You've copied the uploaded file to another directory ...
rename(($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']),
$category);
... but now you're renaming the [temporary] uploaded file? Shouldn't you be
renaming the above copied file?
In fact you should be able to do it in a single step by copying the uploaded
file to its new destination and new filename.
