Image upload not working

PHP
1

Works locally but not live.
My file location is piercemcgeough.co.uk/com533/wolfhatmartialarts/admin/addproduct.php
And where i want the image to go is piercemcgeough.co.uk/com533/wolfhatmartialarts/images/products/

Warning i get live is:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(…/images/products/wolf - Copy.jpg): failed to open stream:
Permission denied in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/171950/webspace/httpdocs/piercemcgeough.co.uk/com533/wolfhatmartialarts/admin/addproduct.php on line 46

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move ‘/usr/local/pem/vhosts/171950/tmp/phpOWqMkC’ to ‘…/images/products/wolf - Copy.jpg’ in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/171950/webspace/httpdocs/piercemcgeough.co.uk/com533/wolfhatmartialarts/admin/addproduct.php on line 46

And this is my code.


if($_POST['add']){
        $target = "../images/products/";
        $target = $target . basename($_FILES['photo']['name']);

        $pname = $_FILES['photo']['name'];
        $ptemp = $_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'];
        $ptype = $_FILES['photo']['type'];
        $psize = $_FILES['photo']['size'];

        if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)){
            redirect_to('index.html');
        }

Really confused and stuck

1/ Echo out your variables to see what they contain.

2/ This looks like your problem “Unable to move '/usr/local/pem/vhosts/171950/tmp/phpOWqMkC” as the file does not have an extension and it is to much of a coincidence to be a random name starting with php.

Variables are as following

Target: …/images/products/sm-wolf.jpg
pname: sm-wolf.jpg
ptemp: /usr/local/pem/vhosts/171950/tmp/phpWKgPrd
ptype: image/jpeg
psize: 11389

Also i tried the w3schools uploading and it didnt work. Worked locally but not live

As I say this looks wrong “ptemp: /usr/local/pem/vhosts/171950/tmp/phpWKgPrd” Again your tempory file is starting with php.

Have you changed the permissions on the …/images/products/ folder to either 777 or 755 ?

Sorry im a bit of a noob with file uploads. Just have the code from above in the addproduct.php file and want it to locate the image up a level and back into images/products.

No idea about permissions. Im using blacknight hosting

6

Actually im using htaccess to change .php to .html with this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php

7

Do you know if you are on a Windows or Linux server?

8

Well im using apache so im assuming its linux.
Cant figure this out. Head is wrecked

As you say probably Linux

It looks like your problem is a permission one as you have the error "Permission denied ".

I am not sure if moving a file needs the folder permissions changing but I would try changing the permission of products to 777

In your FTP program when you look at the folder it probably has a permission of 644 try changing that to 777 - right click on the foldername - change permission. You may be able to set ti to 757 or 755 if this works.

10

Should i do that to images folder and products folder within it?
