handling file uploads w/ php

Hey,

I'm trying to upload files through a web browser using PHP, but I'm running into a little trouble.

Here's the form:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="test.php?action=copy" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="copy">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="Send File">
</form>

Here's the code to copy the file once it's uploaded:

$dir = "/web/cemmel/public_html/DEV/images/";
copy ($userfile, $dir);

Here's the output:

Warning: Unable to create '/web/cemmel/public_html/DEV/images/': Is a directory in /web/cemmel/public_html/DEV/test.php on line 35

Any ideas?

Could you post the source to test.php? That's where the error is apparently.

sure...

Here's the whole source to test.php:

<html>
<head>
<title>TEST</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php

if ($action == "upload") {

?>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="test.php?action=copy" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="copy">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="Send File">
</form>

<?php

}

if ($action == "copy") {

print "userfile: $userfile<br>";
print "userfile_name: $userfile_name<br>";
print "userfile_type: $userfile_type<br>";
print "userfile_size: $userfile_size<br>";
print "tmp_name: $tmp_name<br>";

$dir = "/web/cemmel/public_html/DEV/images/";
copy ($userfile, $dir);

?>

<br>
<a href="?action=upload">Another...</a>

<?php

}

?>

</body>
</html>
