Upload problems

Re: Upload problems

could be a lot of things,

mostly when such a thing happen in my case it's a permission problem, make
sure that the directory where you upload the files can be written to by PHP.

another less common case would be that your host disabled the use of the
functions used to take an uploaded file and copy it somewhere else.

Hope this helps.

>I intend to upload documents (file_up), categorize them in 4 main
categories (k_cat), have additional sub-categories (lec_cat) just for
querying and getting sub-categorized output of the files when listed
with date (dato_inn) and the submitters details "uploaded_b y".
