php upload problem with http_post_files

Mon Jul 1 11:50:03 BST 2002

Hi all,

does anyone know why this is happening?

I'm trying to upload files through the browser.

I've just tried to use the $http_post_files global variable like this:-

copy ($HTTP_POST_FILES[$photo], "$dir/1") or die("<html><body
bgcolor=#ffffff background=../../../Images/background.gif
text=#000000><center><font face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2>The file
you are trying to upload couldn't be copied to the server as it already
exists<br> click <a href=index.php> here </a> to return to menu and try
again</center></body></html>");

and I'm getting:-

"Warning: Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in" when
I test it in a browser

is there some variable in the php.ini I need to turn on/off because I've
installed the php myself on a unix server

its php.4.2.1 by the way

any ideas?

cheers!!!
