File Upload Error

[chunk1978]

hi there...

i have the following codes (HTML and PHP) on my Apache Localhost:

HTML: titled "Form.html"

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

PHP: titled "uploader.p hp"

<?php
$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>

i've also created a folder called "uploads" in the same directory as the .html and .php files.

the problem i'm having is that i always get the message:

"There was an error uploading the file, please try again!"

i don't know what i'm doing wrong... this is the most basic php upload script... does Apache not allow files to be written to the localhost folders? or maybe the php script is wrong?

anyone?

You probably have permissions set up wrong in your file system, therefor move_uploaded_f ile() is failing.

hi motoma, thanks for replying... i've read something about changing file permissions to 777, but i have zero idea how i could do this with Apache on my localhost... i don't use FTP to transfer files, while i read that permissions can be changed via FTP.
