    Make sure you have it in the $src, $dest order:

    move_uploaded_file($_FILES["field"]["tmp_name"], 'foo.png');

    Also, check PHP settings, especially safe_mode and base dir restrictions.

    Side note: Don’t chmod your folders to be world writable! Change the group of the folder to be that of the webserver, and use 775. Last thing you need is something like an SQL injection from MySQL writing a PHP file into that folder.
