PHP File Upload on GoDaddy Hosting Account
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 by FuzzHopefully this article will save one person from getting a headache.
If you have created a PHP file upload script and you are not able to get the file to actually upload to your GoDaddy.com hosting account, here are a couple of things to check for:
- Run a phpinfo script (create a new page with only <?php phpinfo(); ?>) and open it up. Check to see which version of PHP you are running.
- If you are running PHP 4, then open the PHP.ini file (in the root directory) and change the upload_tmp_dir line from “/tmp” to “./php_uploads”
- If your phpinfo script states that you are running PHP version 5 +, then make the same change, above, then duplicate your PHP.ini file and rename it php5.ini
That should do the trick. YMMV.
