I have Wamp 2.5 installed on a Windows Vista Home Premium machine. I am running into problems when trying to use the php function my_uploaded_file
Form code: (upload_form.php)
<html>
<head>
<title>File Upload Form</title>
</head>
<body>
This form allows you to upload a file to the server.<br>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="524288" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
upload.php:
<?php
$max_filesize = 524288; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 0.5M
.
// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "C:". DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. "wamp". DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. "www". DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. "uploads". DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
//echo $target_path;
/* Add the original filename to our target path.
Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */
$target_path = $target_path .
basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$filename = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']; // Get the name of the file (including file extension).
if(filesize($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize)
die('The file you attempted to upload is too large.'); // if we upload large file then we get error.
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
// header ('location: whereeveryouwantogo.php')
} else{
if(!is_writable($target_path)){
die('You cannot upload to the specified directory'); // if we have no enough permission then got error.
}
echo "file not uploaded debug info follows".
print_r($_FILES);
}
?>
I get the message "You cannot upload to the specified directory" I have given full permissions to "Everyone" for the uploads folder. I also have messed around with the attrib command and currently have
attrib uploads
return
S C:\wamp\www\uploads
I think it has something to do with the file permissions with Vista, but I'm out of ideas. Any help really appreciated.
Thanks!

Deleted the uploads folder and recreated it and that solved the problem.... maybe there was some spacing issue in the folder name
Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
