Upload problem - Internal server error

Chimps

I have a very simple script to upload a file. Here is the code:

<html>
<head>
       <title>Upload</title>
</head>
<?php
     if(isset($fupload)) {
     copy ( $fupload, "\myfile.gif") or die ("Couldn't copy");
     }
?>
<body>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="example.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="50000">
File Name: <input type="file" name="fupload"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

When I try to execute it, I get an internal server error.
I am using apache 1.3.26/windows 2000/php 4.3.1

Thanks.

Sorry...I copied the code wrong...
the copy() funcion should be:

copy ( $fupload, "\myfile.gif") or die ("Couldn't copy");

Actually....I didnt copy it wrong...the backslash "\" is not appearing on the forum....but anyways, in the original code, its there.

I tested this, and it worked fine for me. Have other seemingly-correct scripts not worked for you?

Also, if you use $fupload_name as a variable, it will use the name of the file on the remote computer. This allows you to name it as it was before sent, rather than just sending as myfile.gif.

Actually...I cant reallly use global variables or even server variables....I have changed global variales to ON, but it still does not work.

Have you tried reinstalling PHP, or trying another build? (Like an older or newer one, just to test if it works.)
