upload-file problem

[mihaita]

if(move_uploaded_file($FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'],"C:\uploads{$FILES['thefile']['name']}"))
this line is detected with this error by php:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\upload_file.php on line 9
i can't see the mistake...as the code is not made by me, it's from a php book.this line verifies if the uploaded file can be removed from the temporary dir to the permanent dir

You need to use double back-slashes, since the backslash is the escape character in a double-quoted string:

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'],"C:\\uploads\\{$_FILES['thefile']['name']}"))
