Google is wonderful by the way :)
[quote]Move :  This function checks to ensure that the file designated by filename is a valid upload file (meaning that it was uploaded via PHP's HTTP POST upload mechanism). If the file is valid, it will be moved to the filename given by destination.

If filename is not a valid upload file, then no action will occur, and move_uploaded_file() will return FALSE.

Copy :Makes a copy of a file. Returns TRUE if the copy succeeded, FALSE otherwise. [/quote]

From experience you should always use move_uploaded_file when dealing with uploads.

The PHP manual is even better than Google, as it is the source of all the PHP language reference information you are likely to find on the Internet - http://www.php.net/docs.php
