When i escape it like this: "G:\WEB Servers\UwAmp\www\\3_KachiVersiaPurva\uploads\\" it's working like a charm. Why i should escape digit (3 in my case). It isn't backslash or so Actual result: -------------- Warning: move_uploaded_file(G:\WEB Servers\UwAmp\www_KachiVersiaPurva\uploads\05.11.2016.peak_temperature.gif): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in G:\WEB Servers\UwAmp\www\3_KachiVersiaPurva\image.php on line 32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74641&edit=1
