Hi Jason, Thank you for your help. This is the output from PHP script: "upload_files is valid a directoryI am able to write to upload_files Warning: move_uploaded_file(upload_files/Water lilies.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/simple_upload.php on line 58 Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpHuSGRK' to 'upload_files/Water lilies.jpg' in /var/www/html/simple_upload.php on line 58" Well, this shows upload_files is writeable. Therefore, it should not be any error in permission setting issues. yours, Michael On Mon, 22 Nov 2004 13:54:28 +0800, Jason Wong <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Monday 22 November 2004 12:14, Michael Leung wrote: > > > > > I have some problems for upload file script.
