File Upload

[Pino]

Ok i'm missing somthing here, i've done file uplaod a million times but i cant get this one working.....

my upload script is below.

<?php
$uploaddir = "http://lindowltc.org.uk/news/"; 

if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']))
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$uploaddir.'/'.$_FILES['file']['name']);
}

$path = "http://'site'.org.uk/news/" . $_FILES['file']['name'];
$msg = "Image Uploaded";

$host="localhost";
$user="a";
$password="b";
$database="c";

$connection = mysql_connect($host,$user,$password);
$db = mysql_select_db($database,$connection);

$query =("REPLACE INTO tblNews(id,news) VALUES (1,'$path')");

header('Location: http://'site'/Admin/news/upload.php?path='.$path."&msg=".$msg);
?>

I'm trying to store the path the file is uploaded to (So and replace the existing path in the DB)

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="doUpload.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="500000">
<strong>Upload An Image</strong> -<input type="file" name="file" size="60">
<input type="submit" name="upload" value ="Upload News">
</form> 

That the actual upload form,

Am i missing somthing simple here?

the errors are,

Warning: move_uploaded_file(http://path/news//50.jpg[/url]): failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections. in /home/lindowltcuk/public_html/Admin/letter/doUpload.php on line 6

You can only copy, move or write to a file on the local file system. The move location is a url and is not writable.

I got that error today, I cant remember if its exactly the same, but how I went about fixing it was, I use smartFTP (www.smartftp.com), so I went to the folder it was sending the data to pressed f7 on it and changed its permission from 755 to 777.

Ok hit a small problem,

the directory the uplaod is in is,

home/admin/letter/upload.php

this directory is .htaccess protected. now then how do i upload to a directory which is 'further back'

ie - home/letter/

what would is et the $uploaddir = ""; to?

You should use an absolute file path which beings with a solidus (/) "/home/letter/upload"
