Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move 'C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-7\tmp\php7B.tmp' to 'uploads/printer.txt' in c:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\smtt\uploader.php on line 16
There was an error uploading the file, please try again!

I am assuming you have created the tmp and upload directories that it is looking for to upload and move the file.

You are using a slash in a Windows file path. Try changing your target_path to a backslash:

$target_path = "uploads\";

You might need to use:

$target_path = "uploads\\";

to escape the backslash and avoid syntax errors

Nothing wrong with that - I always use forward slashes, even when working in Windows. Easier, plus you avoid issues with escaping (as ClarkF1) pointed out.

As is mentioned, the problem is probably that you didn't create the 'uploads' directory first. It doesn't seem to be a permissions problem... but then again, who knows! Had you already created the 'uploads' directory in the same folder as this script when you got this error?
