Re: Help with copy()/uploading a file

Hi, Take a look here: http://de2.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php#ini.open-basedir Basically toy have opne_basedir in effect which means you can only access subdirs of the base dir, which in your case is, (I suppose) /home/.paco/campuscb/campuscorkboard.com/ So take a look in php.ini (if you can access it) Cheers, Catalin "James Johnson" <james@smb-studios.com> wrote in message news:000001c36f5c$f1ff2350$6401a8c0@james... Hi, I need some help with the copy() function in order to allow a user to upload an image. The image will need to be in a folder that I can access it's URL for display in a page. The hosting company, www.dreamhost.com, isn't too helpful with my requests for help. I have the following code: $webServer ="/home/campuscb/ftp.campuscorkboard.com/adimages/"; $destFile = $webServer; $destFile .= $img1_name; if($img1_name!=""){ copy("$img1","$destFile") or die("Couldn't copy the file"); } else{ die("No input file specified!$img1_name"); } Dreamhost claims I must have Anon FTP activated in order to use the copy() function. I went ahead and set Anon FTP setup on the server. According to the admin panel, I have the following settings: Path:/home/campuscb/ftp.campuscorkboard.com Directory blocks are on except for Stor When I run it, I get the following message in the browser: Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/.paco/campuscb/campuscorkboard.com/upload.php on line 28 Couldn't copy the file Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, James
