I can't upload images to my server.
When I try yto upload an avatar I get an error msg saying that it's an invalid file format. I've hecked and the avatar is in .gif and wel whitin the required size.
I can however upload avatars through the admin module.
I also have the same problem with the cdbase module. I can't upload an images at all.
I've checked and the upload dir is chmod 777.
Appriciate any help...

Anyone know the answer to this ?
Still haven't figured it out and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Problems uploading avatars and images

do you get any error messages if you turn on php debugging? Sounds like a php upload server config problem to me, and if so, there should be a php error after the file upload.

* sorry - just re-read your first post. Still interested if there are any php debug errors, but ignore my later comments.

When I try to upload an image the php debug gives me this msg:

Warning [PHP]: getimagesize(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/phpL19NoJ) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/hotels/) in file class/uploader.php line 183


I'm no php guru so I have no idea what to do...
Appreciate any help I can get....

Re: Problems uploading avatars and images

open_basedir is a php configuration setting that limits what directories a php application can access. This error occurs because the upload_dir setup for php /tmp/ is outside the paths you are allowed to access. This has to be set at either the php configuration or web server configuration level. So you can either

1) Convice whoever hosts your website to change this configuration value so that you can manipulate uploaded files.
2) move your site to a host that allows you to access the specified upload_dir.

Ok. My webhost is http://www.1go.dk and according to them this php script will work for uploading files:


// general configuration 

$upload_path = "docs/";  // path to your upload directory 
$extval_use = 1; // turns on/off extension validation 
// forbidden extensions 
$extval = array("php", "php3", "php4", "asp", "bat", "exe",  
                "com", "jsp", "cfml", "shtml", "dtcl"); 
$filesize_limit_use = 1; // turns on/off size check 
$filesize_limit = 200; // file size limit (in kB) 

// language customization 
$message["fileisbig"] = "Filen er større end den tilladte størrelse på (" 
                        . $filesize_limit . "kB)"; 
$message["invext"] = "Filer af denne type kan ikke uploades!"; 
$message["incomplete"] = "Upload lykkedes ikke."; 
$message["complete"] = "Upload er fuldført."; 
$message["uploadbutton"] = "Upload"; 
$message["uploadtxt"] = "Fil, der skal uploades: "; 
$message["fileexists"] = "Filen findes i forvejen!"; 

$rc = 0; 

if ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["upload"]) ) { 

   $orig_name = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']; 

   $filename = ereg_replace("[^a-z0-9._]", "",  
                ereg_replace (" ", "_",  
                 ereg_replace("%20", "_",  
                  strtolower($orig_name)))); 

   //  
   if($filesize_limit_use=1) { 

      $filesize = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'] / 1024; //filesize in kB 

      if($filesize_limit < $filesize) { 
         echo "

" 
              . $message["fileisbig"]."

"; 
         $rc = 1; 
      } 
   } 
   //  

   if ( $rc == 0 ) { 
      //  
      if($extval_use=1) { 

         $extget = substr( strrchr($filename, "."), 1); 

         $found = in_array($extget, $extval); 

         if ( $found ) { 
            echo "

" 
               . $message["invext"]."

"; 

            $rc = 2; 
         } 
      } 
      //  
   } 

   if ( $rc == 0 ) { 
      //  
      echo "

Trying to upload to: "  
         . $upload_path . $filename . "

n"; 

      if ( file_exists($upload_path.$filename) ) { 
         echo "

" 
            . $message["fileexists"]."

"; 

      } else { 
         if( move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],  
                   $upload_path.$filename) ) { 
            echo "

" . $message["complete"]."

"; 
         } else { 
            echo "

" 
               . $message["incomplete"]."

"; 
         } 

      } 
      //  
   } 
} 


echo " 
Upload-script 

Upload filer



 
 
 
       cellspacing=0 align='center'> 
    
      ".$message["uploadtxt"]." 
                        value='".$message["uploadbutton"]."'> 
    
    
       
       
    
 
"; 

?>



Is there anyway I can modify the upload script in XOOPS so that it will work like this one?
