I have a website which i created, and part of it is a PHP form which allows users to upload images. This has always worked, but stopped working today, with no visible error. Has anything changed on the hosting side? It isn’t a filesize issue since the image is 300kb in size.

Thank you

I’ve checked your uploader, and it seems there aren’t any issues. Could you be more specific about the question? And try turning on PHP debugger from Cpanle.

Try uploading a new recipe with an image using the above link.  
It should add the picture with the recipe.

</div>

```
if(!empty($_FILES["imageupload"]["tmp_name"]))
	{
		$targetDir = "../images/";
		$fileName = $_POST['ID'] . ".jpg";
		$targetFilePath = $targetDir . $fileName;
		$fileType = pathinfo($targetFilePath,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

		move_uploaded_file($_FILES["imageupload"]["tmp_name"], $targetFilePath);
	}
	else
		$fileName = NULL;

```

Keep in mind the code works properly on localhost

It generally seems okay, but try removing two dots from tragetdir

````auto
if(!empty($_FILES["imageupload"]["tmp_name"]))
	{
		$targetDir = "/images/";
		$fileName = $_POST['ID'] . ".jpg";
		$targetFilePath = $targetDir . $fileName;
		$fileType = pathinfo($targetFilePath,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

		move_uploaded_file($_FILES["imageupload"]["tmp_name"], $targetFilePath);
	}
	else
		$fileName = NULL;```
````

No, that didn’t work. The script that processes the upload is in a subfolder /api/

Nope, the image was not saved, nor was the image filename written to my database.

Okay, i tested this with my website and it worked for me, try this

```auto
$targetDir = __DIR__. "/../images/";

```

That didnt work.

!empty($\_FILES[“imageupload”][“tmp\_name”]) is resolveing to true, so the code to rename the file never runs.

I’ve done some debugging, and this is the error on the file uploaded.  
UPLOAD\_ERR\_NO\_TMP\_DIR, value 6, means that no temporary directory is specified in the  
php.ini.

Below code works for me,

```auto
($_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"])

```

And I can’t be of any help unless you provide your full uploading code.

this could be related to the tmp folder issues all wordpress hostings on IF are currently having.

Can you share the thread on this please? Must be the same thing.  
Something seems to be wrong with the php.ini config

Hey, it’s not an error from your end; it’s a server issue. I checked with my website, and my images are not uploading either.
