@move question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 15.2006

First a thank you to Bokeh for putting up the file upload script from which I learnt a couple of important points.

The one think I don’t understand is why the use of
the @ symbol.

as in @is_uploaded_file( …
and @move_uploaded_file

In my script I was just using:
move_uploaded_file( …

which has been working just fine.

Does it make much difference ?

Thanks

@DaveinLondonauthorJun 15.2006 — Thanks for reply.

however after stating no error why does the error element have a comment

in it - "receiving directory ..." ?

@move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upLoad1']['tmp_name'];, $uploadFilename)

or error('receiving directory insuffiecient permission', homes_picts_fm.php);

Thanks

@GarySJun 15.2006 — Think the @ character suppresses the [i]display[/i] of the error message, though the error is still [i]logged[/i].

@ScleppelJun 15.2006 — The @ character suppresses PHP's error message, not the "or error()".

http://uk.php.net/manual/sl/language.operators.errorcontrol.php

The error is probably the semicolon after $_FILES['upLoad1']['tmp_name'].

[code=php]@move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upLoad1']['tmp_name'], $uploadFilename)
or error('receiving directory insuffiecient permission', homes_picts_fm.php);[/code]

@bokehJun 15.2006 — The reason it is there is because the error handler outputs a header. If move_uploaded_file raised a warning the error handler would no longer work.

Success!
