move_uploaded_file oddness: "File was not able to be uploaded properly"

Question

I have looked through about 5 or so questions that are like this and none have solved my issue. Here is the the one that most the most helpful but still did not solve it PHP move_uploaded_file yet another not working.

Here is the code in question along with the debug code at the top.

$tempPath = $_FILES[ 'file' ][ 'tmp_name' ];    
error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$uploadPath = storage_path() . '/uploads/' . 'test' . '.csv';
$targetDir = storage_path() . '/uploads/';
$realTargetDir = realpath($targetDir);

echo '<pre>Debug: tmp file:', htmlspecialchars($tempPath), "</pre>\n";
echo '<pre>Debug: target directory: ', htmlspecialchars($targetDir), "</pre>\n";
echo '<pre>Debug: real target: ', htmlspecialchars($realTargetDir), "</pre>\n";
echo '<pre>Debug: source readable: ', is_readable($tempPath), "</pre>\n";
echo '<pre>Debug: target is_dir: ', is_dir($targetDir) ? 'yes':'no', "</pre>\n";
echo '<pre>Debug: target writable: ', is_writeable($targetDir) ? 'yes':'no', "</pre>\n";

if(!move_uploaded_file( $tempPath, $uploadPath )) {
    dd("File was not able to be uploaded properly.");
}

This outputs the following.

Debug: tmp file:/tmp/phpeFIjWc
Debug: target directory: /var/www/default/api/orgsync/app/storage/uploads/
Debug: real target: /var/www/default/api/orgsync/app/storage/uploads
Debug: source readable: 1
Debug: target is_dir: yes
Debug: target writable: yes
string 'File was not able to be uploaded properly.' (length=42)

To my understanding this is exactly what I want. I have a readable file and a writable directory. $_FILES['file']['error'] also spits out a 0 at me.

The files are all owned by the www-data user and group who I have checked is set at the user and group in my httpd.conf file.

 User www-data
 Group www-data

I am really at a loss of what step I should even take next to debug this. This is on a vagrant box if that makes any difference.

Answer 1

Since is_uploaded_file returns false, that’s where the real issue lies here – because move_uploaded_file performs the same check, and refuses to do anything and only returns false if it has come to the conclusion that the file in question has not actually originated in an HTTP file upload received by PHP.

So go you must … and figure out why that path is not the path to an actual uploaded temp file.

Answer 2

Ok so the issue was I was working with another library and didn't realize that it was moving where the tmp file was uploaded. Although I was getting the proper location returned to me and the file existed I could no longer move it with move_uploaded_file. I which the function call to rename and everything worked great.

Answer 3

move_uploaded_files() requires a full path + filename (or at LEAST a filename). You're providing ONLY a path.

e.g.

move_uploaded_files($source, '/upload/destination/'); //invalid
move_uploaded_files($source, '/upload/destination/foo.txt'); //VALID
                    you MUST provide a filename---^^^^^^^

Getting a 0 for your ['error'] means that the file was upload successfully - you're just not moving it correctly.
