Thanks John,
I had actually looked that one up not to long ago...I just had a nice
'ping-pong' break (helps me think :)) and I might re-write it anyway, but I
will still be using the move_uploaded_file() this time.
Thanks,
Eddie

You should use move_uploaded_file(), which will overwrite the destination
file if it exists. It also has the added security that rename() does not in
that it will ENSURE the file actually came from an HTTP POST operation.
