Upload image from script

[techmeister]

Hi all:

I have a script that uploads an image to a dir on my web-server:

But I get this error message:

Warning: Unable to create '/path/to/htdocs/sport/images/news/': Is a directory in /path/to/htdocs/sport/admin/step4.php on line 109
Bodged file upload on update!

Weird thing is, the uploaded image is right there in that directory!
So why am I getting this error message?

My upload script, 'step4.php' :

$destination="/path/to/htdocs/sport/images/news/";
copy($newsstoryimage,$destination . $newsstoryimage_name);
if(!copy($newsstoryimage,$destination)) { //Start of 'if' clause is line 109
echo "Bodged file upload on update!";
exit;
}
else {
echo "File was sucessfully uploaded!";
}

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated as would any security issues you guys may be aware of when dealing with image/file uploads from the web.

Cheers and thanks.

$newsstoryimage_name is empty

As far as I am aware: '$newsstoryimage_name' is the name/file-suffix for the image file.

In which case it is not empty as the image and it's suffix are both uploaded, and I can view them in a browser when I point it to the /path/to/sport/images/news/myimage.gif

Cheers anyway!
If nayone else has any ideas they'd be more than welcome.
