It seems that these only work in directory trees starting in the directory in which the script itself resides. So if the script is in, say, /usr/home/user/website/cgi-bin then none of these will work except on (executable) files and directories in this directory or its sub-directories. So an attempt to move_uploaded_file() to /usr/home/user/website/pages/images/ will fail but will succeed if aimed at /usr/home/user/website/cgi-bin/images
Symbolic links provide a workaround in cases like the one I've been looking at, where I want to provide a form in a website control panel to upload images for display in the site.
I'm posting this so it's available to others, because I haven't found any mention of this (or any other) solution when googling.
