Adam Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 the file path is outside the directory the file is in so I am using The directory the uploaded file is in, or the directory the script is running in? The destination directory must be relative to the directory you're running the script from, not where the file is saved.

Cal Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm not sure on this, but I don't think you can use a trailing slash in move_uploaded_file.
