Setting up file uploads with php

jungabunga

Heya guys, i got this simple script to work and now it doesnt.Its far from completed, i know, i just want it to gogogo so i can expand it to include my preferences and a few hidden fields.
I can't tell if i screwed up the code or its a server related problem. here goes....

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  <html> 

<body>

<form action="upload.php" method="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> 

<input type="file" name="file" size="30" /> 

<input type="submit" value="gogogo" /> 

</form> 

</body>

</html>

[PHP]
$uploaddir = "/var/www/html/gallery";
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']))
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$uploaddir.'/'. $_FILES['file']['name']);
};
echo "Completed";

[/PHP]

[PHP]$uploaddir = "/var/www/html/gallery"; [/PHP]
remove "/" from the beginning of the path and put a "/" to the end check it.
[PHP]$uploaddir = "var/www/html/gallery/"; [/PHP]

if your files are listed with gallery folder {all are in same DIR} simply this also work.
but make sure to assign the write permission to the folder if its remote server.

[PHP]$uploaddir = "gallery/"; [/PHP]

thanx for you're input ajax, i tried the different variations but to no avail, (on a remote server btw). it seems such a simple script.

[directories and permissions]

/ -- var -- 755 / www-- 755 / html -- 755 | -- gallery -- 777
| -- form.php -- 755
| -- upload.php -- 755
I just noticed that my phpinfo() returns upload_tmp_dir = novalue but file_uploads = On. is that correct?

Put your form.php,upload.php and gallery in side one dir we will say www dir.then set your variable like this.
[PHP]$uploaddir = "gallery/"; // Note only single "/"[/PHP]

make sure to set 777 for gallery dir and give it a try again.
and remove the file size="30" from the form for now.

thx ajax, but my root.dir is html. i put them i a subfolder, rechecked my permissions, still no go. tried the new path, still no go, tried variations of the path, still no go. its hard to believe it actually worked.

Try this one just execute this after creating directory named myfiles with 777.
put php script and myfiles folder in same place.

[PHP]<?php
$target_path = "myfiles/"; //Directory Name to Upload
if($_POST['upload'])
{
$newName = md5(basename($_FILES['upload_fle']['name']));
$ext = strrchr(basename($_FILES['upload_fle']['name']), ".");
$fullName = $newName.$ext;

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload_fle']['tmp_name'], $target_path.$fullName))
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['upload_fle']['name']).
" has been uploaded with this name : ".$fullName;
} else
{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

}
?>

This script is working in my web server. even your one also working. if it is not working in your end its your bad luck.BTW what type of files you tried to upload.
Don't go for massive files, just upload simple text files first of all. there are limitation for huge files from the php level.
