uploading files

[aquaman1856]

Below is my code, can someone tell me why this is not working?

if (!@copy($the_file, "$the_path")) {
echo ("File successfully copied!");
} else {
$error = "Error, failed to copy!";
}

If you do:

if(!@copy($the_file, "$the_path") { ...

the condition is true if the copy is unsuccesful. You have an echo message saying the file was succesfully copied when in fact it wasn't.

Try removing the '!' so that it reads:

if(@copy($the_file, "$the_path") {

Didn't work.

Do you have proper permission to copy the files? Remember that the PHP script usually runs as the same user as the web server. This means that you may not be able to copy files to directories if they aren't writable by everyone.
