Freewebhostingarea.com uploading files

Hi,

I'm trying to upload files to my server via a form and the php move_uploaded_file function but whenever I try to execute it nothing happens. I enabled error logging using ini_set('display_errors',1); error_reporting(E_ALL); and I get the following two errors:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(dvdPics/0/pic1.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/vhosts/48732028.6te.net/insert.php on line 45

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpaOsRwi' to 'dvdPics/0/pic1.jpg' in /home/vhosts/48732028.6te.net/insert.php on line 45

I tried the same code on another server and it seemed to work, it seems to be an issue specifically with freewebhostingarea.com.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Only they would be able to help with permission problems, and of course they will no because you are using the free service, so use another server or account. That said, it could simply be a path problem in your code on line 45.

I wish I could but the other hosting sites seems to block other features I need. 000webhost seems to be the best as they support everything I need, even email except the function we need for the assignments where there needs to be a text file that opens on the page with your code, that feature seems to be blocked for some reason. How can I double check that I am using the correct path?

They cannot block the text file - other people have used it so it is your code. I cannot say what your path must be because I do not know what you have coded and your directory structure. Google for "move_uploaded_file not working" and see if you can pinpoint issues e.g. http://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/232311-move-uploaded-file-not-working/

Ok so I tried 000webhost and as I said before it is definitely blocking text files, trying to open the link Chrome gives me: Oops! This link appears to be broken. I have the exact same code on another server which works perfectly.

000webhost: http://48732028.net16.net/ (not working)
Zymic: http://48732028.zxq.net/ (working)

I'm 100% sure they don't block text files, if you are 100% sure your path is correct, take a look at the permissions?

Hi 49459635,

I have checked that all the files that need additional permissions have been set to 755. Have you tried using the text files on 000webhost? If so could you maybe send me a link or a code excerpt of what worked for you?

I must be stupid or something but I can't get 000webhost to open a text file. Can we make the text file an html file with the code embedded in <xmp></xmp> tags or will I lose marks?

As you wish - I just need to see the code. You can also just change the opening tags from <?php and ?> to < ?php and ? > which means the server will not intepret the code.

Thanks Mr van der Merwe.
