Hi,

The problem is in defining the uploading directory (REPOSITORY). Try changing by adding document_root path to the REPOSITORY url.

define("REPOSITORY", $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);

Now the files will upload to the document root path. By concatenating the document root path with your specified directory, the images will upload to that directory (/parctice/test/htdocs).

define("REPOSITORY", $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/parctice/test/htdocs');

I 'm always suspicious about filenames with spaces

$fileName=str_replace(" ","_",$fileName);

paulrajj: I'll check if it would work. I'll let you know.
pzuurveen: What?

from your err msg
file name= /www/parctice/test/htdocs/Misa Campo073.jpg linux will read this as call to /www/parctice/test/htdocs/Misa passing a parameter Campo073.jpg

I tried inserting the $_SERVER; but still i'm getting the same error like before. Any other more suggestions on this problem? Please help.

Did you spell practice wrongly? Or does the folder parctice exist?

Oh wow! My bad! A simple typo error. That made it work. Thanks. I'll get back if there are other errors. :D

No problem. Cheers :)
