rename a picture

[masgas]

Hi... I ma trying to rename a pic that I upload into a directory and I get this error message:

[b]Warning: rename(,.jpg) [function.rename]: Permission denied in C:\xampp\htdocs\PISOS\final\gifup2.php on line 22[/b]

the script I use is:

$link = mysql_connect("", "", "");
mysql_select_db("pisos", $link);
$sql = "SELECT id, user, email FROM articulos WHERE user = '$user' AND email = '$email'";
$id = $row["id"];
$user = $row["user"];
$email = $row["email"];

if(isset( $Submit ))

{ $ext=".jpg";
if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/pjpeg"){
@move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'], "C:/xampp/htdocs/PISOS/final/".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'])
or die ("Could not copy");
rename($name, $row["id"].$ext);
echo "";
echo "Name: ".$_FILES['imagefile']['name']."";
echo "Size: ".$_FILES['imagefile']['size']."";
echo "Type: ".$_FILES['imagefile']['type']."";
echo "Copy Done....";

}

I get the variables with mysql db and through the URL with:

<a href='/scripts/final/picup2.php?user=$_REQUEST[user]&email=$_REQUEST[email]'>want to add a pic?</a>

First, where are you doing the actual sql execute?

The error looks to be permission related. Make sure the webserver has permissions to write to the location you are attempting to move,copy or rename.

Ok I solved the problem with:

chmod("/PISOS/final/".$id.".gif", 0755);

this works in local and with my paid server...
the question now is: does it have any inconvenients to chmod a file, or is it normal to do so...?
thanks!!!
