Check the file permissions. Make sure everyone's got read access.

Well it definitely sounds like some sort of problem with access permissions in windows, especially if you say the images are displayed on the website properly, and you can view them in a web browser.

what php script are you using that is giving the problem?

Also, I tried to upload said images to my real website via FTP and got errors.

So, why is that? Anyone got any ideas?

make sure when your uploading by FTP your using "binary" transfer.

function uploadImage($path='',$image='')
{
    if (is_dir($path)) {
        if (is_uploaded_file ($image['tmp_name'])) {
        $imageName = $image['name'];

        move_uploaded_file ($image['tmp_name'], $path . $imageName);        

        return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

If I copy the images from the server box to my PC and then upload via FTP, or view them, they all work fine.

The upload script is just your basic upload script.

Code:

function uploadImage($path='',$image='')
{
    if (is_dir($path)) {
        if (is_uploaded_file ($image['tmp_name'])) {
        $imageName = $image['name'];

        move_uploaded_file ($image['tmp_name'], $path . $imageName);        

        return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

Put in some debug echo's to check that your $path and $image variables contain the right information.

Also add some debug echo's that'll show the code path and return values.

Are you sure the code is doing what you think it is?

I'm pretty sure the code is doing what I think it is, seeings it works.

It uploads the images fine, and puts them in the right directory fine. The images work fine on the website, and while using VNC on the server everything is normal. With the upload script on my real website, everything works fine...I can download images, view them, blah blah everything is fine.

The only problem is that I cannot view images from my PC by selecting them from the networked folder. I can see them fine on the website, but I cannot view them and cannot move them. I can move/view any other file on the server, except for uploaded images.

Is there some type of setting in the Apache config or php.ini that changes uploaded file privileges that I'm not aware of?

Ah, sry... tbh, I cba to read the whole thread... so why were you posting the script, if it works???

anyhoo... nm... that's a weird one, what file privileges do the uploaded files, and the directory they're in, have?

Can you drag an image file, via the network, from your PC, to said directory?
