Need help with PHP file Upload/Download system

#1

Post by Splicer-Fox »

I have developed my own PHP file Upload/Download system for use on clients' servers.
But I can’t get it to work on this 1 specific server.

What my system basically does is:
Create 3 types of users.
And assigns files uploaded to certain group or user so they can download it whenever they need.

I am basically asking if there is a quick and easy alternative too it. (Like a CMS that is just that.)
I will continue to try to get mine to work.
But I might need something as a backup plan in case I can’t resolve it.

They don’t want file exchange servers, btw.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I must warn I'm a PHP novice still my friend. But I do know servers pretty well. If you're on the IRC channels or have a IM client then PM its details and I'll help you to the best of my abilities :)

OK

I have at least got access to the server’s panel.
Maybe there is a setting that’s wrong.

I figured out why my files were not uploading…
In other words I rewrote the whole damn thing and whatever was wrong sorted itself.
(it still does not make sense. Why would it work on other servers if there was an mistake).

Now I need to add a unnecessary modification to it for the client.
I got a bad feeling about this too :(
I might be working on Monday.

I don't need help for now
But I will probably need again soon :(

Not all servers have the same modules loaded. PHP has over ~300 modules. ~97 of which are optional. so if one of said 97 were not loaded then and your program relied on it. It wouldn't work on that server.
