Question

I made an upload system where the user uploads a file and that file is saved and then read by php. The values are inserted into a database. The whole thing works great on the development server but not on the live server.

I have another upload system on the live site that works fine. I tried uploading it to a different folder but that didnt work either.

Just so you know the other day i had problems with the mime type. So for example i uploaded a csv file but the server read it as a text/plain document. I configured configured codeigniter to allow that for csv’s so that shouldnt be the problem. Just thought it was worth mentioning.

ERROR:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

        $this->upload->delete($lastId);
    } else {
        $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());      
    }

    $fileData = $this->upload->data();
    $name = $fileData['file_name'];

        }
        fclose($handle);
    }

Thanks to you two that tried to help. Found the problem while comparing both the uploads i have code. As it turns out fopen() does not support base_url(). Once i got rid of that it worked.
