I am having trouble uploading a file based on the image directory I need to upload it with ...

here is the original code :

Code: [Select]

<?php
   // Edit upload location here
   $destination_path = getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

   $result = 0;
   
   $target_path = $destination_path . basename( $_FILES['myfile']['name']);

   if(@move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
      $result = 1;
   }
   
   sleep(1);
?>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">window.top.window.stopUpload(<?php echo $result; ?>);</script>

the scripts works like this .. but it uploads it in the directory that this script is in which is here :

/public_html/scripts/upload.php

i need the images to be moved to this path :

/public_html/images/trainerpics/

but I can figure out how to change the script for that ...

   sleep(1);

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">window.top.window.stopUpload(<?php echo $result; ?>);</script>

Why do you access the js window object twice?

Also can you do a var_dump on $target_path please?

Im not sure i didt write the script ...

this works :

$destination_path = getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

but i need it somthing like this :

$destination_path = "/public_html/images/trainerpics/";

but thats not uploading the image .. i am sure my formatting is wrong

using getcwd() will get you the Current Working Directory (cwd)
which is why it uploads to the scripts directory

echo out $destination_path
play around wiath what that outputs to change it

Code: [Select]

<?php
   // Edit upload location here
   $destination_path = getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

   $result = 2;
   
   $target_path = $destination_path . basename( $_FILES['myfile']['name']);
   die($target_path);
   if( move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path) === True ) {
      $result = 1;
   }
   
   sleep(1);
?>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">window.top.window.stopUpload(<?php echo $result; ?>);</script>

What does that output?
