Hello, I'm a bit of a newbie on PHP/MySQL , but have gotten pretty far thus far.
I have set up a database that includes paths to 10 files uploaded via Pure PHP Upload (DMX Extension) that also uses the Smart Image Processor to resize the images. I got it all working going to the /upload/ folder and images are resized and placed in there.
However, there are going to be hundreds of images for 200+ villa rentals, so I would like to create a dynamic subfolder in /upload/ that coincides with the Villa Name entered on the form $name
I used the following to accomplish per a tutorial I found at www.dmxzone.net/showDetail.a...older/index.htm
I used "../upload" .$HTTP_POST_VARS['name'] for the path name as directed.
Now, anytime I try to submit this form, I get the error below, whether I submit with or without images:
Not enough permissions
Folder .. can not be created,
Set the permissions of the parentmap correctly
Please correct and try again
I verified the upload dir has permissions 777
When I put the save path to simply "../upload" the error disappears and all works.
Any idea how I can fix the permissions on the upload folder to allow directory creation?
Thanks for any help guys,
Andrew

You are forgetting a slash, use "../upload/" .$HTTP_POST_VARS['name'] as pathname
