Oh mighty webdev dieties, I implore thee for guidance! Strange doings are afoot!
Well, I think so anyway...
So I've got this PHP upload script working and can use it to upload files successfully from a Windows/IE client as well as a Mac/Safari/Mozilla setup, but all's not quite happy in Uploadtown. My script says this:


$file_name=str_replace("'","", $file_name);
$copy=copy($_FILES[ 'uploadfile'. $x]['tmp_name'],'/Sites/' & $file_name);

and when I echo $file_name in the page (to verify its value) it shows the correct file name. However, when the file is uploaded, it's got a weird string of seemingly random characters as a name. I don't think it's completely random, though, since a particular file gets the same weird name each time I upload it, and similarly named files have similar, but incorrect, names. I'm relatively new to web development, especially PHP, so I'm stumped. Any ideas, oh great and knowing ones?

what is that & doing there?

try a ".", the concatonation operator.

--will
[php]
$file_name=str_replace("'","", $file_name);
$copy=copy($_FILES[ 'uploadfile'. $x]['tmp_name'],'/Sites/' . $file_name);
[/php]

That was it! I must have been stuck in ASP mode. Thanks for the quick reply
