Yes, I guess my monkeys were typing my code indeed.
They did resolve to the same place, BUT, Schraalhans was right.
$_POST['ParentName'] should have been $_POST['fileName'].
I got the two switched on the previous page. :O I feel sheepish.
I went through all the stuff at php.net and couldn't figure it out.
BTW I changed them both to absolute paths.
Thanks for your help.
