PHP script file upload issue

[purpleman51]

Hello-

I have a PHP script for uploading files. It uploads the files to the correct directory just fine. But after the upload, the script cannot seem to see the uploaded files. Directory where uploaded files go is CHMOD 775. Uploaded files (image files for this example) are CHMOD 644. What I am trying to do is just display the image on the web page after upload. The "alt" text from the <img> tag is all that is displayed but the image is not. In fact using the full URL to the image does not work. Any suggestions?

Thank you!
Stephen

Is that directory under your public_html? If it is, post your script here, let us take a look at it.

Here is the script:

<?php
if (isset($_POST["sendPhoto"])) {
processForm();
} else {
displayForm();
}

function processForm() {
if (isset($_FILES["photo"]) and ($_FILES["photo"]["error"] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK)) {
if ($_FILES["photo"]["type"] != "image/jpeg") {
echo "<p>JPEG photos only, thanks!</p>";
} elseif (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES["photo"]["tmp_name"], "uploads/" . basename($_FILES["photo"]["name"]))) {
echo "<p>Sorry, there was a problem uploading that photo.</p>" . $_FILES["photo"]["error"];
} else {
displayThanks();
}
} else {
switch($_FILES["photo"]["error"]) {
case UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE:
$message = "The photo is larger than the server allows.";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_FOPM_SIZE:
$message = "The photo is larger than the script allows.";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE:
$message = "No file was uploaded. Make sure you choose a file to upload.";
break;
default:
$message = "Please contact your server administrator for help. Error value =" . $_FILES["photo"]["error"];
}
echo "<p>Sorry, there was a problem uploading that photo. $message</p>";
}
}

function displayForm() {
?>
<h2>Uploadng a Photo</h2>
<p>Please enter your name and choose a photo to upload, then click Send Photo.</p>
<form action="uptest.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div style="width: 30em;">

<?php
}

function displayThanks() {
?>

<p>Here's your photo:</p>

Your script works fine for me. (BTW, you have a typo: UPLOAD_ERR_FOPM_SIZE should be UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE).

You clearly have a permissions problem, I get a "403 Forbidden" when I go directly to http://penguinguy.net/uploads/
- Double check the permissions on uploads, should be 755, no need for 775.
- Perhaps you have a .htaccess in your / and /uploads? If so, what's in them?

Best,

Thank you for looking at it. I went in and changed the the directory permission to 755 and corrected the typo. It now works. Thanks again!!

Any time.
