file structure problem

[parms]

Hi all.

I have just figured out how to upload a file onto the server. The only problem i have now is that i need to dump that file into a folder that is 2 steps up in the directory structure. Unfortunately i cannot seem to do that.

I am used to using ../filename, but it does not work in this case.

Please help.

How are you trying to use it (i.e., code), and what is happening instead?

The code below is what i am using:

<?
//Code that uploads file to a directory
if ($btnSubmit){
$UploadDirectory = "../file_uploads/".$UploadFile_name;
copy($UploadFile, $UploadDirectory);
}
?>

The text below is the error message i get

Warning: Unable to create '../file_uploads/me_grass.jpg': No such file or directory in /homepages/9/d35497793/htdocs/adviser/admin/uploads/uploading_data.php on line 6

My guess then (if the error message is anything to go by) is that the directory
/homepages/9/d35497793/htdocs/adviser/admin/file_uploads/
doesn't exist.

You say you want to move it up two levels? To /homepages/9/d35497793/htdocs/adviser/file_uploads/ in other words? Wouldn't that be ../../file_uploads?
