Hi,
Yes, I already understood the part of it initially being put into a temp
directory, what I don't understand is that every tutorial I see has the
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path) inside
an if statement. "if
(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']$target_path) )"
rather than as a command or call to a function. Therefore it seems to me it
is just check if the file was moved, and if so, you do something within the
if statement. So, do you need to state:
"move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']$target_path);",
then do the if statement: "if
(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']$target_path) )"?
