Re: [PHP] File uploads and handling
[embarrassment] Thanks all. Of course it was a dumb thing I was doing. I didn't give the absolute path when "moving" the uploaded file. I got it to work though!

[PHP] File uploads and handling
Hi all. I have a form to upload a file from a user's computer to the server. I want to then modify the file, and then let the user save it back. However, I am having troubles opening the file. It says it doesn't exist. Any suggestions? --- if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['name'])) $handle = fopen($_FILES['userfile']['name'], "r"); else echo $filename . " was not uploaded properly"; --- I know the actual filename shows up... but somehow it's not uploading.
