Re: [PHP] Help with copy()/uploading a file

[Marek Kilimajer]

Use move_uploaded_file() instead of copy(). The former bypasses safe 
mode restrictions.

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
