[Lauj]

When uploading files to server, how do I specify which folder to store the files on the server?

What sort of permission should the folder be having to be able to receive the file? Currently the folder is set to 762 but I still error about permission denied.

Thanks! I tried that and it doesn't work. I also try 766 and it's not working either. However, 776 is working. So, here's another thing. How do I limit to only upload images such as jpeg file format to this directory?

$_FILES['userfile']['name'] will hold the name picture.jpg

use substr() to take the last 4 chars and check that against

an array of .ext you will allow other wise create error and stop move file

Many thanks for the help. I'm thinking of the function getimagesize(). However, do I test the getimagesize() to see if it is a jpeg file before I do the move_uploaded_file() or can I do the move_uploaded_file() first then do the getimagesize()? Question is, I'm not sure if I can do the getimagesize() before move_uploaded_file because the getimagesize requires a specific path. But if I do the getimagesize after the move_uploaded_file(), how do I delete the file from the path once it is not a jpeg file?

i would test before moving file

other wise you will have to delete the file from where you just moved it to
