PHP: How to move uploaded file to shared directory?

[ffpc]

can someone help me how can i set the path on my php script to move the uploaded files to my shared image directory. the location of my shared directory is this "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures"

Maybe move_uploaded_file() is something that you'd be interested in?

See here for the php.net reference on it.

Depends, but if you are moving an existing file, alpenwasser is right.

 

If you haven't written the file to disk at all however, there are other methods you can use

 

EDIT: If you simple want to move a file use "rename" or "copy" and "unlink" the old file

Whats wrong with it?

"c:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/My Pictures/" should work if thats the path.

thx my problem was if i used the "\" instead the rest of the code will become comment so if i used "/" it will work just fine. thx

In this case just double the backslash "\\" this should work just as well or use single quote instead of double quotes 'my code'
