how can u use "cp" at a Windows System?
I think may be this cause the Error.

First of all, I think the correct way to write your directory on a windows system is
c:\apache\htdocs......\
NOT
c:/apache/htdocs/../../../

If that does not help you, why don't you try COPY function instead of EXEC.

if ($submit) {

$db = mysql_connect("$localhost","$pd06975","$pc6975wa");

mysql_select_db("$joesauto",$db);

$sql = "INSERT INTO joesauto (year,make,model,price,picture_name) ".
"VALUES ('$year','$make','$model','$price','$picture_name')";

// define directory
$dir = 'c:\apache\htdocs\joesauto\images\';
$dir .= $picture_name;

// upload picture file
if( copy($picture, $dir) )
echo '<b>File Successfully copied</b>';
else
echo '<b>Error: Unable to upload file.</b>';

// destory file
unlink($picture);

echo "Year: $year<br>\n";
echo "Make: $make<br>\n";
echo "Model: $model<br>\n";
echo "Price: $price<br>\n";
echo "Temp file: $picture<br>\n";
echo "File Name: $picture_name<br>\n";
echo "File Size: $picture_size<br>\n";
echo "<br>\n";
echo "<img src=images/$picture_name><br>\n";

}

hmm... I'm also using Windows and COPY function works fine on my computer.

Anyways, here is my actual code.

// ##################
// form.php
// ##################

<head>
<title>Title Here!</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>

// ##################
// upload.php
// ##################
<?php

// directory
$dir = 'c:/tmp/';
$dir .= $picture_name;

// upload picture
if( @copy($picture, $dir) ) {
echo 'Upload successful!';
} else {
echo 'Upload failed!';
exit;
}

// print picture
echo '<br>';
echo "<img src=\"$dir\">";
