You need to CHMOD the upload directory to 777.

I am not quite following. Is this in the website hosting or in the coding. So I take it
chmod($fileName,777); is wrong it should be chmod(777);? Or do I have to change the upload directory to CHMOD to 777?

Go into whatever FTP client you use and chmod the folder where your uploads are going to: 777

If you cannot chmod files/directories with PHP because of safe_mode restrictions, but you can use FTP to chmod them, simply use PHP's FTP-functions (eg. ftp_chmod or ftp_site) instead. Not as efficient, but works.[/quote]
