Well, the title says it all. I have a form like this in my document:


<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="profile" method="post" action="?">

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="250000">
Select image:<input type="file" name="image" />
<br />

<p class="centered">
<input value="Confirm" type="submit" class="button1 linkElement" />
</p>
</form>


The php code, that should handle the upload is standard:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"], $destination);

I even printed the $_FILES array and it looks like this:
Array ( [image] => Array ( [name] => bojan.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /var/upload/phpjarPwZ [error] => 0 [size] => 10096 ) )

But the problem is that this file never gets saved to /var/upload directory (I changed php.ini file, so that uploaded files should be saved into /var/upload. I tried /var/tmp as well, but it's the same). Here are also the permissions of this dir:
drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 48 2010-02-17 00:30 upload

BTW, I use Mandriva 2010 64 bit distribution.
I spent last two days searching for solution on internet forums, asking people and made absolutely no progress.

Any ideas?

Oh, and is it possible to debug what is happening with the supposedly uploaded file? I mean any logs, where I could find trace, what's going wrong? I tried to check /var/log/httpd and files in there, but no success either...

Can you do something like thisNote the "'"s, to mark the start and end of the variables. Are these what they should be?

If they are what they should be, then post your complete HTML file and complete PHP file. Or at least a minimized version of the HTML/PHP files, such that it can still reproduce the problem.

Depending on your setup, "o"thers must have "w"rite permissions--here they'yre only given read and execute.

This may be of some use to you. Maybe it doesn't work because you use "move_uploaded_file" rather than "@move_uploaded_file"?

$_FILES array looks perfectly OK. HTML code of the form looks just like the one I posted and PHP code is basically irrelevant, because the file doesn't get save into /var/upload. This is my main problem.


Changed that with chmod a+w upload, but the situation is the same, "uploaded" file doesn't get saved in /var/upload.

As I said before, move_uploaded_file can't fail in this case, because there is nothing to move in the first place. The file doesn't get saved into temporary location, this is my main issue.

Does anyone know, in which logs I could see any possible error messages?

I dont know what logs if any it would be in. As I said before, I think I can further help only if you post all of your code (html, php, etc) for me or others to try and see if it works on our side, or if we can debug it ourselves.

Hi

Are you positive $destination is correct? And does the apache user have write access to it? PHP will delete all uploaded files when the script ends unless you move or copy the files. So if it can't move the file, it will simply vanish. And if warnings are turned off, you will never know. Turn on displaying of all warnings/notices. Then try to check the contents of /var/upload in the script handling the upload. For example:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
passthru("ls -l /var/upload");
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"], $destination);

That was the key information I needed. When I included your code into my php script, I could finally reveal the error in my php code. Which I could not find before, as I assumed that the uploaded file will be left in /var/upload if it is not moved.
Thank you and all the others that tried to help me very much.
