CHMOD Settings For PHP Image Upload


Does anyone know of a way to get past the CHMOD 777 when creating a php image upload? My new host doesnt allow CHMOD 777 and when i attempt to upload a file i get an error saying i dont have permission.

Image Upload Chmod 777
I have a script that allowes people to upload images to a directory on my site. I have had to chmod the directory 777. What are the security risks of that?

Image Upload And CHMOD Problem
I have a script that uploads an image to a directory. The script successfully uploads the image. But the problem is that the Linux server automatically CHMOD's that to 600 and i cannot access the image. The same script works on another linux server.

CHMOD Security Settings
I have a webpage that some hacker managed to load a file onto. My website's help support suggested that I should not use chmod 0777 since it is not secure. However, I need to allow my site's visitors to open files & write information to them.

My question: Is there a setting that will allow site members to create, open, write to, and delete files using my pages but will not allow them to create their own pages outside of my control?

Php Email Attachment, Chmod Settings
I have a php script from Obie (link at bottom) which uploads a file to
the web server, then attaches it to an email, and sends it to a default
recipient.

This program requires setting a directory for the files to reside in
temporarily. What settings should I put this folder to to be most
secure, 755? 750? other? If the user is uploading, is that the
"world" permissions, or is that the "group" or "owner" permissions?
I'm not entirely sure how the upload in this script works, but it uses
the "open()" "fopen()" and "fread()" functions in there.

Include Files Folder - CHMOD Settings?
Currently, I have various php files in my "public" folder on my webserver. I also have "include" php files in a designated folder w/in my "public" folder (i used include("file")

Example: path files

public folder => index.php, products.php, aboutus.php, etc
public folder/include folder => includefile1.php, includefile2.php, etc

what CHMOD settings should i set... so that users cannot directly open my "include" files? and where do i set them? on the "include" folder? on the individual "include" files?

Checking CHMOD Settings Of A Certain File/directory
I know how to set the CHMOD for a file, but does a function exsists where I can see a file's CHMOD settings?

Upload And Chmod
I have been here before a few days ago with a similar problem, but have changed this upload script in the mean time. I'm using WS_FTP LE and have "Read" and "Write" permissions as "Owner" to the directory where the file should be placed.

When I try to upload a correct file, I get the "Could not upload the file"-error message and nothing is uploaded. When I try to upload a file that is e.g. too big I get the right error message and the file is rejected as it should.

I guess problem has something to do with permissions to the file, something to do with changing the files chmod to something (777?) and back (to what?), but how can I do that in the script? I know very little about using chmod (the manual does not help very much on that point, I think). PHP Code:

File Upload Problem, Chmod
i'm having a problem with file permissions of upload, they appear to
be being set to only readable by the administrator, so anyone browsing
the site gets a 403 forbidden error when they try and view the image.

I've tried adding the following line: -

chmod($uploadfile, 444);

and also a few variations on it but to no avail.

Script below: -

if($_FILES['imageloc']['name'] == '') {
echo 'The Small image remains the same or default<br />'
}
elseif($_FILES['imageloc']['size'] > $MAX_FILE_SIZE) {
echo 'The small image you selected is too large<br />'
}
elseif(!getimagesize($_FILES['imageloc']['tmp_name'])) {
echo 'The small image you selected is not a valid image file<br
/>'
}
else {
$uploaddir = '/web/html/images/' // remember the trailing slash!
$uploadfile = $uploaddir. $_FILES['imageloc']['name'];
chmod($uploadfile, 444);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imageloc']['tmp_name'],
$uploadfile)) {

echo 'Upload file success!'
}
else {
echo 'There was a problem uploading your file.<br />'
print_r($_FILES);
}

Image Chmod
When a user uploads an image to a directory, it automatically chmods it to 0, I want 777... How can i do this automatically?

New Server, Upload Script Stops Working.. Chmod() Not Permitted
I have a private video upload script but it isnt working any longer? Php globals are on. I end up getting this error:

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod <http://*****.com/admin/function.chmod> ]: Operation not permitted in /home/v****/public_html/admin/upload_sub.php on line 49

I had hostgator move my files, and nothing in the scripts was changed. How do i fix this??

Viewing Image From A CHMOD Blocked Folder
How can I show an Image that is inside a folder which I've blocked using CHMOD?
The reason I've blocked the containing folder of the Image is so no one could enter the folder's URL and see ALL of the images in it.

For Example: I have a file that is viewing the "Dog" photo from the Blocked Folder "Private_Images". In that case I cannot view the dog's file because the "Private_Images" folder is blocked, but if I will remove the blocking from the folder, then anyone could view all of my other photos.

Modify Image Upload Scripy To MP3 Upload Script

Image Upload Problem - New Image Not Displaying
I have a consistent problem that needs knocking on the head. I have an image upload script that uploads an image and replaces the old image. The image that is displayed is sometimes that old image and the page must be manually refreshed to get the new one. I need the new image to be displayed with out have to manually refresh the page.

So far I have identified the following:

•   Ive been testing in ie and firefox – the problem only happens in firefox.

•   If the upload script is activated more than once it works as desired – but not the first time. I need it to work the first time.

•   I have set the page to automatically refresh. – this works in ie, but firefox still needs a manual refresh.

•   I’ve included the following which makes no difference:

•   header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
•   header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
•   header("Pragma: no-cache");

I successfully uploaded an image onto Mysql (I'm using PHP 4.2.1, APACHE 1.3.26 and mysql). At least I don't get any errors and when I check the table there is an entry.

The image is a jpeg file of size 10kb.

But when I run the php script to display the image, it runs without errors but the iamge displayed is not visible. It has a 'x' in red at the center and a small box. I would presume the image didn't go in properly or I have to resize it while getting back!!!! I have no clue.

description to database for retrieval. Thorough example would be
greatly appreciated.

More PHP Image Upload Problems
Finally figured out what was causing some image uploads issues when php/gd would attempt to resize the uploaded file (jpeg).

It wasn't the size of the image (mb or kb) but rather the dimensions of the picture. For example, an image which was 300kb and 2500 x 2500 pixel dimensions PHP or GD cannot rescale without bytes exhausted error, but a 2mb 1200 x 1200 pixel dimension resized no problem.

How can I fix this issue? Is this a GD limitation or PHP 5.2?

Image Upload And Manipulation
[repost of item originally in alt.comp.lang.php by mistake]

I'm building a new PHP-based site. One of the things I need to do is have
the users upload an image (photo) and then allow them to view it and
position it withing a cropping window of a predefined size so I can then do
the cropping and store the cropped image for presentation in a defined
format at a later time.

I'm looking around for such software and find quite a few products, but not
enough information to know which would meet my needs. I'm not looking for
gallery management or anything. If you have any recommendations on what to
use and, if I'm lucky, a reference to a site where I can see your
recommended software in action, I'd love to hear them.

Image Upload Not Working Why?

CD Image Upload Script?
Has anyone come across a script that will co-ordinate an upload of a cd
image to a php backend? It would be a bonus if it also supported restart
of partially uploaded images. Commercial software is fine for this
application.



Image Upload Problem
I'm having a problem with one of my scripts that is baffling me. I've
already looked at other's coding for image uploads, but i still can't get
this to work...

if ($image) {

echo "Image exists";

$path = "/home/web/union/computerstore/testing/final/";

$tmpfile = $path . $HTTP_POST_FILES['product']['name'][$i];
$newfile = $path . "images/" . $id . ".jpg";

move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['product']['tmp_name'][$i],
$tmpfile);
chmod($newfile, 0664);
exec("/usr/bin/convert $newfile -scale 200x200 $newfile");

}

The submitting form has multiple uploads, and so this code is within a
'while' statement to loop through and process each one of them.

$image returns true because "Testing" is outputed, I can also echo
$HTTP_POST_FILES or any other variable used in the if statement, but as far
as simply moving the file, this is where it doesn't work.

There are no errors or warnings reported whatsoever either.

Can't Upload An Image To Mysql
I made a php scrip to upload image in MYSQL database but can't display it in correct way! I suspect that the files have been written in ASCII mode because I can read text files properly. I made some changes in fopen comand:
