Hey everyone, I'm trying to upload files using PHP and I'm using windows, I know it dosnt have CHMOD but is there anyway in which there are permissions I can change so that I can upload files to a certain folder or will I need to install Linux to be able to upload files via PHP.
Thanks

Where is your problem with file uploads?
BTW:
You have read the PHP manual about "Handling file uploads" (Chapter 38)?

No I know I PHP quite well and its something to do with folder permissions as I can upload files when I used a server my friend provided which was Linux, but is there anyway I can get it to work on windows?

There is no difference in the file upload feature bettwen *nix and windows. (Problems with permissions are most seen on *nix.)
BTW:
Without a sample script and/or error messages I can't help you.

Heres the code.
- Code: Select all
<?
if(!empty($_FILES["userfile"])) {
$uploaddir = "/uploads/";
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"], $uploaddir . $_FILES["userfile"]["name"])) {
echo("file uploaded");
} else {
echo ("error!");
}
}

Error message you get in the brower (or what happens during upload)?
BTW:
If you want debug a script, you should add
- Code: Select all
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
after the line with "<?php".
Also the value of $_FILES is interesting here:
- Code: Select all
echo var_dump($_FILES);

This directory "/uploads/" exists?

One test:
Please open a command shell (cmd.exe) and execute this command:
- Code: Select all
dir \uploads\
(then copy 'n paste the result into your reply to this post)

Well...
What did you think. Is:
"C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\katocan\uploads\"
is the same as:
"\uploads\"
(Simply count the chars from the two strings)
