Re: moving uploaded files

Hi, PHP has its own filesystem functions which you can use. If you want to move a file from one location to another you could use something like this <? copy($old_file,$new_file); unlink($old_file); ?> The $old_file and the $new_file variables should contain the absolute path e.g. /home/user/filename.txt Check http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php for a more detailed explanation of the filesystem functions.

I use dbwired.com for hosting (great service). They do not, however, for obviously reasons allow the system() command from a php script. So, when I switched to this server I had to switch from a system("mv file1 file2"); command to a move_uploaded_file("path1","path2"); command which is fine...for uploading. But, once a file is uploaded I can't figure out a way to move or delete it as it is no longer considered an "uploaded file" and hence move_uploaded_file() fails. Does anyone know a way around this?
