Then these are no longer uploaded files -- only the temp file created by the original form submission is truly an uploaded file in the sense that is_uploaded_file() will be true and you can move_uploaded_file() it. Once you have used move_uploaded_file() on it, the new file is just a regular file, not an uploaded one. > It is > just that someone may want to change that location at a later date. > e.g. they upload an image to a folder and two months later > decide it is > better placed in a different folder. Then you just want rename() -- http://www.php.net/rename Cheers!
