Help With This Uploading Script?

[MrLogic]

Im trying to make a uploading script and it uploads,just doesnt show the uploaded pic.Heres the code:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100" />
What Do You Want To Upload? <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

Any help appreciated!

Showing the HTML form won't help us one bit. Show the PHP portion that handles the POST method.

Post uploader.php

Post uploader.php

<?php
$target_path = "./uploads/";
 
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>

Did you set permissions of your uploads folder to 777?

Use FTP and set all permissions to 777. Don't know how? Download FileZilla or

You must be registered for see links

then google it.

You can do it in cPanel. 777 means all permissions are set, you can read, write and execute scripts which is what you need for an uploading script, you want all 3.

It's actually more secure to use 755 instead of 777 (depends on Apache setup really).

I'll take a look at this script later.

Now that I reread what you were asking, you can see why it doesn't show the uploaded pic by this part:

echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
    " has been uploaded";

All that's doing is showing the filename that was uploaded. If you wanted to show the image, you would need to use something like:

<img src="

echo 'basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); ?>" />

Yes of course it is, but he wants to be able to upload files to the directory, so it has to be set to 777 so he can 'write' to the directory.. as in put files there.

That's why I said it depends on the Apache setup really

If you are running mod_suphp (have PHP running as CGI), then you can only use 755 because you are writing to the directory as the owner (instead of as the Apache user). suPHP is actually more secure and flexible and will give Internal Server Errors if you chmod a directory to 777.
