Non-passing of variable

[sharpmac]

Greetings, I have a flash upload script that I have been customizing for a few days, I almost have everything compleated and working great but I am having a heck of a time with

 

line 59

http://pastie.org/511878

 

Regardless of what I do I can not get it to upload the files into the variable name, if I hardcode the variable $directory = "files/" it works just fine, but if you have read the remainder of the script you will see that I am creating gallery data with XML and php. I have the code make a new directory based off the event name, then make a xml file with the image name and descriptions, and all I want it to do is upload the images into the newly created directory that is known as $dir

 

 

and its killing me

Because variables in single quotes are not parsed like double quotes.

 

// Will not work:
echo '$var';

// Work work:
echo "$var";
echo $var;

Thanks for the reply, but still no luck.

 

The combinations I have done with no success are as follows.

 

$directory = $dir/;

$directory = '$dir/';

$directory = "$dir/";

 

All with no luck

 

the trippy part is it does echo just fine, the variable is there, but for some reason it does not register as properly when called through the uploader.

 

The only other time $directory is called into use is as follows.

 

if ($allowed) {	
	if ($maxFileSize == 0 || $maxFileSize >=  $_FILES['Filedata']['size']) {	
		move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $directory.basename($_FILES['Filedata']['name']));
		echo " ";		
	}

}

No other suggestions? I will be willing to post example files as needed.
