is the value of you $imgname property "C:/wamp/www/vab/userpics"?

If so, I think you have only put in the directory name without the filename - hence, it won't work!

Here is the code I use: -

// for main server $imagedir =  "/home/thechari/public_html/images/photos/";
$imagedir =  "c:/xampp/htdocs/tcbr/images/photos/";
    
$imagetempname = $_FILES['filename']['name'][$i];

if ($imagetempname != "")
{
    $imagename = $imagedir . $imagetempname;
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], $imagename))

etc...

Let me know if it works!

whoops, made a mistake: -
    
$imagetempname = $_FILES['filename']['name'];
