Question

running on localhost win7 xampp, this code comes up with error

$source = $_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name'];
$upload_dir = "invform/upload/";
 if (file_exists($upload_dir) && is_writable($upload_dir)) {
       move_uploaded_file( $source, $upload_dir ) or die ("Couldn't copy");
  }
  else {
        die ('Upload directory is not writable, or does not exist.');
  }

the error is Couldn't copy means that the directory is writable

$source is : D:\\xampp\\tmp\\phpFB1.tmp

what would be the problem?

Answer 1

The destination of move_uploaded_file should be a filename:

$source = $_FILES['fpupload']['tmp_name'];
$upload_dir = "invform/upload/";
$dest = $upload_dir.$source; // gives: invform/upload/phpFB1.tmp

Check move_uploaded_file on the manual.
