Help! Basic code problem

am 11.08.2007 04:18:56 von Big Moxy

This is stupid but I don't see the problem. I get a blank page when I
submit this form. The files that I am using for testing are all less
than 50 KB in size.

Any insight is appreciated!!

Here is image_upload.php -

www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Upload Image

error_reporting(E_ALL);
$uploaddir = "d:\domains\test.com\wwwroot\casper\uploads\";
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES["userfile"]["name"]);
if ($_FILES["userfile"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["userfile"]["error"] . "
";
}
else
{
echo "No errors" . "
";
echo $uploaddir . "
";
echo $uploadfile . "
";
}
?>

Enable all errors and turn on display errors in your php.ini file. I'll
bet it helps you find your problem.

I should add - you can also set display_errors in your file with
ini_set(). However, I recommend the php.ini file because
error_reporting() and ini_set() don't get executed when you have a fatal
(i.e. syntax) error.

This code is running at my web host so I don't have access to php.ini.
Is there another way?

I found an online syntax checker - http://www.meandeviation.com/tutorials/learnphp/php-syntax-c heck/
that identified my problem. PHP didn't like the backslashes in my
folder definition.

$uploaddir = "d:\domains\test.com\wwwroot\casper\uploads\";

Is it a standard to always use a forward slash? How would I code a
backslash if it was every needed?

Thank you!

Your problem is in how you're using the backslash. In order to use a
back-slash in a string, you have to use TWO, not just one.
Like this:

$uploaddir = "d:\\domains\\test.com\\wwwroot\\casper\\uploads\\";

Yes, forward slashes are standard - and understood in both Windows and
Unix. Unix doesn't understand backslashes. If you want to use
backslashes, double them up, i.e. "d:\\domains...".

And if you're going to do PHP development, you need a development system
where you can do these things. I highly recommend you install WAMP
(Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) on your own system. It goes quickly and
gives you a system you can develop and test on. Trying to debug
something like this when you don't have that control is both frustrating
and time-wasting.

Your page body is empty, meaning "blank page".
