No Edwin .. I can't do any thing to that file .. not even from my ftp client .. can't download can't change permissions .. The server is managed by rackspace .. I doubt they would do some thing like running apache as root which I hear is a v foolish thing to do (frankly I don't know how to figure it out myself ..if that is the case .. phpinfo() did not say any thing on that.) A brief restatement of problem File uploaded via HTTP POST to /tmp OK After this I tried the following three things and none worked. a) fopen(/tmp/temp_file_name,rb) FAILED (Operation not permitted) b) copy($tempfile, /place/to/put/uploaded/file) FAILED c) move_uploaded_file($userfile, /place/to/put/uploaded/file) DID COPY BUT file had -rw permissions, and could not open this file either... so back to square 1 The directory in /place/to/put/uploaded/file is mode 777 .

Re: [PHP] file uploads problem
What I don't understand is how can your webserver create a file and then not to have permission to read it. What is your setup? Jaski wrote: No Edwin ..

[PHP] file uploads problem
Hi, (Linux RH 7.1, Apache/1.3.22, PHP 4.0.6). I am trying to write a script to send emails. It needs to support attachments. The point where I am stuck is after the file to be attached gets uploaded to /tmp as /tmp/tempfilename thorough an HTTP POST form. I am not able to open that file directly .. follwing error shows up. Warning: fopen(/tmp/phpOaILXx,rb) - Operation not permitted in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/httpsdocs/lib/email.inc.php on line 254 I tried to copy this file using move_uploaded_file($userfile, /place/to/put/uploaded/file); and here a strange thing happened. The file was successfully copied BUT it had permissions like -rw-- which I interpret as only accessible to root. I tried copy() function instead and it failed. I think I have tried every thing I could think of .. so please HELP :) jaski NP. I am subscribed to the digest version so kindly cc any replies to me as well.

Re: [PHP] file uploads problem
Try:
$upload = /path/to/copy/;
$upload_path = $upload/$file_filename;
if (is_uploaded_file($file)) {
Exec(cp $filename $upload_path);
}
Then you have the file at /path/to/copy/filename, and you can do
whatever you want with it. (I'm assuming the file field of the form is
called file, and that /path/to/copy/ has permissions set so that PHP
can write to it, 777 will work for sure, but I'm not 100% positive which
one would be best due to security and stuff.).

Re: Re: [PHP] file uploads problem
Thanks .. but I think you are saying exactly what I wrote I was
doing .. except that you have used exec(cp $file $path) while I
tried PHP's copy() function .. I don't think that will make a
difference...though will give that a try any way.
Forgot to mention in my previous mail that the directory where I
am trying to copy the uploaded file from /tmp is in 777 mode
already.

[PHP] file uploads problem?
File uploads -was- working. I reinstalled the server with the RedHat packages apache-1.3.14-3.rpm php-4.0.4pl1-3.rpm php-mysql-4.0.4pl1-3 I'm using the same scripts, but file uploads is not working now. Correction... the file uploads to the server, but doesn't view properly when I try to load it in a browser. If I grab it by ftp from the server and view it in Photoshop, it looks fine.

Re: [PHP] file uploads problem?
More info: I transferred an image to the web server via ftp and was able to view it successfully from the web site. Here's an example image that was transferred using a file upload form that won't display properly: http://www.atfantasy.com/attachments/3224/samurai1.jpg When you try to view it, it just displays a box with a small x, as if the image wasn't there.
