premiso Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 The uploads directory is not at the location you think it is at. I find it better to use absolute paths over relative. So instead of ../ do something like: $upload_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/path/to/uploads/'; This way you know where the file is going. If you do not want to do that, then the uploads directory should be in this structure: ----ROOT |_____script_folder | |_______uploadscript.php |_____uploads_folder | So the uploads_folder is not at the structure like that. So you need to modify the code or create the folder in the structure setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
