Upload Problem

ok, I have a script, which uploads a file to a folder called "pictures" Now, I want that file to be uploaded to a folder called "pictures", but on a nother server. Think is, I can't find where that path is set. I've looked in my code over and over and didn't find an upload function or a path for the upload. This code was purchased, I didn't write it and I'm still not an expert at php, so I would need help. Here is the code.

----------------------------------------------------
<?php

include("member.php");

$badupload =0;
if (isset($upload))
{
if (!$url || $allowurl == 0)
{

$imagesize = @getimagesize($picture);

case 1:
                   $gif=1;
break;
case 2:
$jpg = 1;
break;
case 3:
       break;
              default:
$err_msg = "Not a valid image upload. .JPG .GIF and .PNG formats are accepted only.";
                         @unlink($picture);
                        $badupload=1;
break;
}

if (($uploadsize > 20) && (filesize($picture) > ($uploadsize * 1024))) {
$err_msg="Filesize too big. Maximum filesize allowed is $uploadsize K";
@unlink($picture); $badupload=1;
}

$newpicname = "m".$auth."_".removebadchars($picture_name);
if (!@copy($picture,"~tempt/pictures/".$newpicname)) { echo ("<br><blockquote>'$newpicname' '$err_msg' <br></blockquote>\n");$badupload=1; }
else {

if ($nogd != 1 && ($gif != 1 || ($gif ==1 && $nogdgif !=1))) {

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

unfortunately there's no one variable holding the folder name so you'll have to change it in a few places:

if (!@copy($picture,"~tempt/pictures/".$newpicname)) { echo ("<br><blockquote>'$newpicname' '$err_msg' <br></blockquote>\n");$badupload=1; }

second part of that copy function contains the file location

$filename = "pictures/".$newpicname;
$fileout = "pictures/t_".$newpicname;
$mfileout = "pictures/m_".$newpicname;

the above code is to do with thumbnail generation so you'll need to change the folder there as well i suppose

@unlink("pictures/".$d[picture]);
@unlink("pictures/t_".$d[picture]);

the above code is for removing files and the directory may need to be changed

the thing i don't understand is why you would need to change the directory information when its the same directory name but on a different server, unless you're storing the upload script on one server and trying to copy the files to another server. if this is the case, i don't think it'll be possible to copy the files there.. anyway if you need more help then leave a message

I think the answer to your question here is there is not an answer. I do not see anything in your code that connects you to another server nor would changing a PATH allow you to access another server.

PATHS will just manipulate your native server.

Ok, I'll try to explain a little more...

I have many web sites, all sharing the same database on one server. The same code is on every site, which are on the same server, but in different hosting packages. I need to upload these pictures to the same folder in order for the pictures to be viewable from any of the sites. If I can't do it with this script, is it something that is possible to achieve or is it simply an exercise in futility?

I'll try changing the lines you pointed out, loz, but I already tried and it didnt' work... I'll nonetheless try it again.

thanks again

ok, these lines, do change the directory loz,

if (!@copy($picture,"~tempt/pictures/".$newpicname)) { echo ("<br><blockquote>'$newpicname' '$err_msg' <br></blockquote>\n");$badupload=1; }

$filename = "pictures/".$newpicname;
$fileout = "pictures/t_".$newpicname;
$mfileout = "pictures/m_".$newpicname;

but everytime I try to change it, I get an error message. I'm not quite sure what the syntax would be if I wanted to set it to another server. I'm sure I wouldn't type the "http://mydomain.com/picture" right? So what would I put? What would you put?

Julia again.

lozloz

as i said earlier, you can't copy files onto a remote server so you'd have to have the script on each domain, allowing you to reference the folder by its relative location to the script. so if i had the the pictures in the URLs: http://mydomain.com/pictures and http://myserver.com/images/photos, i'd have one script with the folder names as you have them, and one with images/photos/".$newpicname; etc.

you know what? I am so dumb! I just have to load the upload page from the main server instead of my local one. Like that, It will upload to that picture folder... Sorry to have taken your time!
