Attachment feature not working

[JohnL]

Is there some trick to getting the attachment feature to work on a Win2K server? Neither the link or the file is being displayed on the post.

Check your upload_tmp_dir setting in php.ini and set it to c:/temp/

[JohnL]

It's currently set as follows and the directory is valid.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
file_uploads = On ; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads
upload_tmp_dir = C:\PHP\uploadtemp ; temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not specified)
upload_max_filesize = 2M ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files

I don't get an error or anything but the attachment does not display. There is the little paperclip icon on the thread list but that's it.

Will changing the directory make a difference?

Change C:\PHP\uploadtemp to C:/PHP/uploadtemp

[JohnL]

Are you supposed to use forward slashes on a Win2K server?

[Kier]

C:/PHP/uploadtemp/

exactly as it is written above.

[JohnL]

I made that change and it is still not working.

Have exactly the same problem

I have exactly the same problem? I see attachment icon on overview yet no file or link for images

Win NT, version 2.0.0 final

Tried many variation in php.ini (also safe_mode on and off)

Note: avatars don't work either (same upload procedure I guess)

Very interested in solution

in functions.php
find

function acceptupload($moderate=0) {

now in this function replace as required below

  global $attachextensions,$maxattachsize,$bbuserinfo,$maxattachwidth, $maxattachheight;
  global $safeupload,$tmppath, $allowduplicates;

  $attachment_name = strtolower($attachment_name);
  $extension=getextension($attachment_name);
$attachment=str_replace("C:WINDOWSTEMP","C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP\\",$attachment);

  if (strpos("  $attachextensions  "," $extension ")==0) {
    // invalid extension
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_attachbadtype")."\");");
    exit;
  }

[JohnL]

Did everyone else have to make that change? Doesn't seem like that's the case.

[JohnL]

It seems like all of the people having trouble getting attachments to upload are using Win2K servers. If someone using a Win2K server has this feature working, could you please post here?
