Help, can't get images to upload with php...

[Andy_10]

Hi,
i'm trying to enable users to upload to my db. at the moment i've just got a folder called 'uploads' in my root directory... (i'll worry about getting them into the db once i can uplaod to there!) here's my php...

<?php
$target_dir = "http://www.XXXXXX.com/uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
    $check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
    if($check !== false) {
        echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
        $uploadOk = 1;
    } else {
        echo "File is not an image.";
        $uploadOk = 0;
    }
}
// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
    echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
    $uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check file size
if ($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["size"] > 500000) {
    echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
    $uploadOk = 0;
}
// Allow certain file formats
if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg"
&& $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
    echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
    $uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
    echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
        echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
    } else {
        echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
    }
}
?>

I get an error message saying...

File is an image - image/jpeg.Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.

anyone got any ideas?!

Hi, the target directory must be an internal path, not the domain as defined here:

$target_dir = "http://www.XXXXXX.com/uploads/";

Start by changing that.

        $target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);

        $imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

            } else {
                echo mysqli_error($conn);        
            }
        }
        ?>
