file upload fail

Post by Gregor386 »

As it seems files dont exist when I try to write them to my dir.

I'm using wamp (because there are problems with bridged network for my ubuntu virtual server, whuptifrigindu)

Pages copied from PHP example of uploading->http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.f ... method.php

Code: Select all

<!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below -->
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="__URL__" method="POST">
    <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field -->
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
    <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array -->
    Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
    <input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>

Code: Select all

<?php
// In PHP versions earlier than 4.1.0, $HTTP_POST_FILES should be used instead
// of $_FILES.
 
$uploaddir = '/var/www/uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
 
echo '<pre>';
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
    echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
    echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}
 
echo 'Here is some more debugging info:';
print_r($_FILES);
 
print "</pre>";
 
?>
 
Output
Warning: move_uploaded_file(/var/www/uploads/file.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Wamp\www\upload_file.php on line 9



Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'D:\Wamp\tmp\php90C1.tmp' to '/var/www/uploads/file.txt' in D:\Wamp\www\upload_file.php on line 9

Possible file upload attack!
Here is some more debugging info:Array
(
[userfile] => Array
(
[name] => file.txt
[type] => text/html
[tmp_name] => D:\Wamp\tmp\php90C1.tmp
[error] => 0
[size] => 455
)

Well the error is pretty self explanatory. Are you sure that you have a /var/www/uploads/ directory on your WAMP (Windows) box?
mysql_function(): WARNING: This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQLextension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information.

tyvm

Somehow I missed the obvious, prolly because of my win32 coding background where an simmilar error would be given if file you're copying doesnt exist.

Again, thanks!
