uploading file thing

[Anon]

I'm getting the following error when trying to upload an image using

if($file_sml!='none')
{
copy($file_sml, "/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/a51/9c.slicks/$file_sml");
unlink($file_sml)

}

Warning: Unable to create '/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/a51/9c.slicks//var/tmp/phpP69342': No such file or directory in inc/videos.php4 on line 29

---

Any ideas from people out there? the files are nowhere near the directory I am trying to upload to.

I have never uploaded files before with PHP and im a bit lost, and help would be greatly appreciated.

Does the directory you are copying the file to have the correct permissions? Otherwise you might not be able to upload the file. i.e. create the file in that directory..

How do I know if the permissions are ok?

the file is not within the root of the user directory tree that the php is in.

Do you know how to set permissions say with telnet?
