I Can Upload Files Anywhere Except My Remote Root Folder
Im working on a project with PHP that allows users to upload pictures to my server and then reference them. After going through some uploading tutorials I have the uploading part working Except! I cant upload folders to my remote root folder. I need to allow the users to upload somewhere inside the root folder so they can reference the pictures in code after.
Just to clarify the uploading works perfectly if I put the uploads folder anywhere on my computer except the sites remote root folder (or anywhere inside the root folder)
I also beleive I am giving the folder all of the proper permissions because I am giving the uploads folder in my root directory (the one that doesnt work) the same permissions as the one outside the root (the one that works) Code:

Root Of Folder App Files
While I know putting a app into a folder was chiseled out of fine scottish granite and carried upto the top of ben nevis by php newbies many years ago - I dont think a folder is the best way to do it . The fact a script is in a folder means certain instant problems if you want to do certain things with . Assuming a script doesnt have index.php and all the script files have a filename prefix like phpgb_ then theres no chance of them clashing with anything else and theres no real reason to continue using a folder for the main script files . While the script will have a app folder for various things - does it make any sense not to use the root because of a single solitary file called index.php . phpgb_index.php is what I use and the method hasnt brought up a single problem of any shape or description . Gas lighting was once what everybody thought was the best way of doing it until that darn new fangled electricity came along .
The Root Folder
I've a web site in the address http://mySite.com in the root, I've a file index.html I've some subfiolders insid root/sub1/sub2 I like to add an html file (or php) index.html that call the index.html of the root (in order to protect) Now I've created 2 different index.html because I use relative path to design the root (../index.html and ../../index.html) I like to have the same file in all folders,but I don't know how to call the root folder.

Accessing Files Outside Of The Web Root
Anyone got any pointers for a script and/or advice for accessing files that are outwith the root directory. I am using Apache on WIN2K Server (a box which is also running IIS on port 81). I want user to be able to select a file and have a script verify their security clearance level (although I have this part worked out already) and then to supply a relative url from the web page they are on - out of the web root - to the file in question. I have been toying with the 'realpath' function but to no avail thus far. I have tried using the path: ../../../files/{filename} where the path to the web root (from the page in question) is ../../../ on my notebook (running WINXP Pro and same version Apache and PHP this works fine) but on the production server it cannot find the path outwith the server root.
PHP Files Only Run In Root Directory?
I've installed a php forum script under a directory named 'forum', the script ran with no problems untill about a week ago, but now I get the following error: 'You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server.' Its has nothing to do with CMOD, I've tried that. Worst still it's not just the forum it's any PHP file thats under a directory. The thing is, I can run a PHP file from the root directory, but for some reason can't run the same file under another directory. eg www.mywebsite/testfile.php --- will work fine www.mywebsite/newdirectory/testfile.php --- causes permission error Could it be a .htaccess problem? Heres my error log report: Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /home/mywebsite/public_html/forum/index.php P.S The forum script dosn't use CGI?
.tmp Files Being Placed In The Root Directory By The 100's, Want It To Stop
Hi folks, I have a bit of a problem, perhaps one of you knows what is going on. According to the sys admin at my ISP, something from my site (which is entirely php) is saving 100's of tiny files with the extension .tmp into the root directory on the server where my site is located. He doesn't know very much about PHP and neither do I (this is the first site I've ever produced using it) so neither of us knows what could be causing it, there is one other site hosted on that server that is running PHP and it is doing the same thing, although the lion's share of temporary files are coming from my site. I have a copy of the php.ini file that he emailed to me this morning, if it would help to post it please let me know and I will do so. We are not sure what is going on, but we would like to know if there is some way to make it stop (or at the very least, to get these files to destroy themselves once they're no longer usefull) Also: I would like to thank SilkySmooth for his mail script, I used it awhile back and it got the job done. Thanks so much!
Executing System Files Deep In The Root Tree
I am running on an linux box with ensim webppliance. Ensim is really cool because it has a hold folder of files that perform different tasks that you would normally do from the interface. My problem is, i don't want to do them by hand, i want one of my PHP scripts to executre them and return the results. Now, there are a few problems, like you have to be root to run these scripts, cus they are in /usr/local/bin. I tried shell_exec, and exec, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this correctly.
Upload Folder
I have this code: $uploaddir = dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) ."/Images/"; and it uploads the image to /admin/images/ as the page i'm running it from is in the admin directory. I've tried just using the http:// and it doesn't like it. Could someone please tell me how i can make it upload the image to /images/ instead of within the admin folder.
Upload To Specific Folder
I am working in a directory: /www/domain/ and made the directory /www/domain/images/ What I need is for people to be able to upload images to this folder from a form on upload.php They should click browse and select their file to upload then press the "Upload" button. On the next page I want to display the .jpg or .gif that they uploaded. What is the coding for uploading that should go into the first upload.php script and the coding for the upload_result.php script. I think that the result could be: echo "<img src="images/$file">"; where $file = the image they uploaded. But I cannot seem to figure out what the first code should be.
Any Way To Upload Entire Folder?
I'm currently working on a little program that will allow different departments within where I work to upload videos (like training videos or safety videos) and then keep track of who watches them. My guess is that I'll do most of the uploading myself, but I wanted to make it such that I can give anyone access to the upload script so they could do it themselves. Anyway, we (at the office) all agreed that Flash is the best format for security and ease of distribution. We went out and got a program that will allow conversion of video files to flash and also allow them to have a nice table of contents and controls. The biggest problem is that for the TOC and controls to work on the flash videos, the program creates a friggin mess of files that all relate to each other... and this screws up my 'easy' upload idea. There's no way for this program to create a nice single .swf or .fla that has all the controls and TOC built in, at least not that I've found. :( Is there any way, other than zipping up a directory and writing an unzipper for the server side, to allow a user to specify a directory where the video resides and just up the whole thing intact? If not, I suppose I'll have to settle for the single .flv file that is created and dump the controls and TOC... though that's part of the reason we bought this converter program. I'm trying to write it in such a way that it will also play mpegs and avi files down the road if that's what the department has, but to start out we're asking that they send us the movie file so we can convert it to flash.
Upload And Resize To Folder
What I have here is an image upload and resize form. I do not want to maintain aspect ratio as I am using this in a slideshow, so I want to maintain exact width and height with all images.

Can PHP Upload Outside Websever Folder?
I've built a photo database on the intranet with PHP and MsAccess database. I've completed the application with http upload. All works fine untill i found out that upload works only in webserver folder. Which means the files cannot be uploaded into another drive on my web hosting computer. The problem is the hard-disk size of my webserver partition will not be enough for the photos in the future. Anyone have a solution to this? I want a php script that can upload files to differen partitions of my hard-disk and possibly into diffrent network storage folders.

PHP Can Only Upload File Into A World-writeable Folder?
Every time I try to upload a file, it works fine until I use move_uploaded_file() to try to place it in its destination, then I get an error to the effect of: Warning: Unable to create '/path/to/file.ext': Permission denied in /path/to/script.php on line XX This error goes away when I make the folder I'm trying to move the file into a world-writeable one. Has it been other peoples' experience that making the upload folder world-writeable is the only way to move new uploaded files into it?

Opening Files In The Same Folder..
I have a php file (1.php) that needs to open another php file (2.php) and parse it's output. 2.php gets it's data from an xml file and formats it in a pretty screen style.

1 - 2 Millions Files In One Folder?
I have to store over a million files, 10 - 15 kb each, in one folder. The files are created by my php script, sometimes the old files are deleted and new ones are written. So, basically on every connection my script reads/deletes/ writes files from/to that folder. Right now i have only around 300 000 files in that folder, and it feels like its getting slower for that script to work. It does work at the moment, but i am not sure what will happen when there is over a million files there... Are there any limits of files that can be stored in a folder? Would it be better for me to use mysql? I am not sure how mysql will cope with millions of writes/reads

Is there a function that will give me the same output as filectime(), on remote files?

When I view the page with a browser the data is displayed just fine. I've tried using the built-in PHP commands to read the file (file, fget) as well as the all of the Snoopy "fetch" classes

Deleting Files In A Folder Modified Before Certain Date
I use a cache system that requires creation of files in a folder . Now , what i need to know is how can i delete files created say 3 days ago. So that the cache remains fresh.
