In a PHP file upload script which looks like:

}


You should take a look at is_uploaded_file() and move_uploaded_file().

I am getting the error message:

<br />
<b>Warning</b>: copy(aplace/ahtml.html) [<a href='function.copy'>function.copy</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in <b>/home/directory/anotherdirectory/makecopy2.php</b> on line <b>6</b><br />

This was working perfectly before so I am at a loss as to why it is now failing. Does anybody have any idea what could be happening and what the Permission denied refers to and means ? Thanks !


It means that the web server has been denied permission by the OS. Check that the directory perms are properly set. You might also want to use a full directory path (ie. from the root of the server) for the location the file should be saved to.
