WTF?

[Dave Mennenoh]

Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong here?

These three lines are my upload script. As it's shown here it works - except
that I'm not using the $folder variable, which I need. I just have the
folder hardcoded within the line that assigns $moveTo.

$folder = $_POST['folder'];
$moveTo = "portfolio/bay_website/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
move_uploaded_f ile($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $moveTo);

If I now break out "portfolio/bay_website/" to a variable, and use that it
stops working:

$folder = $_POST['folder'];
$d = "portfolio/bay_website/";
$moveTo = $d.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
move_uploaded_f ile($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $moveTo);

How is this different from the first one? I cannot figure this out, and it's
why using my $folder variable is not working... Ultimately I simply want
this:

$folder = $_POST['folder'];
move_uploaded_f ile($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'],
$folder.$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

Dave,

Well, to start with, I don't see where you're using $folder anywhere
once you've gotten it from $_POST['folder']. Maybe you want instead

$moveTo = $folder.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'];

If this doesn't work, what do you get? And what's in $folder?

If you note my third code snippet, you'll see I use $folder there - it's
what I ultimately do want. You can forget $folder in the first two examples
really...
And $folder would contain something like I have hardcoded:
'portfolio/bay_website/'

OK, I was referring to the first two.

Again - EXACTLY what is in $folder? i.e.

echo :folder = " . $folder . "<br>\n";

That should be:

echo "folder = " . $folder . "<br>\n";
