File uploads in safe mode

    I've been trying to build a file upload system on a server which uses safe mode.

    I've been using the function move_uploaded_file() and have been getting the following error

    Warning: move_uploaded_file(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 5622 is not allowed to access / owned by uid 0


    Has anyone ever come across this and knows a workaround for it?

    From what I am reading online you have to have the safe_mode off to use this function. I could be wrong though.

    Yep, thats what i've found as well.

    Does anyone know how to use PHP's FTP protocol? I've tried using it but can't get it to work with the POST ed variables.

    Love the new avatar by the way ;) lol

    That was at pubcon, I thought I would take a lesson from Crazy_Rob ;) It was snapped with a cell phone though, not a bad pic for a camera phone.

    i know what ur problem is cause i got it before

    its obviously a linux system, the file is "owned" by a different user than the script (in your case the script has a uid of 5622 )

    what you should do i CHOWN ur file once its uploaded more here http://uk.php.net/chown

    have a nice day

    oh and whats your upload limit in php.ini?? (you can check it by printinh the phpinfo() )
    php usually defaults to 2mb so u could have troubles there as well
    as well as the script time out time

    FEW MINUTES LATER: oh and hello from west of ireland ;)
