Php Uploading Images

bob2oo7

Hi guys

As part of my website, you are able to upload a profile picture

I have this working locally using WAMP and its working fine

The upload directory is set to "uploaded_files"

My ISP has assured me that everyone has full read/write access to this directory, however when I upload the file, I get the error "receiving directory insuffiecient permission", this message is controled in my php code

The error occurs when trying to move the file to the location using move_uploaded_file

Here is my code, (any help or guidance is greatly appreciated)

<?php

//require_once "header.php";

$username = $_SESSION;

// make a note of the current working directory, relative to root.
$directory_self = str_replace(basename($_SERVER), '', $_SERVER);

// make a note of the directory that will recieve the uploaded files
$uploadsDirectory = $_SERVER . $directory_self . 'uploaded_files/';

// make a note of the location of the upload form in case we need it
$uploadForm = 'http://' . $_SERVER . $directory_self . 'edit-profile.php';

// make a note of the location of the success page
$uploadSuccess = 'http://' . $_SERVER . $directory_self . 'upload.success.php';

// name of the fieldname used for the file in the HTML form
$fieldname = 'file';



// Now let's deal with the upload

// possible PHP upload errors
$errors = array(1 => 'php.ini max file size exceeded',
2 => 'HTML form max file size exceeded',
3 => 'File upload was only partial',
4 => 'No file was attached');

// check the upload form was actually submitted else print form
isset($_POST)
or error('The upload form is neaded', $uploadForm);

// check for PHP's built-in uploading errors
($_FILES[$fieldname] == 0)
or error($errors[$_FILES[$fieldname]], $uploadForm);


// check that the file we are working on really was an HTTP upload
@is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname])
or error('Not an HTTP upload', $uploadForm);

// validation... since this is an image upload script we
// should run a check to make sure the upload is an image
@getimagesize($_FILES[$fieldname])
or error('Only image uploads are allowed', $uploadForm);

//assign the filname with username.fileextension

$uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$username.'.'.pathinfo($_FILES[$fieldname],PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

// setting the variable to be the name of the file rather than the full path
$profilepic = basename($uploadFilename);

// now let's move the file to its final and allocate it with the new filename
@move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname], $uploadFilename)
or error('receiving directory insuffiecient permission', $uploadForm);



// If you got this far, everything has worked and the file has been successfully saved.
// We are now going to redirect the client to the success page.


$sql = ("UPDATE `profile` SET `image` = '$profilepic' WHERE `profile`.`username` = '$username' LIMIT 1");

mysql_query($sql) or die ("Error: ".mysql_error());

header('Location: ' . $uploadSuccess);

// make an error handler which will be used if the upload fails
function error($error, $location, $seconds = 3)
{
//header("Refresh: $seconds; URL=\"$location\"");
echo '<center><table id= "DontWantToHide" class="upload-error">
<tr><td> </tr></td>
<tr><td class="upload-error">Upload Error</td></tr>
<tr><td class="upload-error">'.$error.'</td></tr>
<tr><td class="upload-error">Profile Page is Reloading</tr></td>
</table></center>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=profile.php" />';

exit;
} // end error handler

Maybe try putting this after the line you define $uploadsDirectory:

chmod($uploadsDirectory,0777);

Then at the end of your script put:

chmod($uploadsDirectory,0755);

Also check that the path you are using for the upload directory is correct.

Maybe remove @ from @move_uploaded_file and check your logs to get the PHP error been logged.
