Strange Error...

Anon

Warning: Unable to open '\php2' for reading: No such file or directory in c:\phpdev\www\do_upload.php on line 5
Couldn't copy the file.

This is the error I get with an "uploading a file to a website" script. I have copied the code exactly from the book PHP Fast & Easy Web Development (I even got the code from their website and used that... With changes made to the directory where the file will be going of course), and I still get this message. I don't know why it's mentioning PHP2, as I've got PHP4 on my system. Could it be a mistake on FirePages' end? I'm using their Apache/PHP/MySql bundle.

unfortunately i'm not able to remember what was causing this warning message :-)... if you would be so kind to post, at least the first 5 lines of your Code ?

THE ERROR

Warning: Unable to open '\php2' for reading: No such file or directory in c:\phpdev\www\do_upload.php on line 5
Couldn't copy the file.

HTML SCRIPT (part of)

File to upload:<br>
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="img1" SIZE="30">

PHP SCRIPT

<?PHP

if ($img1_name != "") {

copy("$img1", "/apache/bin/$img1_name")
or die("Couldn't copy the file.");

} else {

die("No input file specified");

}

Success!<br>
You sent: <? echo "$img1_name"; ?>

I'd see what the $img1 var contains when it tries to copy the image over. Make sure $img1 has a valid path to the tmp file.

Also check to see the $img1 var path has a "\" in the path rather than a "\".

check out http://php.net/manual/features.file-upload.php for more info.
