Saving images/pictures on Windows machine

[acwibier]

Hi,

I have a small problem. I am transferring a PHP program that runs under Unix to a Windows version.

The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to translate the pathnames from Unix to Windows. For instance:

 
 if (isset($picture))
 {
  move_uploaded_file($picture, "/www/images/$picture_name");
 }

This one works fine, but when I try to translate it to:

 if (isset($picture))
 {
  move_uploaded_file($picture, "images\$picture_name");
 }

it just won't work!! :mad:

I even tried to use "images\$picture_name", but even that won't work. :mad:

What am I doing wrong here? 😕
I'm sure it's a small thing to solve, but these small things are easy to oversee, aren't they?

I hope you can help me out. Thanks a million in advance.

Best to use single quotes for windows filesystem because of their slashes. Just specify the absolute path.

move_uploaded_file($picture, 'C:\somefolder\images\'.$picture_name);
