Question

ho everyone i am trying to upload images but i got a warning that i didn't understand

here is the code

// print out contents of $_FILES ARRAY

print "Print out of the array of files: FILES <br>";

print_r($_FILES);

print "<br><br>";

$F1 = $_FILES["fname"];

print_r($F1);

print "<br><br>";

// 0 means a successful transfer

  if ($_FILES["fname"]["error"] > 0) {

    print "An error occurred while uploading your file";

    exit(0);
  }

// only accept jpg images pjpeg is for Internet Explorer.. should be jpeg

  if (!($_FILES["fname"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")) {

    print "I only accept jpg files!";

    exit(0);
  }

// divide size by 1024 to get it in KB

 if ($_FILES["fname"]["size"] / 1024 > 50) {

    print "Your gif file is too large! Less that 50KB please!";

    exit(0);
  }

// check that file is not already there in your uploads folder

  if (file_exists("Uploads/" . $_FILES["fname"]["name"])) {

    print "$F1[name] already exists. Choose another name for your file.";

    exit(0);
  }


// move file from temp location on server to your uploads folder

  **move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fname"]["tmp_name"], "Uploads/".$_FILES["fname"]["name"]);**

  print "Stored in:"." Uploads/".$_FILES["fname"]["name"];


// save location of upload to text file uploads.txt for later use

$datafile = fopen("uploads.txt","a");

flock($datafile,1);

fwrite($datafile, "Uploads/".$_FILES["fname"]["name"]."\n");

flock($datafile,3);

fclose($datafile);

Answer 1

2 things come to mind.

1. Try using a path like

   $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/path/to/file.jpg');

2. Then make sure the uploads folder exists in the root folder of your site

Answer 2

The directory "Uploads" does not exist or you don't have sufficient permissions to write to it.
