Hi all,
I have been working on a GUI web photo album for *nix. I had thought it
might be workable for users to
open a browser based FTP session to upload pics to a newly created album
directory. The problem I am having is
opening the FTP session in the new folder. I.E. we have just created
images/myAlbum1. Using realpath(.) we get
/home/someUser/public_html/images/myAlbum1 . Unfortunately the browser
based FTP wants the site root not the server root
and the connection fails.
Is there a reliable way to determine site root from path?
I don't want to regex the path for /www and /public_html, seems like that
would be rash...
Advice?
TIA,
jg

Instaead of using FTP functions, why not just upload it and copy it to the
desired folder?

Here's a thought: use ~someUser
You might need to give some thought as to how ~someUser resolves on FTP
versus http?
On http, as you mentioned, it should be: /home/someUser/
Another thought is just to login to FTP and find the corresponding path
prefix for each users home directory, but it sounds like you may have
already investigated this?
I also seconding the other poster's thought about using PHP uploads - keeps
it in the family.
Cheers,

I had consider using PHP file uploads and certainly that could be done. My
thought is that I want to enable my users to batch upload
many images at once and I thought if I could either pop an FTP window or
better yet open one in an I-frame this would make less web-savvy types like
the app better.
Thanks for the replies.
Perhaps I need to ask for the FTP username and password in the application
set up and use them to get ftp_pwd() to give me what I need.
