move_uploaded_f ile() problem.

Hello everybody,

I am using move_uploaded_f ile() in a form to handle image uploading,
and it worked just great when I was testing locally in my computer.
After uploading the file in my host provider I get a warning (not an
error) "Permission denied" to move the temporary file to folder I
want.
Should I email the provider or it's somewhere else the problem?

Any help is welcome!
Thanks a lot for your time, I appreciate that.

Hi,

The folder your are moving to is the problem.
That folder needs to be writable for the user that runs PHP.

If you are on Linux, that user is often named www-data, or nobody, or
Apache.
If you are silly and run W$ OS with IIS as webserver, the user is named:
IUSR_<machinena me>

Just make sure they may write in your targetfolder and your are fine.

Good luck!

Regards,
Erwin Moller

In addition to Erwin's reply, in my case the open_basedir restriction
added to the problem: the 'final' upload folder should be one 'under'
the basedir, if it's set at all of course.

If open_basedir is set to a dir under the wwwroot a security concern
arises: since the apache server has to be able to write in the dir, in
principle ANY server-parsed script run on the machine can
write/read/modify/delete stuff in the dir.

Hi, I am using Mac os10.3.3, running Apache and PHP 4.3.6 I am just starting to use my local Sites folder to test php for my sites, but I cannot seem to get move_uploaded_file() or copy() to work. I assumed it was a file path error, but after trying every possible file path combination, I dont think it is. I feel I have not done something to php or apache to handle moving files locally.

hi, I would like to upload a file (via a form), then read that (temporary) file and write the contents into a database. The first problem is that open_basedir=/home/CUSTOMER so I can't just read it from /tmp. That's why I used move_uploaded_file() to move the file to /home/CUSTOMER/DOMAIN/tmp/FILENAME: ======================================================

HI all, I have created a script that allows a user to upload a picture. I have an IIS server runing on my own pc but the actual site runs an Apache server. The upload script worked perfectly on my IIS but refuses to work on the Apache. All I know is that the script stops working at move_uploaded_file() function. The warnings echo'ed are: Warning: move_uploaded_file(images/nieuws/TIDEEY%7E1.jpg): failed to open

Hi I am moving a site to a new server, I have been testing it and one of the pages uses move_uploaded_file, but I get a Permission denied. The directory I am moving it to is chomd of 755, if I change it to 777 it does upload but the owner is www-data, but I then can't download it using a FTP client (which I have to do) as it's the wrong owner, so I have to leave the chomd as 755, but

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
