Error Something's wrong in file upload!

[shamusomalley]

Hello, Just found this very neat piece of software. Instalation went off WO a hitch. Tables have all been created. Problem is I cant upload images. I keep getting the error listed above.

Seems to be dying at
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
in new_image.php

I poked around a bit and have determined that
$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] is C:\PHP\uploadtemp\php4A46.tmp.

Now I'm not super strong on PHP but I did check out the move_uploaded_file function and think maybe I don't have access to C:\PHP\uploadtemp\php4A46.tmp. I am using a shared server or does that refer to a local directory. I really have no idea so it is only a guess. Here are my stats.

- what's the error message you see when uploading files?
- did you CHMOD images and thumbnails directories?
- that local directory is the PHP's temporary directory which is set for file upload. it's routine work of PHP and no big deal.
- ask your host admin if you have the permission to upload files within php

Hi raminia, Thanks for taking the time to respond. Here are my answers:

- what's the error message you see when uploading files?
The error appears at the bottom of the page after the image file is submitted and in a red box states:
Error
Something's wrong in file upload!
- did you CHMOD images and thumbnails directories?
Since it is an IIS server there is no CHMOD settings but I did allow full permissions to everyone
- that local directory is the PHP's temporary directory which is set for file upload. it's routine work of PHP and no big deal.
OK but if I check that directory manually should I see a uploadtemp folder?
- ask your host admin if you have the permission to upload files within php
Should not be a problem as I use zen cart to upload certain files which runs on php.

read/write/excute permissions to everyone

read/write/excute permissions to everyone
Yup. Did that.

On a side note, if I FTP a folder of pics I am able to use the addons functionality to upload the entire directory so I don't think its a permissions issue, at least not on my server.

I think the problem I'm having has got something to do with the move_uploaded_file function returning false becuase the parameter $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] which provides a directory that looks something like C:\PHP\uploadtemp\php4A46.tmp is not being found or is invalid.

But again, I really dont know and would love to hear any and all suggestions

Just an update. If I use edit and upload a different pic I have no problems. Still can figure out why I cant add a new one though.

maybe you have no space left at your host?
did you check how much space you have and how much of that is unused?
