The way my web hosting server was configured is that files uploaded through a web form to be processed by PHP are owned by 'www'. I am wondering if I am able to change the owner of the file to my ftp user name before I use the move_uploaded_file command to the directory I need the file to move to. I am also wondering what the IF syntax is to see if the file upload was successful. Somehow I would like to know if move_uploaded_file( $userfile , $destination_file_name); worked successfully before I update my table. Ron
