When using this function to move new uploads, it apparently can fail if you name the destination file with a filename (this excludes any path to the file) other than the actual name of the upload. So: <?move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], '../somedir/'.$_FILES['userfile']['name']);?> Will work without a hitch, while <?move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], '../somedir/someoddfilename.txt');?> will return true, yet not move the file to the new filename. I am unsure wether this is solely a windows 'error', or is a generic php flaw. It doesn't appear to act this way with all file-types, and even individual files may be excepted. ---- Server IP: 89.248.170.61 Probable Submitter: 62.194.189.172 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85918 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85918/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85918/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85918/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85918/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85918/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85918/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85918 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85918 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
