But also you are copying a blank file. What's stored in $_FILES['inportFiles']['name'] is just the name of the original file, not the path of the uploaded file. The path of the uploaded file is stored in $_FILES['importFiles']['tmpname']. So that should be the first input to the copy function. HTH, Kevin
