ok, I figured it out, and I had to really reach back into my PHP books to find this.
$path = "/server/path/with/file/name/$pic";
if (is_uploaded_file($bandpic)) { //upload
if (move_uploaded_file($bandpic, "$path")) { //moves & rename
/ read file
$filesize=filesize($bandpic);
$filenum=fopen($path,"rb");
$filestuff=fread($filenum,$filesize);
fclose($filenum);
//above are ways to read the file.
/
}
}
well, there it is, works like a charm for me. Hope I helped someone for once.
