Topic awaiting preservation: help with uploading files (Page 1 of 1)

hi there, i am trying to upload files to my server, with the following

require_once("fn_sheet.php");

session_start();



$pic_file = $_FILES['pic']['name'];

$img_name = $_POST['img_name'];

$alt_name = $_POST['alt_name'];

$location = $_POST['location'];



$new_file = "images/".$location."/".$img_name.".jpg";



if(!empty($pic_file) && !empty($img_name)) { 

  if(copy($pic_file, $new_file)) {

  echo "copy was successful";

  }

else {

  echo "Copy failed";

}

}

else {

  echo "missing data";

}

now when i uploaded it i got an error stating that copy(blablabla) failed to open stream .....

i have tried everything but nothing works, i have read everything on php.net regarding uploads. i ran

print("<pre>");

print_r($_FILES);

print("</pre>");

and got the array details, however in the error section it said: error => 2

i looked for this on php.net and couldn't find anything i could use.

anyone have any suggestions??? i been up for 3 hours on this!

quote:

---

UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE
Value: 2; The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form.

---

also you'l need to copy from $_FILES['pic']['tmp_name'] instead of $_FILES['pic']['name'].

And you should use php->is_uploaded_file() to check if $pic_file really is an uploaded file.

so long,
