Thank those who e-mailed me back on my last question. I am now writing
a script from a tutorial I found at "HotScripts" ... I am trying to
upload an image from html form to apache. I chmod(ed) the directory
and typed in the right path name but I am confused on why this isnt
working.

HTML FORM
---------
<html>
<head>
    <title>Uploading a File</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="upload_img.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post">
<input type="file" name="myfile"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="upload"><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>

PHP HANDLER
------------
<?

    // name of the directory that your uploads will be kept in
    $dirname = "images";

    // the path that the uploads directory will be placed in
    define(PATH, "/var/www/html/building/images/");
     
    // gets just the file name and extension from the file input
    // in the form
    $filename = $myfile_name;
     
    // check if they actually placed something in the file input
    if ($filename != "")
    {
        // check if the directory exists
        // if it doesnt exist, make the directory
        if (!$dir = @opendir(PATH.$dirname))
            // make the directory (sets chmod to 700)
            mkdir(PATH.$dirname, 0700) or die("<b>Error:</b> could not
make directory.");
             
        // copy the file from the temporary upload position to where
you want it
        copy($myfile, PATH.$dirname."/".$filename) or
die("<b>Error:</b> could not copy file.");
         
        // delete the temporary uploaded file
        unlink($myfile) or die("<b>Error:</b> could not delete
uploaded file.");
         
        // tell them it worked
        echo "File uploaded successfully.";
    }
    else
    {
        // tell them to browse for a file
        echo "You must select a file to upload.";
    }

?>

I am still learning and I cant see why this tutorial doesnt work for
me. I keep getting the error message that says "You must select a file
to upload." I did select a file. Seriously, any help would be welcomed
...
