Still getting the same error. Hmmm......

Here's my attached file, Lynne -- as my email client is acting up lol.

For some reason, the lines are getting all run together by your editor and that is why you are getting the error.

For instance, your file line 1 shows:
Whereas it should only be:
I will email a fresh copy of the script to you. This is very strange! You are the first person to say this has happened to the file.

I believe that is from:
I'm using CofeeCup HTML editor 2008, paid version.

Just ran it again, and it worked. However, files are not showing up. I've cmod the backups folder, still isn't working. This is really strange.

I know what the code is from, however it is on line two of my script and if you look at what you attached, line 2 of my script is merged in which line 1 in your attached script. And, that happened with several lines. Very weird, as I said. I'm not sure why that would happen. I am just using a simple text editor, BBEdit, to write it and I don't think it should cause that problem. Who knows.

Is the action getting logged, just not producing any output? Are you getting any files output? Did you run it 'as-is' or with your modifications? Do you know if passthru() is an allowable function on your server?

That I'll have to find out. I'll report back tomorrow. I'm too tired, need some sleep now. See you tomorrow! Thanks for your help, too.

Hello Lynne,

Haven't seen if passthru() is enabled on my server, yet (although I think it is) -- but I just noticed the attach, avatars, and profilepics in my forums directory as a .tar file. Any ideas as to why it is saving too my forums directory? I certainly don't have that set for the backup folder.

If you are getting some files, then passthru is working fine.

It sounds like either you don't have the correct path set for the backup directory you want them to be moved to, or you don't have the correct permissions set for the directory. The script makes the backup and then moves the file. Looking at the file you attached above, you have this as your line:
$backupto = "/home/user/backups1";

You need to add the trailing slash. It should be:
$backupto = "/home/user/backups1/";

Hi Lynne,

That is an old file, the new one has the trailing slash. I have also cmod the folder to 777. Any other suggestions..... ?

I'd have to look at the form to see if something else is wrong. You can try attaching it here or sending it via email (if you have that working again). It seems that if the permissions and ownership is correct, it should work.
