Error while trying to upload file to server
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 4:11 pm
Hi there,
I got this code from About.com, but I'm having trouble implementing it... an issue with my php configuration?? ... this is the error:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(uploads/arrow_right.gif) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/testing/upload_image_location_and_data/add.php on line 21
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/temp/phpuzWrQc' to 'uploads/arrow_right.gif' in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/testing/upload_image_location_and_data/add.php on line 21
Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.
and here's the code:
It seems to me that there is an issue with the folder uploads/ but I'm not sure what! Can anyone pinpoint what is going on?
Thanks

Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.
and here's the code:
Code: Select all
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="add.php" method="POST">Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>E-mail: <input type="text" name = "email"><br>Phone: <input type="text" name = "phone"><br>Photo: <input type="file" name="photo"><br><input type="submit" value="Add"></form>Code: Select all
<?php
//This is the directory where images will be saved
$target = "uploads/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);
//This gets all the other information from the form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$phone=$_POST['phone'];
$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']);
// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()) ;
mysql_select_db("employees") or die(mysql_error()) ;
//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `employees` VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$phone', '$pic')") ;
//Writes the photo to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target))
{
//Tells you if its all ok
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";
}
else {
//Gives and error if its not
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
?>Thanks
