change image upload path within PHP code
I have a PHP script that uploads images to a folder on my server (attachments folder). Currently the folder sits within my webroot and is publicly accessible (I have to use chmod 777 due to permissions issue). So, I created the “attachments” folder outside of my webroot (so that it is not publicly accessible), but I do not know how to set the path in the PHP code to upload it to that “attachments” folder outside of the webroot. As you see in the snippet of PHP code below, the code currently uploads the the “attachments” folder within the www (webroot) directory. How do I make it upload to the “attachments” folder OUTSIDE of the www (webroot) directory?
[code=php]foreach($files[$form] as $file){
$str = $file[1];
if (eval(“if($str){return true;}”)) {
$_values[$file[0]] = $_FILES[$file[0]][“name”];
$dirs = explode(“/”,”attachments//”);
$cur_dir =”.”;
foreach($dirs as $dir){
$cur_dir = $cur_dir.”/”.$dir;
if (!@opendir($cur_dir)) { mkdir($cur_dir, 0777);}}
$_values[$file[0].”_real-name”] = “attachments/”.date(“YmdHis”).”_”.$_FILES[$file[0]][“name”].”_secure”;
copy($_FILES[$file[0]][“tmp_name”],$_values[$file[0].”_real-name”]);
@unlink($_FILES[$file[0]][“tmp_name”]);
}else{
$flag=true;
if ($_isdisplay) {
//$ExtFltr = $file[2];
//$FileSize = $file[4];
if (!eval(“if($file[2]){return true;}”)){echo $file[3];}
if (!eval(“if($file[4]){return true;}”)){echo $file[5];}
$_ErrorList[] = $file[0];
}
}
}
