copy()

[Trid3nt]

I keep getting an error with the script that I wrote to upload files to the server. I am using the copy function, but perhaps I am using it improperly.

if (copy ($File, $exact_directory)){

$File is the variable given by the form and $exact_directory is the directory path from root on the server to where the image should be stored. $exact_directory also includes the filename that I want the $File to be saved as. Is there any reason why this error comes up?

Warning: Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in upload_image.php on line 21

I have even echoed the $exact_directory variable to the screen just before calling this function and it is precisely what it shoud be. Perhaps I am using the function incorrectly. Any suggestions?

if (file_exists($filename)) {post to server code}

remember to include the path to $filename

This is the line before it.

if ($image_exist == 0 && !(file_exists("$exact_directory")) && is_dir($exact_dir_nofn)){

$image_exist is set to a mysql_num_rows($query) call.
$exact_dir_nofn is set be $exact_dir without the filename.

So it knows that the file does not exist within that directory, and that the directory exists. I dont' know why it cannot copy to the said directory...

Do I need to open the directory before copying to it?

Remember that if you're using a relative directory, the relative directory is based on where the php script is located.

Maybe try this:

if(file_exists($filepath))
{
    if(is_dir($directorypath)
    {
        copy($File, $exact_directory);
     }
    else echo "Not a valid Directory";
}
else echo "File does not exist";
