Hi all,

I'm totally puzzled as to how i can fix this problem. It appears to me my web host must have safe mode enabled as i get this error when trying to use move_uploaded_file to put a file onto my server.

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 32310 is not allowed to access /home/martin/public_html/admin/tutorials/PHP owned by uid 99 in /home/martin/public_html/admin/addtut.php on line 47

My upload script uses the following code:

PHP Code:

$filename="".$_FILES["file"]["name"]."";
$tutfilename="www.tornadodesigns.co.uk/admin/tutorials/".$tutcatname."/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]."";
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
  {
  echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
  }
else
  {
  echo "Your file has been uploaded!<br />";
  echo "Upload: ".$filename."<br />";
  echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024 / 8) . " MegaBytes<br />";
  echo "<br>";
  }

if (file_exists("tutorials/".$tutcatname."/".$filename.""))
      {
      echo "".$filename . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "tutorials/".$tutcatname."/".$filename."");
      
      
        // add to the database
        $addtuttodb=mysql_query("INSERT INTO tutorials VALUES (NULL, '$tutname', '$tutfilename', '$tutcatid'");
        if($addtuttodb==0) {
            echo "There was a problem adding the tutorial to the database!";
        } else {
            echo "The tutorial has been successfully added to the database!";
        }
    } 


Please help i'm about to give up with it here!!

Move to some less crappy hosting

Also I can try to guess that you created your directory through ftp, and on your server the ftp daemon and the one who runs php (most likely it is apache) have different uids. So the ftp creates the directory that cannot be then written by apache/php. Create your directories from the script to make it have correct privileges.

It's because the directory was created using php therefore the php interpreter had the writeable owner writes to the directory, so i've had to manually create the directorys and upload the files via the script this works fine like that so am leaving it like that, but i've stumbled on another problem now.

I'm trying to include the uploaded file (html file) into a page using php includes, however the page is just blank after the include.

The script works without the include and the included file is correct and working.

my code for the page is:

PHP Code:


// get tutorial info
$tutorialid=$_REQUEST['tutorialid'];

$gettutorialinfo=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tutorials WHERE tutorialid='".$tutorialid."'");
while($tutorial=mysql_fetch_array($gettutorialinfo, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
    $tutorialfilename="".$tutorial['tutorialfile']."";
    $tutorialcatid="".$tutorial['tutcatid']."";
    $getcatinfo=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tutorial_cats WHERE tutcatid='".$tutorialcatid."'");
    while($cat=mysql_fetch_array($getcatinfo, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
        $tutcatname="".$cat['tutcatname']."";
    }
    $tutorialname="".$tutorial['tutname']."";
    $tutorialfile="http://www.tornadodesigns.co.uk/admin/tutorials/".$tutcatname."/".$tutorialfilename."";
   
}
// Include the tutorial file
include($tutorialfile);


?> 


Any help would be greatly appreciated

you are including a variable, not a file.

yes but the variable defines the location of the file, in any case i've fixed it i just needed to set an absolute path to the file instead of a http path.

Thanks for your help
