Help with a file uploader...please...

[Anon]

Hi all, I'm coding out a script that has to do the following things:

• create a directory with the $fupload_name
• upload the file into that folder

Here it is the script:

<?php

if (isset ($carfile)) {
	mkdir ( "/web/site/uploaded_cars/".$carfile_name, 777);
	$fupload = $carfile;
	copy ( $fupload, "/web/site/uploaded_cars/$carfile_name/") or
		die ("Cannot upload file");
	}

?>

I press Upload and I get this message:

Warning: Unable to create '/web/jpracing/uploaded_cars/README.txt/': Is a directory in /web/jpracing/testing/script.inc on line 6

Why?

Every suggestion is appreciated...!

Ehm...you are copying a file to a directory...
but you never create the directory... so how can you copy it there?

If you are doing testing, make sure you didn't already create that directory on a previous test run.

Not sure, but you don't need that last '/' on the end of your copy. It looks like it is trying to copy your file to a directory with the name of readme.txt/ . Try taking it out...

Hope that helps.

err... unless that was what you were trying to do... ugh. Been looking at too much code.
