Hi I've got this file upload for a site, it puts the files in to a directory on the site called /f/sf (thats the path from the route folder) well it should do that at least but for some reason it doesn't upload them and I cant figure it out!

Also I know there's a line which connects to a database but that works correctly I know because the details of the file are being posted in to the database, so i figured the PHP section is the best place to come!

Here's the code

PHP Code:

<?php

//Checks if there is a login cookie

if(isset($_COOKIE['******']));

else{header( 'Location: http://www.****.php?error=Sorry+please+login' );

}



//This is the directory where images will be saved

$folder = "f/sf/";



//This gets all the other information from the form

$name=$_COOKIE['*****'];

$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']);

$ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');







//This function separates the extension from the rest of the file name and returns it 

function findexts ($filename) 

{ 

$filename = strtolower($filename) ; 

$exts = split("[/\\.]", $filename) ; 

$n = count($exts)-1; 

$exts = $exts[$n]; 

return $exts; 

} 



//This applies the function to our file 

$ext = findexts ($_FILES['photo']['name']) ; 



//This line assigns a random number to a variable. You could also use a timestamp here if you prefer. 

$ran = rand () ;



//This takes the random number (or timestamp) you generated and adds a . on the end, so it is ready of the file extension to be appended.

$ran2 = $ran.".";



//This combines the directory, the random file name, and the extension

$target = $ran2.$ext; 



// Connects to your Database

mysql_connect("***") or die(mysql_error()) ;

mysql_select_db("****") or die(mysql_error()) ;



//Writes the information to the database

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `file_sf` (name, ip, photo, target) VALUES ('$name', '$ip', '$pic', '$target')") ;



//Writes the photo to the server

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $folder))

{



//Tells you if its all ok

header( 'Location: http://www.****.php?read=File+uploaded+successfully' );

}

else {



//Gives and error if its not

header( 'Location: http://www.******.php?read=Sorry,+there+was+a+problem+uploading+the+file.+Please+try+again');

}

?>

Just to clarify that code should do all the following
- rename the file with a random number to prevent files with the same name being over written
- then post this random name (with the file extension on the end) to the database < this works currently
and upload the file to the directory

Thank in advanced, Tim

Instead of rand, you could use: PHP: tempnam - Manual

Try using

PHP Code:

$folder.=$target; 

, because I think $destination of the function call must be a filename, not a directory.

PHP: move_uploaded_file - Manual

If that doesn't work, make sure you are pointing to the directory correctly. A test file in the upload directory with:

PHP Code:

<?php
echo 'Script Path: ' . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '<br/>Absolute Path: ' . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] . '<br/>';
?>

should tell you.

If that doesn't work, check to make sure your server allows uploads via php. (should tell you in php_info())

We would need to see some code to see where you went wrong. Make sure you follow the upload examples given at PHP: move_uploaded_file - Manual
