file upload question

Anon

hey im getting an "unable to create...file or directory does not exist..." error for this file upload...can anyone see whats wrong with my code:

<?php
$move_to_dir = '/dev/photos';

if ( file_exists($userfile) )
{
	// File is uploaded
	copy($userfile, $move_to_dir . '/' . $userfile_name);
}
else
{
	echo "error";
}

I just started using PHP but here is my guess as to what your problem may be:

Looks to me like your $move_to_dir is incorrect and the error you are getting would indicate the same. It should be set to something like '/home/domain_name/www/dev/photos', where domain_name is your domain name. Also, 'home' and 'www' are what ever is used in your actual home directory path.

It looks like you are using this to upload photos. Have you tried viewing the uploaded photos from your server to make sure they uploaded correctly? What image type are your photos? I wrote a script to upload jpg images to my server, which worked, but when I tried to view the uploaded images from the server I noticed that the jpg images were all skewed and fragmented. Did you have any similiar problems with your photos?

Thanks,

my pics seem to look fine when i upload them...are your pics of a large size? maybe that is why...im uploading only jpg files but i tested it with gif files as well...here's my script if u want to take a look:

<?php

$move_to_dir = '/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/dev/photos';

if ( file_exists($userfile) )
{
	// File is uploaded
	copy($userfile, $move_to_dir . '/' . $userfile_name);
	echo "it works! :)";
}
else
{
	echo "error it doesnt work :(";
}

unlink($userfile);

hope it helps...
