Avatars not uploading

I'm having a problem with my avatars not uploading from the usercp. I have no problem uploading from the admin screen. I'm looking at this code in the member.php file to find the bug

PHP Code:

      // check for new uploaded file or for new url
      $avatarurl=trim($avatarurl);
      if ($avatarurl!="" and $avatarurl!="http://www.") {
        // get file from url

        $filenum=@fopen($avatarurl,"rb");
        if ($filenum!=0) {
          $contents="";
          while (!@feof($filenum)) {
            $contents.=@fread($filenum,1024); //filesize($filename));
          }
          @fclose($filenum);

          $avatarfile_name = "vba".substr(time(),-4);
          if ($safeupload) {
            $filename="$tmppath/$avatarfile_name";
            $filenum=@fopen($filename,"wb");
            @fwrite($filenum,$contents);
            @fclose($filenum);
          } else {
            // write in temp dir
            $filename=tempnam(get_cfg_var("upload_tmp_dir"),"vbavatar");
            $filenum=@fopen($filename,"wb");
            @fwrite($filenum,$contents);
            @fclose($filenum);
          }
        } else {
          // invalid address error
          eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_avatarbadurl")."\");");
          exit;
        }
      } else {
        // check file exists on server
        if ($safeupload) {
          $filename="";
           $path = "$tmppath/$avatarfile_name";
          if (function_exists("is_uploaded_file") and is_uploaded_file($avatarfile) and move_uploaded_file($avatarfile, "$path")) {
            if (file_exists($path)) {
              if (filesize($path)!=$avatarfile_size) {
                // security error
                eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_avataruploaderror")."\");");
              } ####### END if (filesize($path)!=$avatarfile_size) {

              $filename=$path;
            } else {
              // bad upload
              $avatarid=0;
              $filename="";
            } ####### END if (file_exists($path)) {
          } ####### END if (function_exists("is_uploaded_file") and is_uploaded_file($avatarfile) [...]
        } else {
          if (file_exists($avatarfile)) {
            if (filesize($avatarfile)!=$avatarfile_size) {
              eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_avataruploaderror")."\");");
              // security error
              exit;
            }
            $filename=$avatarfile;
          } else {
            // bad upload
            $avatarid=0;
            $filename="";
          }
        } ####### END if ($safeupload) {
      } ####### END if ($avatarurl!="" and $avatarurl!="http://www.") { 


The error I'm receiving is "Error - cannot find an image at the specified URL. Please make sure that you have entered a valid URL." I'm not trying to access an avatar by URL but by upload from my own computer. ANy help is appreciated. Thanks.

Ok then in whatever hack you got replace $avatarurl with $hackavatarurl (in both files and templates), so it won't ruin the $avatarurl used for uploading avatars.

Hey ... very well. That solved my avatar-problem ... fantastic.


Thank you very much for your help, Sirs!
