Copy is not working

[Shawazi]

my Copy code is not working I have no idea why

here is the form

	<FORM ACTION="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>?step=1" METHOD="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
		<br><br>
		<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=500><tr><td align=left>

	<input type="file" size=25 name="importfile"><br>
	<br>



	<input class=submit type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File">
	</td></tr></table>
	</form>

Then when step is 1 it's supposed to copy over. I set all the permissions up.

$leadfile = "eng/tmp/$importfile_name";
			//unlink($leadfile);
			copy($importfile, "eng/tmp/$importfile_name");
			unlink($importfile);

I've used copy before, is there something specialabout this that I'm missing? The filename is Chiller1Data04-02-03.txt does this code not like dashes?

Where are you getting $importfile_name from?

You may need to read the section on $_FILE and move_uploaded_file() in the manual.

[Shawazi]

since its enctype is multipart there is already a variable. for $importfile_name. It is automatically just the filename instead of the whole directory tagged behind it

It may be because register_globals is off by default in php4.3

Try echoing the variable to see if it contains something.

Otherwise use the $_FILES super-global to get the values.
