Fileupload Issues

[Anon]

I'm not sure where the root of this issue is with my code not uploading a file to the temporary folder to my selected folder. Here is the PHP for testing the upload:

// $upload is the name of the formfield

$folder = "/upload"; //(htdocs/upload)
$filename = "";
$filename = basename($upload_name);

if(!copy($userfile, "$folder/$filename")) {
echo "Error: $filename cannot be copied.";
}

This is what I receive:

Warning: Unable to open '' for reading: Permission denied in d:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\insertbug.php on line 18

Is it not reading the contents of $filename?

Sorry, update to my issue:

Warning: Unable to create '/home/apache/htdocs/uploads/them.jpg': No such file or directory in d:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\insertbug.php on line 18

The name of the folder exists, so why isn't it copying it to there?

does the web user have read/write on that directory, er why are you mixing unix paths and windows/dos paths? I really doubt /home/apache..... exists on your windows machine.

OMG, you're right about the filepath. That's what I get for following this PHP book to the T. That has been corrected, thank you.
