Re: Safe mode upload

Awhile ago there was some discussion on irc #php , this use was proposed (by onki) : $tmp_name = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']; move_uploaded_file ($tmp_name, '/home/httpd/html/upload/example.zip'); chmod('/home/httpd/html/upload/example.zip', 0644); And it works. move_uploaded_file() is the key here. Haven't personally tried it like this as the safe mode server I have access to is 4.0.2 and move_uploaded_file is a 4.0.3 function http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php Also, what you can do is get a script called chuid from here : http://www.srparish.net/scripts/ It must be installed by sysadmin. Then, users do something like this : ... <input type="file" name="file"> ... passthru ("chuid $file 1033"); copy($file, "/path/to/uploads/$file_name"); Something like that. The above (1033) is the users uid which of course is different for everyone. If anyone has comments to add/change to this post, please do so. Also upon review of the php4.0.5 CHANGELOG, note the following entry : "Allow access to uploaded files in safe_mode. Beware that you can only read the file. If you copy it to new location the copy will not have the right UID and you script won't be able to access that copy.
