You don't have permission to access "#*$!xx" on this server.

Hi,
i'm using the move_uploaded_file and when i try to acces the file, i get this:

You don't have permission to access /images/cat.jpg on this server.

What is this? why?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], bnpla!

If you are specifying /images/cat.jpg, then you are actually telling the server to place the image in a folder at the root of the hard drive called "images." Instead you probably want to put the image in the /images/ directory inside of your web sites directory.

Try something like:

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/images/'.$name_of_new_image.'.jpg';

You can read more on $_SERVER variables [php.net] in the manual. :)

It might me a chmod thing. Try chmod'ding it first

chmod("/somedir/somefile", 755);
