File upload problems.

[PhoenixDown]

I'm still new at this and I can't get it to work. I'm using PHP 4.2:

Warning: Unable to open '' for reading: Permission denied in c:\appserv\

http://www\admin\index.php

on line 907
Couldn't copy the file!

echo &quot;<form enctype=\&quot;multipart/form-data\&quot; name=\&quot;theform\&quot; action=\&quot;index.php\&quot; method=\&quot;post\&quot;>&quot;;
echo &quot;<input type=\&quot;hidden\&quot; name=\&quot;MAX_FILE_SIZE\&quot; value=\&quot;15728640\&quot;>&quot;;
echo &quot;<input type=\&quot;file\&quot; name=\&quot;backup\&quot; size=\&quot;30\&quot; maxlength=\&quot;150\&quot;>&quot;;

copy($_FILES['backup']['tmp_name'], &quot;C:\\AppServ\\www\\admin\\backups&quot;.$_FILES['backup']['name']) or die(&quot;Couldn't copy the file!&quot;

Please help me out. Thanks.

Change
copy($_FILES['backup']['tmp_name'], &quot;C:\\AppServ\\www\\admin\\backups&quot;.$_FILES['backup']['name']) or die(&quot;Couldn't copy the file!&quot;
to
if (!empty($_FILES['backup']['tmp_name']))
copy($_FILES['backup']['tmp_name'], &quot;C:\\AppServ\\www\\admin\\backups&quot;.$_FILES['backup']['name']) or die(&quot;Couldn't copy the file!&quot;
This way it will only copy the file if a file was submitted, and if the tmp_name is set. //Daniel

You can't read the file from the local user's disk &quot;c:\AppServer\...&quot;, it(him) can read this file and press Submit, but can read the file on the server without problems
