php - uploadifive: uploading does not work, maybe it's a root issue? -

the past 6 days have been busy multiple file upload. found uploadify , tried free version. didn't work out bought uploadifive. still doesn't work out. if change nothing code , implement got it, doesn't upload file. don't errors, uploadbar goes 100%. , uploadfolder stays empty. have set chmod permissions 755 advised , tried 777. tried changing $_server['document_root'] . $targetfolder absolute path. when echo document_root gives /htdocs. doesn't matter in folder put it.

i'm losing mind on , don't know how solve this. below i've posted code index.php , uploadifive.php got after download:

index.php

<form>     <div id="queue"></div>     <input id="file_upload" name="file_upload" type="file" multiple="true">     <a style="position: relative; top: 8px;" href="javascript:$('#file_upload').uploadifive('upload')">upload files</a> </form>  <script type="text/javascript">     <?php $timestamp = time();?>     $(function() {         $('#file_upload').uploadifive({             'auto'             : false,             'checkscript'      : 'check-exists.php',             'formdata'         : {                                    'timestamp' : '<?php echo $timestamp;?>',                                    'token'     : '<?php echo md5('unique_salt' . $timestamp);?>'                                  },             'queueid'          : 'queue',             'uploadscript'     : 'uploadifive.php',             'onuploadcomplete' : function(file, data) { console.log(data); }         });     }); </script> 

uploadifive.php

// set uplaod directory $uploaddir = '/uploads/';  // set allowed file extensions $filetypes = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png'); // allowed file extensions  $verifytoken = md5('unique_salt' . $_post['timestamp']);  if (!empty($_files) && $_post['token'] == $verifytoken) { $tempfile   = $_files['filedata']['tmp_name']; $uploaddir  = $_server['document_root'] . $uploaddir; $targetfile = $uploaddir . $_files['filedata']['name'];  // validate filetype $fileparts = pathinfo($_files['filedata']['name']); if (in_array(strtolower($fileparts['extension']), $filetypes)) {      // save file     move_uploaded_file($tempfile, $targetfile);     echo 1;  } else {      // file type wasn't allowed     echo 'invalid file type.';  } } 

does see problem here?

it $_server['document_root']. removing , replacing rootfolder did trick.

adjusted code:

// set upload directory $uploaddir = '/uploads/';  if (!empty($_files) && $_post['token'] == $verifytoken) {     $tempfile   = $_files['filedata']['tmp_name'];     $uploaddir  = '../htdocs'. $uploaddir;     $targetfile = $uploaddir . $_files['filedata']['name'];     

thanks :)
