Try

$name = "folder/$userfile_name";

This should work.

ok, if I understand right, you are trying to copy a file from one dir to another. Try it like this:

$userfile = "/diffrent/folder/$userfile_name";//Directory where file to copy is
$name = "/folder/$userfile_name";//Directory to copy file to
copy($userfile,$name);

Allthough I havn't tested it, I think it should work.

Are the file locations correct,and are you allowed to read/write those files?
