HOW to upload to two places?

[MOzgaf]

this is what i have so far but it uploads to the first location but not second.

$newname = dirname(__FILE__).'/upload'.$myvar;
      $newcopy = dirname(__FILE__).'/copy'.$today.$myvar;
      //Check if the file with the same name is already exists on the server
      if (!file_exists($newname)) {
        //Attempt to move the uploaded file to it's new place
        if ((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'],$newname))) {
           echo "It's done! The file has been saved as: ".$newname;
        } else {
           echo "Error: A problem occurred during file upload!<br>";
        }
        if ((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'],$newcopy))) {
           echo "It's done! The file has been saved as: ".$newcopy;
        } else {
           echo "Error: A problem occurred during file upload!";
        }
 

where the second location prints the file name with a date.
thanks in advance.

Try this:

<?php
 
    $newname = dirname(__FILE__).'/upload'.$myvar;
    $newcopy = dirname(__FILE__).'/copy'.$today.$myvar;
 
 
    if (!file_exists($newname)) {
        if(!file_exists($newcopy)) {
            if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'],$newname)) 
            {
                echo 'File 1 has been uploaded...<br/>';
 
                    if (move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'],$newcopy))
                    {
                        echo 'File 2 too! Lets party! <br/>';
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        echo 'but file 2 wasn t? <br/>';
                    }
            }
            else
            {
                'File 1 wasn t uploaded so File 2 neither.<br/>';
            }
        }
        else
        {
            echo 'File 2 already exists! <br/>';
        }
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'File 1 already exists! <br/>';
    }
    ?>
 

What does it display?

I think you both miss the concept of "move".

Once you move it once, it is no longer there!

You need to COPY the file if you need another 'copy'.
