File Upload Error

[Jaffa]

Hi Again,
I am trying to build an upload facility with PHP.I have it working perfectly on a WAMP server PHP5. But when I try and implement it here I am getting an error:

Cannot open image file.PHP Warning: File upload error - unable to create a temporary file in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: getimagesize(E:/web/gtphotograp/htdocs/test/Gallery/Fight1/Fight1_Sport3.jpg) [<a href='function.getimagesize'>function.getimagesize</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\web\gtphotograp\htdocs\test\scripts\commonFunct ions.php on line 107

PHP Warning: imagecopyresampled(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in E:\web\gtphotograp\htdocs\test\scripts\commonFunct ions.php on line 136

From what I have been able to deduce Googling is that it has something to do with temporary file, but that is all I can work out.

Anyone able to help?

Thanks

My php knowledge is a fraction of a click above zero but maybe it's related to the upload_tmp_dir setting in php.ini?

PHP Warning: File upload error - unable to create a temporary file in UnknownJoe is probably on the right track.

upload_tmp_dir has no value in our global php.ini, so any script that relies on that value will fail. You have to specifically define a target directory in your script.

You cannot run your own version of php.ini on a shared Windows server the way you can on *nix/Apache, so I'm afraid you have to work around the php.ini limitations.

You have to specifically define a target directory in your script.
Not sure how to do this. My understanding is that PHP creates a temp file eg. $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'] this is stored in the temp dir until it is moved to the target directory. The temp dir is defined in the php.ini file and can't be overwritten with ini_set cause it is a system setting. So I am stumped.
MJP are you able to offer a suggestion of how to write a target temp directory?

eg the function to move a file is
move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], /where/you/want/the/file/to/go/uploadedfile.ext);

Thanks in advance

The issue is all sorted now, there was a problem with the permissions on the temp folder.
Thanks to the Discount ASP support staff for their efforts, in fixing these issues, greatly appreciated.
