uploading files

[rulian]

okay, I've got my upload nearly working, except that i keep getting denied no matter what I do. I've tried setting every permission on all my folders to write.

here is my error:

Unable to create 'uploads/findthisfile.jpg': Permission denied in localfiles/pictureupload.dat on ....

here is the copy code:
$directory="uploads";
$writefile=basename($file_name);
$writepreview=basename($preview_name);

if ( (!copy($file, "$directory/$writefile")) AND (!copy($preview, "$directory/$writepreview")))echo "Could not copy file";

else {echo "file upload successfull"; $doupload="yes"; }

can anyone tell me what's wrong here?

Hi,

Is your $directory a relative or absolute path to the file?

I'm note sure but for me when I use a relative path I would write

$directopry="./uploads";

Tell me when you find out.

yeah, i use relative path
