I am trying to upload image as shown here w3schools But it always shows the error
Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.
PHP
<?php
if(!isset($_POST["submit"])){
die('Error');
}
$target_dir = "/var/www/img/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$check = getimagesize($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"]);
if($check !== false) {
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
$uploadOk = 1;
} else {
echo "File is not an image.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
}
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] > 500000) {
echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg"
&& $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
} else {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["file"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
} else {
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
}
?>
It had Worked in Windows 10. Now the error seems upload is done but moving file or something else of the error..
OS : Ubuntu 18.04
PHP ver : 7.3
Apache2
In php.ini, file_uploads = On is setted.
The documentation page for the function you are using move_uploaded_file() describes the behavior in case of the failure.
Returns TRUE on success.
If filename is not a valid upload file, then no action will occur, and move_uploaded_file() will return FALSE.
If filename is a valid upload file, but cannot be moved for some reason, no action will occur, and move_uploaded_file() will return FALSE. Additionally, a warning will be issued.
The first thing you could do is to enable error and warning reporting so you could see whether a warning is raised.
That way you will know whether an issue is with the filename or with actual file movement - which would indicate permissions issue.
It may be due to permission to directory you created in /var/www/ folder.
You can check your apache user by using following command
ps -ef | egrep '(httpd|apache2|apache)' | grep -v `whoami` | grep -v root | head -n1 | awk '{print $1}'
You will get the apache user.After that give permission to apache user to access the directory.In my case apache user is daemon so i give permission to this user to access the img directory.
chown -R daemon:daemon img
