You need to give the user permission to write in the destination directory, you can do this by using: chmod 666 directoryname "John" <johnx@inetgenesis.com> escribió en el mensaje 001501c2fad5$b1624260$0100a8c0@John">news:001501c2fad5$b1624260$0100a8c0@John... Thanking in advance, Hi all- very new to php, and at the risk of being "spoon fed" here, I beg for your patience in advance. I am trying to have an entry page for user input/ pic upload into MySQL/win2k (www.sammiesmodels.com/entry.php ). I get this error during test of the above page: Warning: Unable to open '' for reading: Permission denied in C:\SammiWWW\entry.php on line 27 Couldn't copy the file! The upload folder, "Temp" sits in the root www dir, and the user has all permissions granted (or do i?) in the DB. Below is the syntax to the "Entry" page: *************************************************** <html> <head> <title>Portfolio Entry </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFEBEB"> <?php if ($submit) { $db=mysql_connect("66.220.69.20","admin","snoddy"); mysql_select_db("sammies models",$db); $sql="INSERT INTO models (first, last, age, email, location, eye, hair, experience, aspirations, mtype, picname1, picname2, picname3, picname4, picname5, picname6, picname7, picname8) VALUES ('$first','$last','$age','$email','$location','$eye','$hair','$experience',' $aspirations','$mtype','$picname1','$picname2','$picname3','$picname4','$pic name5','$picname6','$picname7','$picname8')"; mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); // if $_FILES['img1'] isn't empty, try to copy the file if ($_FILES['picname1'] != "") { // copy the file to a directory or file://die and print an error message // NOTE! if you're on a Windows machine, // use Windows pathnames, like so: // copy($_FILES[picname1][$first], "C:\\sammiwww\\directory\\path\\".$_POST[img1_name]); copy($_FILES['picname1']['$first . temp'], "C:\\sammiwww\\upload\\".$_FILES['picname1']['$first']) or die("Couldn't copy the file!"); } else { // if $_FILES['picname1'] was empty, die and let us know why die("No input file specified"); } ?> echo "First: $first<br>\n"; echo "Last: $last<br>\n"; echo "Age: $age<br>\n"; echo "Email: $email<br>\n"; echo "Location: $location<br>\n"; echo "Eye color: $eye<br>\n"; echo "Hair color: $hair<br>\n"; echo "Experience: $experience<br>\n"; echo "Aspirations: $aspirations<br>\n"; echo "Media Type: $mtype<br>\n"; echo "Photo 1: $picname1<br>\n"; echo "<img src=c:/sammiwww/pic/$picname1><br>\n"; echo "Photo 2: $picname2<br>\n"; echo "<img src=c:/sammiwww/pic/$picname2><br>\n"; echo "Photo 3: $picname3<br>\n"; echo "<img src=c:/sammiwww/pic/$picname3><br>\n"; echo "Photo 4: $picname4<br>\n"; echo "<img src=c:/sammiwww/pic/$picname4><br>\n"; echo "Photo 5: $picname5<br>\n"; echo "<img src=c:/sammiwww/pic/$picname5><br>\n"; echo "Photo 6: $picname6<br>\n"; echo "<img src=c:/sammiwww/pic/$picname6><br>\n"; echo "Photo 7: $picname7<br>\n"; echo "<img src=c:/sammiwww/pic/$picname7><br>\n"; echo "Photo 8: $picname8<br>\n"; echo "<img src=c:/sammiwww/pic/$picname8><br>\n"; echo "<b><center>Thank you for registering, $first </b></center><p>"; ?> <p><center></p> <center> <a href="http://www.sammiesmodels.com"; target="_self">Return to Sammies Models Home</a> <?
