Topic: [SOLVED] permissions problem with imagejpeg()

[evanct]

I have this function that creates thumbnails from uploaded images. It works fine until it hits imagejpeg():

"Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open '../users/evanct/57fc1272653226e790ae7e2e78705e3d/thumbnail' for writing: Permission denied in C:\Apache2\htdocs\fileservice\core\upload.php on line 32"

which is odd because I checked the permissions of the thumbnail directory and it's 0777, just as it should be. i even set its parents to 0777 to be sure, but i'm still getting the error. anyone know what the problem might be?

also happening with move_uploaded_file and the parent dir (../users/evanct/57fc1272653226e790ae7e2e78705e3d). this is frustrating.

I'm confused, the error you receive provides a Windows file path, but you say the permissions are 0777, which are unix file permissions.  Are you on a *nix or Windows machine?

[evanct]

Well, by 0777 I just meant that full permissions were enabled for all users.

Perhaps you should check to make sure your file path is correct.  You can do that using the file_exists() method.

Code: [Select]

<?php

if (file_exists('../users/evanct/57fc1272653226e790ae7e2e78705e3d/thumbnail'))
{
    die('yay');
}
else
{
    die('epic fail');
}

Actually earlier in the code I already had a check to see if the directory exists, and if not, create it. it's definitely there.

Oh that was careless of me. I had simply forgotten that you need to add to the path the filename you want the file saved as.
