I'm using this tjust see if I can upload an img I tryed 2 different dir and to different upload scripts doing the same thing this is basic and should work

// Upload File
$path = "temp/img";

 if ($full_image) {
    if(copy($full_image, $path)) {
      echo "FILE UPLOADED";
    } else {
      echo "ERROR UPLOADING FILE";
    }
 }

If you assume everything in your code is correct, we can't help you. Show the code that is producing the double slashes (ie: where is the D:\WEB WORK\... coming from?).

The snippet you posted does not show where anything comes from. $path does not contain a file name. What is $full_image and where does it come from?

It is just a form field

the script i posted is what happens when you hit submit

Last try...

Look. Everything matters in your script. Post the code. Just from your code snippets I can tell you don't have a handle on what you are trying to do:

$path has to be an absolute path and file name in order for copy() to work.

You can't check if ($full_image) because it is a form var and will always be set even if no image is uploaded.

Your <FORM> tag has to have the correct type and method.

Your concerned about the double slashes, but you don't show where the original path is coming from.

etc. etc. etc.

Ok the code is as followed

This is page 1 the form

</form>
there are a couple of other fields not related to the upload i'm not doing no check right now

2 page the upload script

  // Upload File
 $path = "temp/img/";
 if ($full_image) {
    if(copy($full_image, $path.$full_image)) {
      echo "FILE UPLOADED";
    } else {
      echo "ERROR UPLOADING FILE";
    }

NOW i'M NOW IN THIS AREA OF PHP
and I apologize for makeing it hard for you to help me

this is all I have at the present time the double slash are from what I can see coming from the locatiuon of the file on the user or my computer.

I have PHP Professional Programming This is where I getting the code from

Thanks for your help

Ok...

It looks like you are trying to upload the image file to a directory on the server called "temp/img/"?

First of all, you must specify am absolute directory path for where you want the image to be copied to. It doesn't look like "temp/img" is an absolute path, but depending on your OS and installation, I could be wrong. I would expect that on *NIx machines it would look something like:

$path="/var/www/html/temp/img/"

or on windoze it would look like:
$path="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\temp\img\" (yes, those are double slashes)

Second, You can not just concatenate the $full_image variable to $path. $full_image is a pointer to the file in your servers memory or temp storage where the uploaded file is stored until your script is done. Depending on your PHP installation, you would have to use $full_image_name (if REGISTER_GLOBALS is on) or you would have to get the name from the $HTTP_POST_FILES array as follows:
$filename=$HTTP_POST_FILES['full_image']['name'];

These are the primary problems with your script that I can see. For more info on uploading files, see the manual at:
