[PHP] Upload is not working ( Permission Problem), I tried a number of ways , still no success!!!!!
Hi all, I am still solving my upload script problems. Here is the error Msg: Warning: copy(/var/www/html/upload_files/Default.bk1) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/simple_upload.php on line 77 My Upload Code: $result = move_uploaded_file($temp_name, $file_path); I started to think this is not only PHP , may be Apache problem too. Anyone has some ideas? I have tried to set my upload directory into 777. Even I tried to use sudo , giving apache as root permission and running system command copy the file from the tmp directory to upload_files. but still no success!! I have done some research on web, no one can suggest a solution rather than chmod 777( I did that!) yours, michael -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You could try chown user:group, where user and group are those apache runs in. Is this script running on your own machine, or on a web server hosted somewhere?

Re: [PHP] Upload is not working ( Permission Problem), I tried a number of ways , still no success!!!!!
The directory folder where you upload the file(s) and folder(s) inito must have the ownership of Apache and the permission of 755. Then you'll have no trouble uploading file(s)/folder(s) into it since Apache would have the permission to create the file(s)/folder(s) where none exist or update them only if the file(s)/folder(s) was created by Apache in the past. If those file(s)/folder(s) weren't created by Apache but by you or someone then it wouldn't work because the ownership would be different, you'll need to change the ownership and permission to what Apache can use. This is from what I had noticed and had no trouble with them since then. When I move the files from 1 webserver to another, I alway check the ownership and correct it if it is wrong the first time.

I have done some research on web, no one can suggest a solution rather than chmod 777( I did that!) Does the PHP user (aka the Apache user) have permission to *READ* from and *WRITE* to the TMP directory? You may be attacking the wrong side of the equation. I believe PHP will complain the same way whether it can't read/write /tmp, or it can't read/write to your destination directory. PS For God's sake change your permissions back to something reasonable, and stop running Apache as root, *NOW*. Actually, from a more practical stand-point, *change* your upload destination to some place *outside* the web tree, so that when PHP dumps stuff in there, possibly some stuff you don't *want* in there, possibly because some user is playing games with your site, then you can write some code to examine the content before doing anything with it -- Specifically *before* it ends up living on your public web-server. Example: Bad guy decides your server would be a nice place to upload not a worksheet, but his latest cracked video game or highly-popular software package or, ahem, graphic images. Then *your* server becomes a free source of illegal content, or content you are not in the business of hosting. That's bad.

[PHP] Upload is not working
Hi all, I am implementing a upload file PHP program. The script is not working. it keeps on generating the permission Error. I am not very sure this is PHP or Apache problem. But one things I can sure I changed all upload file dir in 777. Anyone can help? Or are there any people facing this kind of problem too? yours, Michael Leung -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The user running the apache process (apache or www or nobody or whatever)
needs execute permissions ('x') on the destination directory (which you
already have in the form of 777) AND on all its parent directories.

[PHP] Upload script not working
Hi all:
I have the following script to upload files to the server, it works
partially as only a few bytes of the file are uploaded, is the script wrong
or am I missing some setting at the server?
Tia,

// $userfile_name is the original file name without spaces
$userfile_name=str_replace( ,_,$_FILES['userfile']['name']);
// $userfile_size the size in bytes
$userfile_size=$_FILES['userfile']['size'];
//$userfile_type is mime type e.g. image/gif
$userfile_type=$_FILES['userfile']['type'];
// $userfile_error is any error encountered
$userfile_error=$_FILES['userfile']['error'];
if($userfile_error 0){
$str=Problem: ;

I don't notice anything wrong with the script after glancing through it. If
you take out the end portion where you strip the tags from the file, so you
still end
up with a smaller file as a result? Maybe strip_tags() is removing more
content than you think it is? Either way, you're going to end up with a
smaller file.

Hello Jones, thanks for looking at the code, will try the uploading without
stripping the tags, I've tried with pdf files without success.

RE: [PHP] Upload script not working
Hello again, tried to remove the last part and the script worked, it looks
like strip_tags strips more than tags...
Thanks a lot
