Frustrating copy() Problem: /var/tmp// ???

[bisonman]

I'm trying to get this image upload function to work, and I'm stuck at a seemingly simple problem I can't solve.

Here's the file with everything all-inclusive:

<?php

//***DB connect info omitted


if ($do_add == 'yes') {

$dest = "../images/uploaded/";
//Full path used, I truncated for privacy


if ($userfile_name != '') { 

if($userfile_size > 80000) { 
        echo "File size is bigger than 80kb!"; 
              exit; 
            } 

copy($userfile, $dest.$userfile_name) 
        or die("No copy!"); 

} else { 

die("No input file!"); 

	} 



$title_slash = addslashes($title);

$descr_slash = addslashes($description);

$query= "insert into $subject
 (img_name,title,descr,cat_id,height,width) values 
('" . $userfile_name . "','" . $title_slash . "',
'" . $descr_slash . "','" . $cat_id . "',
'" . $img_size[0] . "','" . $img_size[1] . "')";							

mysql_query($query);

echo "Image uploaded successfully.<br><br><br>";

$do_update = 'no';

}

else {

echo	"<form action=$PHP_SELF method=post enctype='multipart/form-data'> \n

<table border=0>\n

<tr>\n
	<td valign=top>Category: </td>\n
	<td valign=top>\n";

include ("pages/dropdown_images_cat.inc");

echo	"</td>\n
</tr>\n

<tr>\n
	<td valign=top>Image: </td>\n
	<td valign=top><INPUT TYPE=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=80000>\n
	<INPUT NAME='userfile' TYPE=file></td>\n
	</tr>\n

<tr>\n
	<td valign=top>Title: </td>\n
	<td valign=top><input type=text name=title size=40></td>\n
</tr>\n

<tr>\n
	<td valign=top>Description: </td>\n
	<td valign=top><textarea name=description rows=10 cols=40></textarea></td>\n
</tr>\n

</table>\n

<input type=hidden name='db_type' value=$db_type>\n
<input type=hidden name='do_add' value='yes'>\n
<input type=submit value='Submit Form'>\n
<input type=reset value='Reset Form'>\n

</form>\n";

}


?>

Even though I've checked it over several times and it seems correct, I keep getting the following error message:

Warning: Unable to create '../images/uploaded/pic.jpg': No such file or directory in ../add_images.php on line 36

Again, the full path is shown, but I need my privacy.

I commented out the copy() section and echoed the mysql query, and everything looked the way it should (image name and dimensions came out right, etc.). I double-checked, and yes, the /uploaded/ file is CHMODed 777.

I decided to echo $userfile, and got this:

/var/tmp//phpQ0NlWC

Could the double slashes be the reason I'm getting nowhere? It seems likely to me that it's causing the problem, but I have no idea where the extra slash is coming from.

Help?
