I've done your standard checks (is the directory there, are lax enough permissions set), and I'm pretty sure I've covered your standard stupid human tricks. Here's the code that's failing:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image1']['tmp_name'], "/public_html/flashsale/assets/img/products/T".$_FILES['image1']['name']);
The directory is there - I copied the path from FileZilla. I even set the permissions to 777, both in FileZilla and in the file manager on the HostGator control panel. This code generates two warnings:
Message:
move_uploaded_file(/public_html/flashsale/assets/img/products/Tsirloin.jpg)
[function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or
directory
Message: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to
move '/tmp/phpI5GZ3S' to
'/public_html/flashsale/assets/img/products/Tsirloin.jpg'
In that order. So, the file is being uploaded, the directory exists and is set to 777, what else could I be missing?
you do not need to put the full directory to the file. try to remove /public_html/flashsale/
from your link and see if that will work.
In addition, the file does not need to have 777 permission, I myself upload files to folders with 755 permissions.
also, you can use getcwd();
in the directory your aiming to. the function will give you the directory that you need to use for moving your file. source
The Problem
$dirpath = dirname(getcwd())
This is what I used initially to get the directory path to my /public_html/upload folder. $dirpath will contain
/public_html/upload
The Solution(On server)
$dirpath = realpath(dirname(getcwd()))
Since I’m on a shared hosting environment, the right way of getting move_uploaded_file to work is using this as the destination:
realpath(dirname(getcwd())) returns something like:
/home/cpanelusername/public_html/upload
Make sure the path you are traversing. public_html is not required
$image=basename($_FILES['file']['name']);
$image=str_replace(' ','|',$image);
$tmppath="images/".$image;
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$tmppath))
{
echo "success";
}
else
{
echo "fail";
}
Hope this helps
For Ubuntu 14.04 with XAMPP, I also have problem with upload but after I have fixed with sudo chmod -R 777 destination
, it works well.
Here is what I did:
Temporary folder to upload in my Ubuntu 14.04 XAMPP is /opt/lampp/temp/. If I want my upload files to /opt/lampp/temp/testupload
as destination folder, then I need config bellow.
Go to temp folder
cd /opt/lampp/temp/
Create 'testupload' folder under /opt/lampp/temp/
sudo mkdir testupload
Change permission 777
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/lampp/temp/testupload/
PHP code
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "/opt/lampp/temp/testupload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])
Solution for Windows and ISS:
The IUSR account needed permissions in the destination directory. Not the ISS_IUSR account, just the IUSR account.
