Hey sean,
here is what i did to get my file upload to work...
first i check to see if all the parameters are correct...like file
size and type.
and then to actually copy the file to the destination directory i use
the following piece of code...
[PHP.
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],"{directoryName}/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['name']);
$name = $HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['name'];
print "File name is: " . $name;
unlink($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);
print "<br>File has been successfully uploaded!";
[PHP]
Hope that helps..
Karthik
