Problem saving into folder name declared as variable.vdxdf

[sluke101]

Hiya I'm having trouble modifying getting the below code to work. It's basicaly the php code to a flash picture upload tutorial.

 

The problem is with the $uploadDirectory variable. If I change the $fVar1 to the name of a folder in my localhost the file will be saved correctly, however if it stays as $fVar1 the file doesn't save? Any idea what might be wrong?

 

  ^{1. <?php}

  ^2. 

  ^{3.    $fVar1 = $_POST['id'];}

  ^{4.    $fVar2 = $_POST['filename'];}

  ^{5.    $fVar3 = "test";}

  ^6. 

  ^{7.    mkdir("$fVar1");}

  ^8. 

  ^{9.  if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'])){}

  ^10. 

  ^{11.    $uploadDirectory="$fVar1/";}

  ^{12.    $uploadFile=$uploadDirectory.basename($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);}

  ^13. 

  ^{14.    copy($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile);}

  ^15.         

  ^{16.  }}

  ^{17. ?>}

 

 

Cheers in advance
