need help moving a file after a form submission

[mwusaw]

I am having trouble moving a file to a permanent directory. The select menu is dynamically generated from the files in a temp directory. Once someone selects that file and adds information through a form, I want that file to be moved to a different directory so it no longer appears in the list of available files.

 

This is the coding I am using, the details are added to the db, but the file isnt moving

 

<select name="video_file" Style="font-size:8pt">

<option></option>

<?

    $path = "/home/themat1/public_html/temp_files/";

 

    $dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");

 

    while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {

 

    if($file == "." || $file == ".." || $file == "index2.php" )

 

        continue;

        echo "<option>$file</option>$file";

    }

?>

 

</select>

 

<input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="addvideo">

<center><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" Style="font-size:8pt"></center>

</form>

<?php   

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ 

rename('/home/themat1/public_html/temp_files/$file', '/home/themat1/public_html/video_files/$file');

}

?>

 

any suggestions?

 

Thanks

i changed the move code to...

 

<?php   

if(!$errorflag) {

rename('/home/themat1/public_html/temp_files/'.$_POST['video_file'].'', '/home/themat1/public_html/video_files/'.$_POST['video_file'].'');

}

?>

 

but now its moving every file from the temp directory and deleting the temp directory.  Anyone have any ideas how to get just the selected file to move?

 

Thanks
