Uploading files

Im want to be able to upload word documents and im using the script below. However its not working and the error message shown below
is displayed.

Whats wrong?

This is the HTML for the form:


<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="upload.php" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000">
<input type="File" name="file" size="30" maxlength="255">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="upload">

This is the php script upload.php:


<?php

if(copy($file, "/big/dom/xsuntopuser/www/files/$file_name"))

{
print("document has been uploaded");
}
else
{
print("document not copied");
}

?>

This is the error message displayed:

Warning: Unable to create '/big/dom/xsuntopuser/www/files/Rosscv.doc': Permission denied in /big/dom/xsuntopuser/www/add_upload.php on line 31
document not copied
upload report
upload tmp file: /big/dom/tmp/phpxRP5LY
file name:
file size: 23040
file type: application/msword

Hope you can Help

You may want to check the permissions on the directory you are trying to upload to. You have to have write permissions on that directory.

what is the scripting of "add_upload.php"?

Cheers People

I didnt have write permissions to the required directory but ive got it sorted now and it works fine.

Thanks for your time

You need to get rid of that in the php2 file name. It seem your on windows and i had the same problem with my scripts. I think the stripslashes() function will work for this

ex. copy(stripslashes($file),"/dir/file");

I never really tried it cuz i just turned on the magic_quotes option

I get rid of all the stuff in the upload_tmp_dir (php.ini) and I replace by a dot .

Now it is working fine
Thanks
