Try using move_uploaded_file() as well...

The copy() function allows you to specify a destination filename so there is
no need for the extra step of renaming the file.

Take out the @ sign so you can see what the PHP error message is.

Re: [PHP] Uploading file problem
Well, I have a statement that says:
if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]($photo, $long_path . "speakers/" . $photo_name)) {
echo an error
}else{
proceed with renaming the file
}
The error that is echoed after the copy is the one that pops up. So, it
could be some other problem, but I'm not sure what to look for.

Re: [PHP] Uploading file problem
What do you mean by "fails at the copy"? Have you verified that the filename and path you're copying to is valid? Otherwise, if the filename that is failing is consistently the same, and if it's attempting to overwrite an existing file, it could be a permissions problem. Just a couple of guesses... mh.

RE: [PHP] Uploading file problem
The files go to different directories, but I checked the permissions on all of the directories, and they are all '777'. I am able to upload files, so I think the directory is ok. The server is unix. I am going to ask my boss to send me the files he is trying to upload to see if the files are the problem. If they are, what sort of problems would I look for?
