Does the user/ folder and it's sub-folders have write permissions?

Member Avatar for andreiviziru

the permissions in filezilla are 0755 for the folders

Member Avatar for diafol 
 $location = '/user/'.$_SESSION['Username'].'/';

This will write to root/user/... probably not what you want.
Try:

 $location = 'user/'.$_SESSION['Username'].'/';

but how to move it into the same page with the script?

Member Avatar for andreiviziru

doesn't work with

$location = 'user/'.$_SESSION['Username'].'/';

it says "Warning: move_uploaded_file(user/axxxA/file.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/public_html/user/axxxA/upload.php on line 20"
and "Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpomrzCU' to 'user/axxxA/file.txt' in /home/user/public_html/user/axxxA/upload.php on line 20"

If it doesn't exist you have to create it first. See is_dir and mkdir.

Member Avatar for andreiviziru

i did

<?php
if (is_dir($tmp_name = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])) {
    echo 'the temporary folder exists<br>';
} else {
    echo 'the temp folder doesn\'t exist<br>';
}

if (is_dir('/user'.$_SESSION['Username'])) {
        echo 'the temporary folder exists';
} else {
    echo 'the main folder doesn\'t exist';
}
?>

i get the negative answers
but for the second i know for sure it exists
