Help needed - move_uploaded_file

Hi, I'm trying to use move_uploaded_file, but so far with no success, no matter what I try. The file info. is loaded from a form via POST. Here's the snippet that get's called: : case("add_image"): $res = mysql_query("select allowed_imgs,max_image_size,files_umask from ".$table_prefix."flags"); list($allowed_types,$max_image_size,$files_umask) = mysql_fetch_row($res); @umask((int)$files_umask); $image_name = @basename($image); if(@move_uploaded_file($userfile, $image_directory.$image_name)) { //if (chmod($random_image_directory.$image_name, 0644)) { mysql_query ("insert into " . $table_prefix. "randomimage_list (file_name) values ('$image_name');"); } } else : : $image_directory is defined elsewhere: $image_directory = "/randomimage/images/"; On error, the values echo out as, typically: image = C:\\phpdev\\www\\images\\add.gif image_name = add.gif image_directory.image_name = c:\phpdev\www\randomimage\images\add.gif Other 3rd party code I have 'uploads' correctly on the local server, and also remote server. What am I missing or overlooking?
