Question

This is a basic image upload script, that when a user uploads a file it should move it to his folder that is created when he registers, then it inserts the location of the photo into a database. It will run on an apache mysql set up I have on my computer but then I uploaded it to my host and it does not seem to work?

class Photo extends Session {
function profile_photo($img) {
    $this->start_session();
    $uid = $_SESSION['userid'];

    $tmpname = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
    $randname = rand(1, 1000000);
    $type = preg_match('/.tmp/', $tmpname);


        move_uploaded_file($tmpname, "user/$uid/$randname.jpg");
        $sql = "INSERT INTO user_images (image_url, user_id) VALUES ('user/$uid/$randname.jpg', '$uid')";
        $q = mysql_query($sql);
        header("Location: home.php");

}
}

File Permessions are 777

It is inserting into the database just the move_uploaded_file function does not seam to be moving the uploaded file?

Check if the folder where you want to store the file is writeable on your local pc.
