Ok, its been a while since I last wrote upload code and I am having a
problem. Here is what I have done:

1 - Two <input>s. One is type="file" and the other is type="submit".
The
file one gives a browse button that works and produces the correct name
of
the file I click --- C:\thisdir\thisfile.pdf

2 - I click on the submit button (called pdfSource). In my code I have
a
block with if isset($_POST['pdfSource']) amd it enters that block.

Here is where the fun begins.

In the previous code I had written, I simply had a
copy($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], "destination_on_server");

and it had worked.

Now, $_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'] and
$_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'] is
empty so it fails.

I then did:
$_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'] = $_POST['pdfSource'];

That didn't work because $_POST['pdfSource'] was
C:\\thisdir\\thisfile.pdf
so I did a little strtok and turned it into
C:\thisdir\thisfile.pdf
but that didn't work either so I changed it to
C:/thisdir/thisfile.pdf
and that didn't work.

Can anyone help?
