hi all

i am uploading an image on live linux hosting server and getting the below error

Warning: move_uploaded_file(../graphics/home_bigad2.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/gads/public_html/vineet/admin/add_special_offer.php on line 12

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpXjKkp7' to '../graphics/home_bigad2.jpg' in /home/gads/public_html/vineet/admin/add_special_offer.php on line 12

This is my php code

<?php require_once("../config.php");

$msg="";

if(isset($_REQUEST['submit']))
{
$loc=$_REQUEST['offer_loc'];
$path=$_FILES['offer_image']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['offer_image']['tmp_name'], "../graphics/" . $_FILES['offer_image']['name']);


$qry="insert into special_offers(location,offer_image) values('$loc', '$path')";

if(mysql_query($qry))
$msg="Offer Inserted successfully";
else
$msg="Error Inserting Offer";
}

?>

Do you use an FTP for your site files - if so, what FTP program, or are they stored locally on your computer?

If they're stored on your computer, you can right-click a folder or file, select properties, and then, from the security tab, change it's permissions. - This is for Windows.

My FTP allows me to do the same thing; right-click the folder/file I want to edit, then change the permissions from their.

hi markus

just a question in my mind that

will changing permission harm my server or website security in any way.
