Thank you for the response. It's still not working. I checked the
path and I checked the file permissions and everything looks right.
I get the following from print_r: Array ( [upfile] => Array ( [name] =>
Jets.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpu6J23o [error] => 0
[size] => 27241 ) )
I think those results look to be normal, but I'm not 100% sure. Does
anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
