File upload Problems

[alekseyn]

Spacecop, hang in there I might have a solution for you... please do not use my suggestion yet...

Matteo... coding question for you:

this function causes the problem when the safe_mod or open_basedir is in effect:

function called by lines:

PHP Code:

        // copy file
        if (!makeDir($settings->_contentDir . $dir)) return false; 


so the function explodes a path into this:

PHP Code:

Array ( 
[0] => 
[1] => users 
[2] => schule 
[3] => www 
[4] => 1 
[5] => download 
[6] => 1048576 
[7] => 1 
[8] => 4 
[9] => ) 


and then you check if each element is a folder and if not, you recreate it with

PHP Code:

        if( !is_dir( $mkfolder ) ){
            $res=@mkdir( "$mkfolder" ,  0777);
            if (!$res) return false;
        } 


so in this case, the restriction in effect, does not allow folder /users to be even checked... then my question is, why can't we just do the checking for any folder ONLY inside the $_contentDir? why checking the full path?
