I have a WordPress plug in that I am working on and I seem to have hit a problem.
I need the user to be able to upload an image, instead I keep getting this problem:
Upload directory is not writable, or does not exist.
Warning:

You have successfully added test_title to your products list
The directory definitely exists and I even changed the CHMOD to 777 for a test.
The products.php file looks like this:
<?
if ('POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'])
{
global $wpdb;
$product_title = $_POST['title'];
$product_url = $_POST['url'];
$product_btn_text = $_POST['btn_text'];
// CREATE UNIQUE NAME FOR IMAGE
$remote_addr = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$time = time();
$new_name = $remote_addr;
$new_name .= $time;
// IMAGE UPLOAD
$upload_dir = "http://markpetherbridge.co.uk/ios/wp-content/plugins/rap/includes/productimages/";
if (file_exists($upload_dir) && is_writable($upload_dir)) {
echo "<br /> Directory exists and is fine.... <br />";
}
else {
echo "Upload directory is not writable, or does not exist. <br />";
}
$uploadedfile = $_FILES['image_file']['name'];
$extension = explode(".", $uploadedfile);
$extensiontype = $extension['1'];
$target_path = $upload_dir;
$target_path = $target_path .$new_name .'.'.$extensiontype;
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image_file']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['image_file']['name']).
" has been uploaded <br />";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again! <br />";
}
$product_img = $new_name.'.'.$extensiontype;
//ADD TO DATABASE
$wpdb->query("INSERT INTO wp_rec_amazon_product (product_title, product_url, product_img, product_btn_text) VALUES ('$product_title', '$product_url','$product_img','$product_btn_text')");
echo "You have successfully added " .$product_title. " to your products list";
} else { ?>
<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table border="0" bordercolor="none" width="50%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>Product Title:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="title" value="product title" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Product Url</td>
<td><input type="text" name="url" value="product url" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Button text</td>
<td><input type="text" name="btn_text" value="Get your copy" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="file" name="image_file" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php }?>
The information gets added to the databse, its just the image upload that does not seem to be working.
Has anyone got any ideas? thank you all in advance. 🙂
Like @thenetimp said!
The destination of move_uploaded_file cannot be a URL. But instead has to be a path on the local file system.
$upload_dir has to point to a local path like
wp_upload_dir()
will return the local file path of your upload directory in WordPress.
in your script, put : $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
instead of the static string you have there.
Your upload dir is URL That is your problem. It needs to be a local filesystem path
Also, you have an if conditional to check if you can write the file, but do nothing but spit out a text response. You should be doing your work in there, instead it’s below the if conditional. That’s bad. YOu should do this.
