PHP - Problem With Copy() And File Permissions
Hi
Have searched this and other forums for an answer to this and found lots of similar questions but nothing dealing with exactly what I'm after. I want to copy a file located in parent/dir1/file.pdf (for example) to another directory parent/dir2/id/file.pdf. This is straightforward enough using copy(). But... I don't want users to be able to access the original file directly (eg by just putting /parent/dir1/file.pdf into their browser. The only way I seem to be able to do this is by removing the 'read' permission, but then the copy() command gives an error. If this is possible, I assume the solution is somehow linked to the various file and directory permissions but I can't figure out the correct settings. Can someone help out? Thanks in advance Similar TutorialsI am trying from several hours to sort and issue but i donno what the problem.. this is the following code i am using mkdir("news_upload/$year/$month/$day",0777); touch("news_upload/$year/$month/$day/$title.php"); chmod("news_upload/$year/$month/$day/$title.php",0777); $template = "news_template.php"; $new = "news_upload/$year/$month/$day/$title.php"; copy($template,$new); I have created the directories and given the permission the made a new empty file.. i added permissions to the new made file.. but it didnt apply as i check it.. (PROBLEM) then i have a template designed with the name news_template.php wanted to copy this template to the new created file.. the file gets created.. but the new file is not copying the template file on itself.. have i done anything rong??? help please? Wasn't sure exactly where to post this at but here is my issue. I have a directory setup where multiple developers work on a project and they all have "group" access to the folder and files(read, write, execute) so the permissions on the php files need to be 775 so they can upload and overwrite the files via FTP. The problem is that PHP files will not work with permissions of 775 and throw a internal server error unless I change it to something lower. Is there a way to overcome this for these files? I have a question for developing (or in this case rewriting) an application. The current application creates directories and files (thumbnails, etc..) in a directory of the application files. In order to do this I have to set the directories chmod to 777 via ftp. I know this isn't secure. What exactly do you put in the application's code to allow it to write to a file or directory with CHMOD of 755. I have a simply script like this: $fh = fopen("test/test.js", 'w+') or die("can't open file"); fwrite($fh, $output); fclose($fh); It ONLY works if the "test" directory has a 777 permissions. Works like a charm then, but the moment it goes to even 775, I get this: Warning: fopen(test/test.js) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/f.php on line 42 Any thoughts? I don't want this folder to remain 777 Thanks good evening dear php-friends well i am in big trouble - i have a terrible server error! Code: [Select] on openSuse Linux server My Setup: OpenSuse 11.4 on the local machine! Linux- Server FileZilla Client ---------------- Version: 3.3.4.1 Build information: Compiled for: i686-pc-linux-gnu Compiled on: i686-pc-linux-gnu Build date: 2011-02-23 Compiled with: gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.5.1 20101208 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 167585] Compiler flags: -fomit-frame-pointer -fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector - funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g -fstack-protector -Wall -g -fexceptions Linked against: wxWidgets: 2.8.11 GnuTLS: 2.8.6 Operating system: Name: Linux 2.6.37.6-0.7-default i686 Version: 2.6 Well folks i go crazy - sure thing: I run a linux-root-server that is administered by a friend of mine. i controll the SFTP session - with filezilla (see all i mentione above) in order to do installations and maintenance of some drupal-installations (and besides them some joomla-sites) Note: in the future i want to install Drush - in order to get rid all that annoying bugs. I am using directories with setgid bit set. I want to change the permissions of newly created directories to give write permission to the group (by default they have not). For this I right-click on the directory and change the permissions from the Properties dialog. When I change the permissions of a directory that way, the setgid bit gets removed. In fact, there is no way to set the setgid bit, it just always gets turned off, whatever operation one does on permissions.I heard that a buddy found a workaround by creating a custom command that executes chmod -R g+w "!" and applies on directories. This works fine. he said. Well what should i do!? BTW - why does this custom comand work for him !? Can somebody explain this abit! Well i go almost crazy and throw the computer out of the window (well notabene - of the 14 th floor) this is sure thing no good idea but i need to have a solution. waht should i do here. Note: with FileZilla you cannot (!!!!!) set the SETGID-Bit again - no way here - no chance. But with winscp (see below the link ). And you can imagine with Drush you can do it too! What sould i do - can you advice something for me! btw: see winscp with its ability to control the SETGID bit more than the FileZilla can do!! Well what can cause the issue - where is it rooted. Why do i loose the SETGID-Bit every time! It is possible that our SFTP server does not support the setgit bit and silently ignores the request to set it. What is the issue - can it be the SFTP.-SERVER!? Do you need more information more input should i do more investigations on the troubles and the environment. just let me know - i do everything to get the troubles rid! look forward to hear from you Greetings So my hosting server does not allow fopen anymore, so I was wondering if anyone had an alternative to copying a file from a remote server via a URL to a local folder? Any alternatives is apprecited. hey guys its me again. what i want is for me to be able to edit php using variables and post it as a new file. now to attchieve this i am simply copying the current template into the php file and telling it to grap what variables it needs. i have successfully done this with a .css file but when im doing it with a php file its erroring at <?php as the file is already in php. what i need to know is can i have the php file look at the <?php as just text to write to a file? my code is below Code: [Select] $dir = "../Header/"; $file = "" . $branchid . ".php"; $dir = "$dir"."$file"; touch($dir); $Handle = fopen($dir, 'w'); $Data = " <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <?php //We count the number of new messages the user has $nb_new_pm = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query('select count(*) as nb_new_pm from pm where ((user1="'.$_SESSION['user_id'].'" and user1read="no") or (user2="'.$_SESSION['user_id'].'" and user2read="no")) and id2="1"')); //The number of new messages is in the variable $nb_new_pm $nb_new_pm = $nb_new_pm['nb_new_pm']; ?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <style type="text/css"> /* Remove margins from the 'html' and 'body' tags, and ensure the page takes up full screen height */ html, body { margin:0; padding:0;} /* Set the position and dimensions of the background image. */ #page-background {position:fixed; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;} /* Specify the position and layering for the content that needs to appear in front of the background image.

Here's the form: Code: [Select] <form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="image[]" multiple="multiple" /> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit"> </form> Here's my PHP code: Code: [Select] if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $count=0; foreach($_FILES['image'] as $filename){ copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], WEB_UPLOAD."/images/galleries/".$filename) or die("Error uploading image "); $count++; } } I get the message, Array to string conversion and no such directory found. Am I right in thinking I am sending the files as arrays? Many thanks for your help. Hello I have a problem. I have been trying to copy my music folders structure but not copying the mp3s; instead using the file names as a file name for a .txt file and inserting the URL to the file in the .txt file. Eg. E:\My Music folder 1 folder 1.1 file.mp3 folder 2 folder 3 to G:\My Music folder 1 folder 1.1 file.txt folder 2 folder 3 and inside "file.txt" would be one line saying "http://www.xxx.com/my_music/file.mp3 Seems this should be easy, but I'm not finding the solution. Functions like scandir, readdir, and glob that I've been looking at all seem to need me to actually know more about my directory path than I can ahead of time. Here's what I want to do: 1. expand a .tar file (consists of directory, subdirectories, files, and is variable) that I've uploaded to the server 2. look through that expanded directory for a subdirectory named ".pn" -- (note that all my .tar files will have this folder deep in several subdirectories that will be variable in number and have different names depending on the original .tar file) 3. copy the entire contents of the .pn folder to another folder already on my server The hosting company, no doubt, has likely blocked some of the functions I'll need as well, but if someone can point me in the right direction to start, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Satre i have 200 photos in a folder .. can i move random a photo to with changing photo name anoter file Ok I am designing a php upload that will take a image file from a form and change the name of the file to the productnumber also recieved from the form. I had it working the otherday now it says Warning: copy() [function.copy]: open_basedir restriction in effect File() is not within the allowed path(s): (/home:/tmp:/usr) addpro.php on line 51. my files are attached.... note that $pnum is the product number gotten from my form and image is the image being uploaded gotten from the form also. The thing is it worked the other day but now it don't is it a change to the server ( I dont run the server) or did I mess up my code since then? I really need a code that will do this two time over once for a small image being put into a folder called small and once for a folder called large both images being uploaded and being changed to $pnum.ext so they will both be displayed when being called out by the product number. but I can work on that after I get this one working. line 51 is $copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname); Hi guys, I am wirting a script to upload an image file, but I get the error: copy() [function.copy]: Filename cannot be empty in Obviouly it has something to do with the copy() function - (copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['product_img']['tmp_name'], $path)) I think it is not copying from my temp folder or something. Can anyone help me out? Code is: Code: [Select] //IMAGE FILE $file_name = $_FILES['product_img']['name']; echo '<p>File Name:' . $file_name . '</p>'; //IMAGE UPLOAD // random 4 digit to add to file name $random_digit=rand(0000,9999); //combine random digit to file name to create new file name //use dot (.) to combile these two variables $new_image_name = $random_digit.$file_name; echo $new_image_name; //SET DESINATION FOLDER $path= "uploads/".$new_image_name; echo '<p>Path:' . $path . '</p>'; if($product_img !=none) { if(copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['product_img']['tmp_name'], $path)) { echo "Successful<BR/>"; echo "File Name :".$new_file_name."<BR/>"; echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['product_img']['size']."<BR/>"; echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['product_img']['type']."<BR/>"; } else { echo "Image upload Error<BR/>"; } } Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks I came across the PHP clone method. Does this clone first level fields and methods or does it also do deep copying e.g. copying references to those fields. For example, a field may be an array. Does it make a copy of the actual array or does it refer to the same array position in memory, so if the original changes, then the copy's changes as well?
This was generated through phpFormGenerator, but I'm getting the following warning message when a file is not uploaded. I didn't set it as a required field. "Warning: copy() [function.copy]: Filename cannot be empty ..." If it possible to skip this check since it's not supposed to be required to upload a file? I'm simply trying to make a contact form that emails basic information with the added option of attaching a file/picture. Code: [Select] <?php include("global.inc.php"); $errors=0; $error="The following errors occured while processing your form input.<ul>"; pt_register('POST','FullName'); pt_register('POST','Email'); pt_register('POST','Phone'); pt_register('POST','QuestionsorComments'); $QuestionsorComments=preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/"," <br />", $QuestionsorComments);$AttachPictureforQuote=$HTTP_POST_FILES['AttachPictureforQuote']; pt_register('POST','Howdidyoufindus'); if($FullName=="" || $Email=="" ){ $errors=1; $error.="<li>You did not enter one or more of the required fields.

Hello needed for permissions well dont know even how to ask . im building simple betting and im want to add message if user has submitted bet but problem im got is once user submit all other bets comes with message how to make it work separate for every single row Here is my code Code: [Select] $statom = $TSUE['TSUE_Database']->query("SELECT count(*), b.betid, a.betid, a.memberid, a.chosen_team FROM rasta_betters a, rasta_betting b WHERE memberid = ".$TSUE['TSUE_Member']->info["memberid"]."

(ie: viruses etc)? So I thought what I would do is 1: Set folder to 777 to allow uploads 2: Upload file 3: Set folder to 755 to disable uploads Would this be the best method to do it? Or is that a waste of time and am I safe just leaving it as 777 Thanks I'm doing a flash app where i save webcam images to a folder on the server. I'm able to make this work when running of xampp on my machine, I create the required folder structure and I'm able to read from that folder and display the images, however once i move the stuff onto a live server, it fails to create the folders and it seems to be a permission problem. Is it server specific? i've tried chmod etc but I don't think i'm doing it right. any help, pointers for a non php developer would be most helpful. here's my code snippet <?php //This project is done by vamapaull: http://blog.vamapaull.com/ //The php code is done with some help from Mihai Bojin: http://www.mihaibojin.com/ $uid = $_GET[uid]; $structure = './images/' . date("Ymd") .'/' . $uid. '/'; // To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter // to mkdir() must be specified. if(is_dir($structure)) { echo "Exists!"; } else { echo "Doesn't exist" ; if (!mkdir($structure,'0777', true) ) { die('Failed to create folders...'); } } if(isset($GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"])){ $jpg = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]; $img = $_GET["img"]; $filename = 'images/' . date("Ymd"). "/" .$uid. "/img_". mktime(). ".jpg"; file_put_contents($filename, $jpg); } else{ echo "Encoded JPEG information not received."; } ?> So here is a concept of a permission system that I haven't really seen any where else. Now usually conventional permissions are usually stored in columns whilst the record specifies a bit which is then used to determine if the record has access to that permission.
Below is my concept of how permissions should be done, I'm looking for someone who can help me create the system in a way which would be easily implementable by other applications such as MyBB. In my case I have multiple game servers, and most of my players have accounts created on my forums which are powered by MyBB, I'm currently in the process of integrating their MyBB accounts across all my related game servers, but one thing I've noticed is that I have multiple permission systems created for all of my servers so right now I'm also trying to integrate all of them into one system so please try and understand that I designed this system in a way that could be used by multiple applications.
Any constructive criticism is accepted.
So the idea is that you have 1 table, I'll just list it here to make it easier to follow: - uniperms_nodes Now the uniperms_nodes table will contain the following columns:
- key (Int, Not Null, Primary Key, Auto Increment)
- type (Enum('USER', 'GROUP'), Not Null)
- id (Int, Not Null)
- permission (Varchar(255), Not Null)
- description (Text)
Now here is how it works,a record is inserted into the uniperms_nodes table containing the necessary information. Here is an example:
INSERT INTO `uniperms_nodes` (`type`, `id`, `permission`, `description`)
VALUES ('GROUP', '1', 'my.test.node', 'A simple permission');
With this information inserted, I can simply use the following query in order to get all of the permissions related to the GROUP with the ID of 1. SELECT `permission` FROM `uniperms_nodes` WHERE type='GROUP' AND id=1;With this array of permission nodes I can simply just check if the array has 'my.test.node', if the array contains 'my.test.node' then that means that the group I queried has access to that permission. Now the reason I have the types USER and GROUP is because maybe you would like to give permissions to individual users, but maybe you wouldn't necessarily want to create a new group. I'm currently looking for someone to help me create a lovely interface for this system, so that it's easier for the user to modify a group/user's permissions. If you're interested feel free to message me here on the forums or via email. kieron.wiltshire@outlook.com Edited by KieronWiltshire, 19 November 2014 - 11:15 AM. |
