errors uploading files with php

[rleonen]

When I try to upload a file using the copy() function I get the following error message.

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10003 is not allowed to access /tmp/phpqiTkKp owned by uid 0 in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/ralphworld.com/httpdocs/fileupload.php3 on line 25

Couldn't copy the file!

Any clues as to what could be the problem?

thanks,
Ralph.

talk to your web host. they've got php running in safe mode and have restricted the copy() function (along with several others most likely). see if they have a work around to this issue.

it isn't a problem with your script.

Thanks Brandon. I checked out my hosts setup with phpinfo() and they do have safe mode enabled. I'm waiting on a reply from them as to when and how I should proceed.
