Upload file to server outside codeigniter path

I am trying to move file outside Codeigniter path like "/home/uploads" using move_uploaded_file or copy but both method doesn't work!

I uploaded the files by using Grocery Crud library & tried to move file using callback_after_upload.

in Grocery Crud Controller:

 $crud->callback_after_upload(array($this, 'upload'));

and in the callback function:

function upload($uploader_response,$field_info, $files_to_upload){
ini_set("display_errors",1);
$baseURl = site_url();
            $upload_config['upload_path'] = ''; 
$file_uploaded = $field_info->upload_path.'/'.$uploader_response[0]->name; 
copy($file_uploaded, "/home/uploads/");

any help please!

Solution

  • I think you need to include the filename in the destination

    copy($file_uploaded, "/home/uploads/".$uploader_response[0]->name);

    move_uploaded_file() is probably more appropriate as it won't leave a file in the upload folder like copy() does. Again, include the file's name in the destination.
