Error with save path on file upload

Hi,

I have searched the forum for an answer and found one blog similar to this one but still, after two days of messing, was not able to figure it out.

I am running LAMP on my windows XP PC.

Folder structure:

Dataface location:

D:\xampp\htdocs\myphp\PHPGenerators\xataface

Application location:

D:\xampp\htdocs\myphp\PHPGenerators\idxceo_engine

Location of Dataface index.php within application (renamed to admin.php):

D:\xampp\htdocs\myphp\PHPGenerators\idxceo_engine\admin

Desired file upload dir:

D:\xampp\htdocs\myphp\PHPGenerators\idxceo_engine\SiteEngine\plugins\main\blocks

Content of admin.php

Code: Select all

require_once '../../xataface/dataface-public-api.php'; df_init(__FILE__, 'http://localhost/myphp/PHPGenerators/xataface'); $app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance(); $app->display();

Content of fields.ini:

Code: Select all

[block_file] Type = container widget:label = "Block File" widget:description = "Upload a Block File from your system" widget:type = file allowed_extensions = html,php savepath = ../SiteEngine/plugins/main/blocks url = http://localhost/myphp/PHPGenerators/idxceo_engine/Site_Engine/plugins/main/blocks

It throws the following error:

Warning: mime_content_type(D:\xampp\htdocs\myphp\PHPGenerators\idxceo_engine\admin/../SiteEngine/plugins/main/blocks/home_sidebar1.blk.php) [function.mime-content-type]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\xampp\htdocs\myphp\PHPGenerators\xataface\Dataface\Record.php on line 2182

It looks like it takes the folder that contains the xataface admin.php (previously index.php) file as the root for the new upload URL. Maybe because of some $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]?

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you very much.

Chris

When does it throw this error? When you’re uploading an file, when your trying to view a previously uploaded file, or other?

Thanks a lot for your reply Steve.

Oops, apology, I forgot to mention that it happens when I try to edit or view any record of the table that contains the upload field (with any existing files and also when I try to upload a new file).

Thanks.

I was wondering if you had any time to look into this matter?

The error doesn’t look like it has anything to do with the save url, just the save path.

Can you confirm that the file is actually being saved on upload? The error indicates that the file could not be found, which would mean that either it wasn’t successfully uploaded, or the path is wrong.

Another note is that allowing users to upload php files is a potential security hole, as they could upload a script that did some bad stuff, and then immediately call that script.
