Upload File Problem

I had the same issue in php 5.3.3 on a one.com site.

All directories were 777. But no luck.
As pointed out by Nieuwenhuis below the problem is force_mkdir in files.php.

In the code the explode function gives back an empty string as first element because the path starts with a /. This is not expected by the code that follows.

If you have PHP 5+ the solution is simple, add this line:

return mkdir($path, $chmod, true);

after:

function force_mkdir($path, $chmod = null) {

in environment/functions/files.php. That worked for me.

If you have PHP less than 5, add this line:

if ($real_path[0]=='/') $real_path=substr($real_path,1);

after:

$real_path = str_replace('\\', '/', $path);

in environment/functions/files.php. But this last solution did not work for me. Problem is that the half of the real path is outside my site root. As such, the is_dir function fails in PHP and the code assumes the directory needs to be created. That needs more work to fix. I hope you have PHP 5+.

Debug details for initial problem

===outside www root for my site=========/
/customers/mysite.nl/mysite.nl/httpd.www/projectpier-0.8.0.3/upload/f945c/a540a/65137

array(10) { [0]=> string(0) "" [1]=> string(9) "customers" [2]=> string(10) "mysite.nl" [3]=> string(10) "mysite.nl" [4]=> string(9) "httpd.www" [5]=> string(19) "projectpier-0.8.0.3" [6]=> string(6) "upload" [7]=> string(5) "f945c" [8]=> string(5) "a540a" [9]=> string(5) "65137" }

forced_path=/

I played around with this some more. The problem is with the "force_mkdir" function in 'envrionment/functions/files.php' (line 231). I ended up changing it a bit and got it to work. mkdir() in PHP5 has a recursive flag that does what force_mkdir() seems to want to do.

Also, in my /upload folder I had a file called 'attributes.php'. This also needed to be writable in order for file uploads to work.
