File Upload ---Thanks!

Thanks folks - persistence pays off and so does group discussions . I had chmodded the uploads directory to 777 but it was within the public_html directory with different file permissions so I guess public_html permissions were taking presidence. After reading all of your suggestions... a little light turned on and I moved the uploads directory outside of the public-html directory and Volia! Uploading file... File uploaded successfully Preview of uploaded file contents: THIS IS A TEST......... Thanks Again. Anyone using a Macintosh with MySql? That is my next goal.

I know this is not technically a DB question but thought someone may

be

able to help with this. I have tried everything I could think of to

make

this script work but I keep getting the error message below. I've even changed the permissions on the files and the folders affected to

allow

full read,write execute priviledges to all users ...but still no luck. I'm not sure if it is a server (apache on linux) permission issue or

if

it is a typo in the script or a file path issue. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. I've also included the script below in the event the mistake is in the script Thanks in Advance ERROR MESSAGE Uploading file...
