PHP - Help With Move_uploaded_file

 move_uploaded_file($_POST['file']['tmp_name'], "upload/"); doesn't work and if i echo the tmp name it comes up with the first letter of the uploaded file.

please help!

I have been trying to upload videos using the move_uploaded_file function but have come up with a new error which is displayed below.

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/~unn_s003539/public_html/Sold/uploadsPC45 close up .jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/numyspace.co.uk/web_users/home/~unn_s003539/public_html/Sold/vidupload.php on line 25

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpUWYU51' to '/home/~unn_s003539/public_html/Sold/uploadsPC45 close up .jpg' in /var/www/vhosts/numyspace.co.uk/web_users/home/~unn_s003539/public_html/Sold/vidupload.php on line 25
Error when uploading the video./var/www/vhosts/numyspace.co.uk/httpdocs

I don't understand why this error is occuring as the file target I'm using is exactly the same as the one in the ftp file which I have just copied across. My code looks like this:

session_start();
   
      include("connection.php");
      $target = "/home/~unn_s003539/public_html/Sold/uploads";

$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['video']['name']);

 $name=$_POST['name'];
 $email=$_POST['email'];
 $title=$_POST['title'];
 $description = $_POST['description'];
 $pic=($_FILES['video']['name']);
 
 
 $sql="INSERT INTO `videos` (name, date, email, title, description, video)
 VALUES ('$name','CURDATE()', '$email', '$title', '$description','$pic')" ;
 
 $result=mysql_query($sql);



if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['video']['tmp_name'], $target)) {

echo "Successful upload of ". basename( $_FILES['video']['name']);

} else{

echo "Error when uploading the video.";

}.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

There was an error uploading the file, please try again!


I have no idea why, below is my code:

thanks in advance...

            if(file_exists($file_src)){
               unlink($file_src);
               }
                     
            if(!empty($_FILES['userfile']['name'])){
               //file variables            
               $file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
               $temp_name = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
               $file_type = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];
               
               //get extension of the file
               $base = basename($file_name);
               $extension = substr($base, strlen($base)-4, strlen($base));
                  
               //only these file types will be allowed
               $allowed_extensions = array(".txt", "docx", ".doc");
                  
               //check that this file type is allowed               
                  if(!in_array($extension,$allowed_extensions)){
                        header('Location:modify.php?action=errorupload&id='.$row['index']);
                     }
                  else{
                        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "../files/" . $_FILES['userfile']['name']);
                        $sql2 = "UPDATE t_board SET `writer` = '".$this->writer."', `subject` = '".$this->subject."',
                              `message` = '".$this->message."', `filename` = '".$this->files['name']."' WHERE `index` = '".$this->id."'";                              
                        $query2 = mysql_query($sql2);
                        
                        $sql3 = "SELECT * FROM t_board WHERE `index` = '".$this->id."'";
                        $query3 = mysql_query($sql3);

                     }//in_array

For the life of me, I cannot get an uploaded file to move from the tmp folder to the uploads folder. I have made sure all permissions were set to allow for the transfer. $upfile points to the right folder and file.

print_r($_FILES); yields the following:

Array ( [userfile] => Array ( [name] => 02.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpClFyXP [error] => 0 [size] => 121200 ) )

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
