i'm having a problem with this script, it runs but when i hit upload, it dosen't save to the folder. i check the path of the folder and it is okey.

dose some one know how to fix it.

oh yeah how can i confg the directory to 777?

Cab:

You're probably right to assume it is a permissions error, it does sound like this is the case.

Your FTP client should have a CHMOD function built-in somewhere, I know with mine (WS_FTP LE) all you need to do is right-click and select CHMOD.

Hopefully allowing write permissions on the folder should solve the error.

the thing is that i'm runing the web server from my computer. the name of the web server is Abyss Web Server i don't think they have ftp

Hi,

To set the chmod 777 for your upload dir for windows environment (I suppose you have that) just right-click the upload folder -> select 'Properties', then select 'Sharing' -> 'Share this folder' -> and finally 'Permissions...' -> click all of the checkboxes.

If you are using linux, than i have no idea. I am sure others will tell you! Ask some of your computer guru friends!

Here is a code for file upload that should work. In case not, consult the php online manual, where there are a lot of user comments on the best methods of file upload.

So, here is the working code:

PHP Code:

<?php





// "/images/" is the way to file upload directory 

// from your webservers document root.

// To see the output dir for this script to save

// your upload file, run this script and look at 'Upload dir:'

// displayed before file upload.



$upload_dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/images/";



?>



<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"  method="post">



Upload dir: <b><?php print "$upload_dir"; ?></b><br/>



  <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="300000000">

  <input type="file" name="upfile">

  <input type="submit" name="resize" value="Upload">

 

 </form>

 </td>

</tr>

</table>

<?

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'], $upload_dir . $_FILES['upfile']['name']))  {

print "Upload success!";

}



?>

The idea is this:
- If no file upload has happened, print form.
- When upload is done, file is uploaded (and checked for the upload at the same time) and success message is displayed.


See, if helps!

Thanks...

[cabj1981]

how can i hide where i'm uploading the images to and the notice.

[alfreds]

About multiple uploads. This is a bit complex, but i made it working when i was doing file upload thing. I will write the code here down soon!

[alfreds]

Here is the code for multiple uploads. put it into a single file and execute it!

PHP Code:

<?php

// Set the upload place, after your document root directory

$upload_dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/upload/";





if (isset($_POST[submit]))  {

    

    // Write as many file upload

    // inputs as user wanted

     $file_amount = $_POST['file_amount'];

    $counter = 1;

    

    while ($counter <= $file_amount) { 

           $foto_input .= "$counter. file: <input name='filename[$counter]' type='file'><br />\n";

           $counter++; 

    }

    

    // Generate an html output

    // where to display the file

    // upload fields

    

    print "<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='$PHP_SELF' method='post' name='upload_form'> 

                 <table width='100%' border='0' align='center'> 

                   <tr><td>

                    <li>Upload path: $upload_dir</li>\n

                    <li>Amount of files to upload: <b>$file_amount</b></li>\n

                   </td></tr>\n

                <tr><td>$foto_input</td></tr>\n

                <tr><td><input type='submit' name='upload' value='Upload Files'></td></tr>\n

                </table>\n

            </form>\n";

} else {

    // Generate the form

    // for user to select how many uploads he

    // wants to do.

    

     print     "<form name='gallery_setup' method='post' action='$PHP_SELF'>" .

              "Number of photos to upload:" .

            "        <input name='file_amount' type='text' id='file_amount' size='10'>" .

            "        <input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='300000000'>" .

            "        <input name='submit' type='submit' id='submit' value='submit'> " .

             "</form>";

}







if (isset($_POST[upload]))  {

        

    // Get the upload file array

    // and upload them to a destination

    // by looping through that array

    

    // Get the variables from previous form

    $up_files = $_FILES['filename'];

    $counter = 0;

    

    // Start the file upload to server

    while($counter <= count($up_files))  {

        

        if($up_files['size'][$counter] > 0) { 

            $filetype = $up_files['type'][$counter];

            $filename = $up_files['name'][$counter];

            $tempname = $up_files['tmp_name'][$counter];

            

            $upload_file = $upload_dir . $filename;

            // Upload the files 

            move_uploaded_file($tempname, $upload_file);

            

            // Print the uploaded file

            print "File <b>$filename</b> uploaded... new location: <b>$upload_file</b><br />";

         }

         $counter++;

    }

// End if upload

}



?>

By the original, I used it for image file upload and thumbnail generation, so do not be confused if you see some variables named after 'foto' and etc.


To cabj1981:
To hide the location and success message simply delete the following line in previous code i posted:

Upload dir: <b><?php print "$upload_dir"; ?></b><br/>

print "Upload success!";


Hope this makes a lot of things clear!
Sincerely,
