Yes I did an dI am using this function however it does not work

unction do_upload($photo,$newname)

{

global $tmp_upload_path;
global $new_file_name;
global $photo;
global $newname;

$file = basename($photo);
$tmp_upload_path = "c:\\PHP\uploadtemp\";
$new_file_name = "c:\\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\realestate\agents\$newname.jpg";
if (!copy($tmp_upload_path.$file, $new_file_name)) echo "failed to copy file\n";
return;
}

I recieve this error

Warning: Unable to open 'c:\PHP\uploadtemp\Sample.jpg"' for reading: Invalid argument in repro_functions.inc on line 26
failed to copy file

I have spent 3 hours trouble shhoting this and it still does not work

The full path to the uploaded file is stored in $photo and $newname. I dont understand why you mess around with the path ?

Also, what is the idea behind the global variables. you get $photo and $newname as input parameters to do_upload() ?

function do_upload($photo,$newname)

{

$new_file = "file_1";

if (!copy($photo, $new_file_name)) echo "failed to copy file $photo to $new_file\n";
return;
}

Try this, it should not be any harder than this :-)

Good luck

OK now I am getting this error

Warning: Unable to create 'agents/181152339': Permission denied in /home/freesite/public_html/repro/repro_functions.inc on line 18
failed to copy file /tmp/phpRF1dRE to agents/181152339

*************Here is my form
<?$file_id = date("Hisz");?>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>?session_id=<?=$session_id?>&action=<?=$action?>" method="post">

</form>

******************Here is my script

function do_upload($userfile,$newname)

{

$new_file = "agents/".$newname;

if (!copy($userfile, $new_file)) echo "failed to copy file $userfile to $new_file\n";
return;
}

Whats the Problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems like you dont have write access to the directory you try to store your new file in..

If it is on a unix server, chmod o+rwx will fix this problem
