move_uploaded_file error

		
$p=mysql_query('SELECT download_path from config');
$path = $p[0].$_FILES['upload']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'], $path);

Code (markup):

The script is attempting to move the file to "/home/xxxxx/downloads/" which I've got CHMODed to 777... anything else that could be causing this problem?

 

you've forgotten to do mysql_fetch_assoc after query. this will look like:

$p=mysql_query('SELECT download_path from config');
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($p);
$path = $row['download_path'].$_FILES['upload']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'], $path);

 

$p=mysql_query('SELECT download_path from config');
		$p_result=mysql_result($p, 0);

		$path = $p_result.$_FILES['upload']['name'];

Code (markup):

I fixed it just moments before you posted using this. While this code works is it acceptable or am I going to have problems if I use it elsewhere?

 

Your code is OK, but using associative arrays is better practice. Your code will be more readable

 

Thank you very much for your help

 

echo $path before

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'], $path);

If the directory is indeed correct, check that the parent directories also are chmoded to 777.

Also check the ownership (chown,chgrp) to be general (either apache or the username).

Peace,
