Help getting really simple upload to work

[Brak]

Arrgh, I've read a few tutorials, read a few articles - and in the end it seems that no one really knows the 'right' way to upload images, or a way that works universally. I'm using this code:

    $uploadlocation = ABSPATH . "images/products/";
    $tloc = $uploadlocation . "t/" . $_POST['id'] . ".jpg";
    $floc = $uploadlocation . "f/" . $_POST['id'] . ".jpg";
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thumbnail']['tmp_name'], $tloc);
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES['full']['tmp_name'], $floc); 

$tloc and $floc are correct, when I echo them out I get something to the effect of "/var/www/html/images/products/t/my_unique_id_here.jpg" which is what it seems to me is right. However, nothing is happening. No error. No file upload. HOw do I even begin to figure out what when wrong? Do I need to set some PHP settings somewhere? My server's running Ensim if that makes a difference (sometimes does).

Any help appreciated

You will need to make sure that the permissions are set right. Which means that Internet Guests will need to have the right to write to your upload directory. That is probably the crux of the problem with your script.

You could also add some error handling to your script to make it a bit more intuitive.

both /var/www/html/images/t and /var/www/html/images/f are CHMODed to 755, I have that right - right?

[awasson]

That should be fine. What browser/client are you trying to run the script from? IE, Moz, Firefox?

I just noticed that with Firefox, mine isn't working however in IE it's fine.

try CHMODingthe folder you want to upload to to 777

[awasson]

Actually 755 should be fine. I'll CHMOD 777 while testing if I'm having trouble but otherwise I'd go with 755 or less.

How are you making out?

Not so well =/ Fails in IE as well. I can't get an error, I can't get anything. Is there a way to see if move_uploaded_file actually worked? Or any server settings that may be restricting me?

[awasson]

I think the problem may be with the script.

I can see the move_uploaded_file(); part but not the actual uploading with HTTP. move_uploaded_file only moves files once they have been uploaded in the first place.

CHmod 755 should be fine.

I've attached a really simple php uploading script that you can use as a base to start with. It's renamed to upload.txt and will upload txt, html, gif, jpeg files to a directory above called "source". It's not great but it'll tell you if the upload didn't work.

PS: I think attachments take a while to be authorised so it may not appear immediately.

Well, while I'm waiting for that to be approved, I've re-read those pages again and it seems like mine should work. It say by default, anything sent through $_FILES is uploaded to a temp directory. However, I think I *may* have found the solution, it mentions some stuff about safe mode - and to be completely honest, I'm not entirely sure what it means by it, but I figure that's about the only thing that can be stopping me now.

D'oh! Just fixed my problem =/

Stupid me didn't put in the <form> tag: enctype="multipart/form-data" This causes everything but the file information to be uploaded (i.e. the name, etc). All is working now though Thanks for your help everyone!

[awasson]

Right on!

Now you have to go sweep up all that hair you pulled out over the last few days
I'm glad you got that worked out and in the end it's an easy fix.

Cheers,
Andrew
