copy() error

[bgdonline]

Hello, im new to php and I would appreciate help with this one....

 

Error code is

Warning: copy() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /path/to/file/http.class.php on line 143

 

Error block

 

			if (count($_FILES) > 0) {
			foreach ($_FILES as $name => $file) {
				if ($file['tmp_name']) {
					$newfile=dirname(__FILE__).'/../cache/'.$file['name'];
					$newfiles[]=$newfile;
					copy ($file['tmp_name'],$newfile);
					if ($file['tmp_name']) $this->post[$name]='@'.$newfile;
				}
			}
		}

 

Line 143

 

copy ($file['tmp_name'],$newfile);

The $_FILES array is multidimensional and looks like this:

 

[key 'xxx'] => {

  [tmp_name] => 'some_name'

  [name] => 'some_name_again'

  and so on...

}

 

When you loop through it, you're referencing keys with the $name variable and values with the $file variable. Trying to access $file['tmp_name'] makes no sense, because $file is a string. That's why copy() is giving an error, because it expects a string.

 

Said that, there's no need to loop through $_FILES unless you have a multiple upload form and for that, you'd have to iterate the array in a slightly different case. If you have just one upload input, just access $_FILES like this:

<?php
echo $_FILES['input_name']['tmp_name'];
?>

 

where 'input_name' is the name attribute of your file input. If you still aren't clear enough, I will give you a full example.

So i need to change line 134 to something like

 

						echo $_FILES['newfile']['tmp_name'];

 

That part is for sending support ticket's if you whan't to see file it's in attachment

 

[attachment deleted by admin]

It's better to use move_uploaded_file for files that have been uploaded.

Still what ever i try result with much more errors

GuiltyGear said something you might not have noticed:

If you have just one upload input

If it does not, if the field has a name like "file[]", then $_FILES is in a different structure than you might expect.

$_FILES["file"]["key, like tmp_name or size"][index number]

Thus you'd need another foreach on $file.

Im definitely idiot.... Still no luck. Aditional info, this error is when sending support tickets on some bridge, with or without ticket attachment there is error

 

 

**edit**

Yeah if i delte that block i get no error :/ that is something, but can anyone help with fix for that block for file upload because obviously i can't make it work ((

[jcbones]

When all else fails, check for expected data.

 

echo '<pre>'; print_r($_FILES); echo '</pre>';

bgdonline: If you're going to PM people asking for (more) help, it would help to see that you have the last reply in the thread.

 

Have you done what jcbones said?

I thought i replyed, net is bugging back here, here is output

Edit when sending support ticket without image attachment i don't have error's but when upload img i get error

It seems like your upload form is an array. Thus the structure of the files array is different from what you expect. Requinix details the structure on his first post in this thread. See that thread for more information. But you are going to have to take this information in mind, and rewrite how you access the details of the uploaded image in your script
