POMoveuploaded files function in PHP moves the file to the temp directory but not to the destination directory
text
Body
copied!<pre><code> $tmpName = basename($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name']); $rightname = basename($_FILES['uploadfile']['name']); move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'], $workDir."/".$tmpName) or die("Cannot move uploaded file to working directory"); if(!is_writable($_POST['filetype'])) die('You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.'); move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'], $_POST['filetype'].'/'.$rightname) or die("Cannot move uploaded file to destination directory"); </code></pre> <p>I have a form that uploads a file and posts data to a php script that contains the above code. The above code works partially, as in, the first 'move_uploaded_file' works and the uploaded file gets moved from the var/tmp folder to the $workDir folder. The file has the same name as the one given by the server when it places the uploaded file on the tmp folder with a temporary name before moving it to the destination directory. I feel this works because I am not renaming the temporary name given to the file by server, when it places the file in the tmp folder, after I submit the form. Because the second 'move_uploaded_file()' dies with the error specified. The directory is writable. It is chmoded into '777'. No issues with that. And this is where I am changing the name of the file to what it needs to be. Seems to be a minor issue but I have spent too much time on this without luck.</p>
