move_uploaded_file error

[MagnuM]

I am using PHP 4.3.1 on Windows 2000 with Apache 1.3.20.

If I try to upload a file with move_uploaded_file() funtion it gives me an error like that: "failed to create stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections".

The entire line is:

move_uploaded_file($uploadfile, "http://localhost/Img/test.gif");

But if I use the copy function like this:

copy($uploadfile, "c:/wwwroot/Img/test.gif") it realy works fine.

Can someone tell me what is the problem?

why not stick with the copy function then if it works

[MagnuM]

Actualy copy() function does not work with URL's like http://somesite.com.

The copy() funtcion work only with local path like c:/somedir.

[stolzyboy]

why do you need to use the full url??

[MagnuM]

You are right. I don't need it. The copy() function works fine.

In that case the move_uploaded_file() function would work fine, too; just use a file path instead of a URL (just as you are for copy()).
