HTTP_UPLOAD out of the box

does http_upload work out of the box??? i am having trouble uploading an image with the example script... ipear is correctly installed i am using other pear modules with no probs.... i copied the upload.php file into my pear directory where all my other pear modules are... the issue is am having is when uploading a small .jpg the error message is always returned as: Upload error: Impossible to move the file. i have permissions set to read and wrte on the desitnation folder and have set the variable to: $dest_dir = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/bstreet/_img/_busImages/"; i is there anything else that i need to do... i believe the problem may stem from the DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR on line 743.. if i print the variable $name_dest on line 743.. it returns the following.... c:/inetpub/wwwroot/bstreet/_img/_busImages/\2547342074022cd395.jpg it is the conflicting slahes i am worried about... i am running php 5 on iis 5 please help this is killing me :) cheers leevi
