Question

Why am I getting a permission error on the line were I copy the file across?

I have print_r on $candidatefile and this shows the full file path and correct name to the new location.

$fields['Resume'] is blank when I run print_r but the file still uploads to the cache

both folders are 777

/home/name/mysite0912/cache/resumes/1ZHiYGZj7J.txt Remuse
/home/name/mysite0912/downloads/cv_folder/new-filename-cv.txt New Location

Everything else is sweet except that

Code Section:

  $candidateuploaddir = _MYSITEDIR . '/downloads/refocus_candidates/';
        $candiatefilename = $fields['RenamedResume'];
        $candidatefile = $candidateuploaddir . $candiatefilename;

        if(empty($fields['Resume']))
        {
                echo 'null';
        }else{
        copy($fields['Resume'],$candiatefilename);
        }

Upload Function:

function uploadResume()
{
    if (!isset($_FILES['UploadResume'])) return false;
    $uploaddir = _CACHEDIR.'/resumes/';
    /* create the upload folder if it does not already exist */
    CMS::RecursiveMkdir($uploaddir);
    $extension = CMS::getFileExtension(basename($_FILES['UploadResume']['name']));
    /* keep producing random filenames until we get a unique one */
    while (empty($filename) || CMS::fileExists($uploaddir.$filename)) {
        $filename = CMS::randomString(10).'.'.$extension;
    }

    $uploadfile = $uploaddir . $filename;

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['UploadResume']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)){

        return $uploadfile;
        //$uploadfile;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

On Submit Line:

$fields['Resume'] = CMS::either(CMS_Plugin_plugin_jobs_apply::uploadResume(), CMS::getFormData('Resume', false)); //upload resume to temporary location

Answer 1

So us a print_r of ($_FILES); have you set the enctype of the form to allow files uploads ?

before this line, add:

copy($fields['Resume'],$candiatefilename);


file_exists($fields['Resume']) or die('can not copy file '.$fields['Resume'].' because it does not  exist !'); 

// else 
copy($fields['Resume'],$candiatefilename);
