com/DBImages/eYkrAkfFHFyNybz Q8Nfn.jpg"

meaning I use the command
[php]if (move_uploaded_ file($_FILES[$fieldName]['tmp_name'], $uploadfile))[/php]
Sending the tempfile to the mentioned location

The condition statement always fails!!!!
(The permissions are fine)
Any ideas?
How can I debug it?
Tnx
Danny

It'd be nice to see the rest of your code...

Sure mate

The following is the code for extracting the data from the file control:
($data['name'] is the text in the control itself)

function getData($data,$ fieldName)
{
global $uploaddir,$db;

//Get data from the file control
$imageName = $data[name];

//a new image is set and waiting in the file control
if ($imageName)
{
//get the image type
$arr = explode('.',$im ageName);
$imageType = $arr[count($arr)-1];

//create a file name
$fileName = generateRandomN ame(20).'.'.$im ageType;

//create the file name with full path
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $fileName;

echo is_uploaded_fil e($_FILES[$fieldName]['tmp_name']).'<br>';
print_r($_FILES );
echo "<br>$uploadfil e";
//move file to new location
if (move_uploaded_ file($_FILES[$fieldName]['tmp_name'], $uploadfile))
{
echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";

//insert file data to images table
$fieldNameArr = array();
$fieldValsArr = array();
array_push($fie ldNameArr,'file Name');
array_push($fie ldValsArr,'"'.$ fileName.'"');

$db->insert('images ',$fieldNameArr ,$fieldValsArr) ;
}

else
{
echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
return NULL;
}
return '"'.$fileName.' "';
}
else
return NULL;
}
}

Any ideas?

Adding code tags (please remember to use these...)
[php]
function getData($data,$ fieldName)
{
global $uploaddir,$db;

//Get data from the file control
$imageName = $data[name];

//a new image is set and waiting in the file control
if ($imageName)
{
//get the image type
$arr = explode('.',$im ageName);
$imageType = $arr[count($arr)-1];

//create a file name
$fileName = generateRandomN ame(20).'.'.$im ageType;

//create the file name with full path
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $fileName;

echo is_uploaded_fil e($_FILES[$fieldName]['tmp_name']).'<br>';
print_r($_FILES );
echo "<br>$uploadfil e";
//move file to new location
if (move_uploaded_ file($_FILES[$fieldName]['tmp_name'], $uploadfile))
{
echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";

//insert file data to images table
$fieldNameArr = array();
$fieldValsArr = array();
array_push($fie ldNameArr,'file Name');
array_push($fie ldValsArr,'"'.$ fileName.'"');

$db->insert('images ',$fieldNameArr ,$fieldValsArr) ;
}

else
{
echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
return NULL;
}
return '"'.$fileName.' "';
}
else
return NULL;
}
}
[/php]
Now i shall have a look through.

Can you re-explain the problem?
Try and be concise and precise.

Also, do you get any errors?

Thanks for the patience
My problem is that I don't have any indication for any problem on script.

I get a temporary file path on the "$_FILES" array.

Still the move_uploaded_f ile command fails - It returns False and does not upload the files to my desired directory.

If I had any error notification I could try and fix it.

The above code should work. Has anyone encountered similar problems and managed to solve them?
Thanks
Danny

Hi
I have solved it but in a very wiered way.
I am using relative path - ../DBImages instead of a standard url.
It works and can suffice but if you have a clue of what is going on I would be happy to hear (I think there is a way of configuring the path on server)
Yours
Danny

You'd be able to upload files to any server if you used direct urls!
(or atleast try :P )
