Try: $upload = "/path/to/copy/"; $upload_path = "$upload/$file_filename"; if (is_uploaded_file($file)) { Exec("cp $filename $upload_path"); }
Then you have the file at /path/to/copy/<filename>, and you can do whatever you want with it. (I'm assuming the file field of the form is called "file", and that /path/to/copy/ has permissions set so that PHP can write to it, 777 will work for sure, but I'm not 100% positive which one would be best due to security and stuff.).
