I can't think of anything clever to say other than this thread is for programming or graphic design talk or any other highly nerdy subjects.

ok, so I am writing this function in php where the user enters in a name for a folder that will be created by the function and uploads a file to the folder that was just created. Ok, so i am able to make the folder but the file wont move into the folder, it just stays in the root program directory. I have been pondering over this for awhile and havent been able to get it to work yet. Here is a link to the files with my script. any suggestions?

Is the uploads folder also chmodded 0777?

Also are you really using PHP4? I'm so sorry if you are.

Well, the code I am using is straight from php.net/filesystem, and I am using InstantRails version 2 so there might be a chance it could be php4.

I thought the chmod was running with the mkdir function

mkdir("uploads/" . $jobName, "0777");

but I will try running chmod on that folder before I move the uploaded file.


edit, I just reread what you posted and I didnt chmod the folder. I guess that will be the first thing I will try out.


thanks.

You might as well of written that in French, since it makes no sense to me.


Ima gonna go play warcraft or something that I do understand.

Graphic design is a very nerdy subject especially if you are talking about vectors, pantones/hex color codes, or doing some of the special features in photoshop/illustrator/gimp. it is something that a normal joe cannot do without alot of studying or reading guides.

They're Unix tools, and they're found in pretty much every decent operating system. Windows users can even use them via Cygwin.

As for Linux or Unix being a waste of time, try telling that to IBM, Sun, or Apple; better yet, try running a web server with more than two weeks of uptime.

I tried throwing in a chmod 777 on the root folder of the script and it didnt help.

would it be easier to have the browse box just copy the file and place it in the new folder?

well maybe it's not very nerdy to me 'casue i understand it a little bit but still the art part of grafic design takes the edge off from the nerdy part

Try changing $HTTP_POST_FILES to just $_FILES, register_globals might be turned off.

Computer scientists care about stable and secure operating systems? This is such a shocking revelation

Hey guys I see you're talking about programming and stuff, I just want to let you know that computers are gay and I like dicks in my mouf

I got it to work. I didnt echo my variables to see what was being stored. I can't believe I never thought to do that. my target path was uploads/testFile.txt instead of uploads/$jobName/testFile.txt. Now I need to figure out what I want my program to do next. thanks

What are you programming, Tom?

I work for a printing company and I am writing a program that will format the files we use for the printing presses automatically.Its kinda hard cause I am just starting out and I am relearning some languages.

Sounds like you know quite a bit about it already, though. You all might as well be speaking Russian to me.

Ironically enough, the guy whom I replaced was in fact russian.

well, my deal is that I have only been doing theoretical and havent done anything in the real world other than my own websites. My last job promised that I would be given a chance at doing that and my coworker was extremely willing to give me some work and go thru it with me until I got the hang of it, but my boss didnt want to spend the money for me to learn it. He just had me out doing work he didnt hire me to do.

What kind of work do you do again? was it a game tester?
