File Upload Problem

[auxone]

I have read over countless PHP uploading articles, but I still have an issue. I already have the file from my HTML form (named 'uploaded_file'). The following code always exits on the 'Failed!...' error.

$uploadsDirectory = dirname(__FILE__).'/uploaded_images/';
$now = 1; // move file, make sure no duplicates
while(file_exists($uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$now.'-'.$_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']))
{
$now++;
}

// move the file to its final location and allocate the new filename to it
@move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'], $uploadFilename)
or error('Failed! Receiving directory has insuffiecient permissions.');

I have the directory set to 777. Maybe my $uploadsDirectory is pointing to a different place, but I tried every permutation I could. I even tried just plain $uploadDirectory = "uploaded_images/", with the same error.

Anyone have an idea?

when you echo
$uploadsDirectory

does it look like you'd expect?

Problem solved, but thanks for the input. The temp directory in the php.ini file wasn't properly set to my home temp. It was set to the system temp from which I was not allowed to copy files.

Thanks again.
