Hello,

I am trying to change directories within a php snippet where people can upload pictures to my website. If I use the chdir() command, I recieve the error:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/nicollc/public_html/wedding/upload.php on line 28

why is this?

Here is a snippet of code to help you understand:

for($x=1; $x<=$uploadNeed; $x++){
$file_name = $_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['name'];
if (empty($file_name)) {
echo "<h3>ERROR!</h3>"; ?>
<p class="text">You didn't specify which file(s) you would like to upload!</p>
<p class="text"><a href="javascript:history.back()">Go back and try again!</a></p>
<?php include("footer.php");
die();
} else {
chdir("$name");
// strip file_name of slashes
$file_name = stripslashes($file_name);
$file_name = str_replace("'","", $file_name);
$file_name = strtolower($file_name);
if (file_exists($file_name)) { ?>
<p class="text"><?php echo $file_name; ?> already exists. Please use a different filename if it is a different photo.</p>
<?php } elseif (!file_exists($file_name)) {
list($file, $ext) = split('[.]', $file_name);
if ($ext == "jpg") {
$copy = copy($_FILES['uploadFile'.$x]['tmp_name'], $file_name);
} else { ?>
<p class="text"><?php echo $file_name; ?> cannot be uploaded as it has the wrong format.
Please ensure that it has the correct file extension.</p>
<?php }
}
chdir("uploads");
// check if successfully copied
if ($copy) {
$entrydate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO uploads (Owner,filename,datetime) VALUES ('$name','$file_name','$entrydate')") or die(mysql_error());
if (mysql_insert_id()) { ?>
<p class="text"><?php echo $file_name ?> has been sucessfully uploaded!</p>
<?php }
}
}
} // end of loop

Thanks
Jason

Hello,
you can't change to a directory which doesn't exist. Please check your parameter and the current directory.

The directories have been created, I was just showing part of the the script which was showing the error message.

We can't help you here with your coding problems but check your current directory (getcw). The error message doesn't lie ..
