file uploads

hey guys, i have a webhosting account with webhostingbuzz.com, and i am trying to do a simple script where you upload a jpeg. when i tried it out, the site gave me this error:
Warning: move_uploaded_file([where i want it to go])[function.move-uploaded-file]:failed to open stream:HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections in [my source file] on line 13.

here is my code:
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {...
thats all thats really relevant- thats line 13. anybody know how to fix? thanks

I haded this error once. I think that it should be something wrong with your target path ($target_path) you have to use local path....

[iochinome]

$target_path is a variable i made- its contents is http://www.domainname.com/pics/[$_FILE['file']['name'] goes here]
i have to do something about "localpath" you say? thx

Are the permissions to your upload directory set to 777 ?
And btw are you trying to upload files to a server other than your own?

[iochinome]

no, this is all on my own server. i will check wether it is set to "777"- thanks

Can we see the entire script please?

[iochinome]

wait- so do i want it to be 777, because it was 755.. ichanged it to test it

[iochinome]

okay, that ended up getting me nowhere. here is the code for the html form where they choose the file:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="mainpicsrcupdate.php" method="post">
<table align="center" bgcolor="green" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="4">
<tr><td>[FILEPATH:]</td><td><input type="file" name="mainpicsrc" id="mainpicsrc"></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="[UPDATE]"></td></tr>
</table>

then here is the mainpicsrcupdate.php relevant part:

$target_path = "http://www.domainname.com/mainpics/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename($_FILES['mainpicsrc']['name']);
if ($_FILES['mainpicsrc']['type'] == "image/pjpeg") {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['mainpicsrc']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {?>
<h1 align="center">[UPLOAD SUCCESSFULL]</h1>
<?PHP }
else { ?>
error occurred
<?PHP
} ?>

thanks

have you tried to change the $target_path :
from

Code: Select all

$target_path = "http://www.domainname.com/mainpics/";

to

Code: Select all

 $target_path = "mainpics/";

it depends where you have your script ex:
if is situated in
http://www.domainname.com/admin/;
$target_path should be :

Code: Select all

  $target_path = "../mainpics/";
