File Upload

[dicamille]

Hi, I am trying to allow a user of my site to upload files to the server...I can get the file uploaded to the root directory, but when i try to upload to a specific folder i get a data stream error saying that the file stream cannot be opened...I have set the permissions of the folder that i have created to 777to allow all access to everyone, but that does nothing. Here is a sample of the code that I am using:

$uploaddir = 'upload/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir.$FILES['userfile']['name'];
echo $uploadfile;
print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. ";
print "Here's some more debugging info:\n";
print_r($FILES);
} else {
print "Possible file upload attack! Here's some debugging info:\n";
print_r($FILES);
}
print "</pre>";

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where is uploaddir relative from? The root? You don't specify it here:
$uploaddir = 'upload/';

Maybe you should be more explicit?
$uploaddir = "/upload/";

Or
$uploaddir = "/" . $pathToTheBase" . "/upload/";

Or better yet:
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $pathToTheBase . "/upload/".

After you echo:
$uploadfile = $uploaddir.$_FILES['userfile']['name'];
echo $uploadfile;

If all the above is correct, then check to see if the $_FILES variable contains the right filename. Also, does your directory exist?

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'
], $uploadfile))
