RE: [PHP] Copying file to a network drive (in WinNT4)

Hi, I haven't used PHP on NT, but would expect copy to work. You might first confirm that the values of $dest and $src are as you expect them to be. Also, make sure that you have permission to create/modify the $dest file. Trapping errors never hurts either. $dest = "h:\\".$code.".jpg"; $src = $img; if (!copy($src, $dest)) { print "<BR>ERROR COPYING ($src) to ($dest)<BR>\n"; } I notice that the JPG in your error message is different from the name you said is causing the problem, "punatalo". Also, is line 14 of your PHP script the copy($src, $dest); line? Or some other line?
