Here is code that I written.......

Code:

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$imgname))
        {
            $type=checkFile($imgname); //to check file type
            if($type==".gif" ||$type==".jpg" || $type==".png"){
                $user=new UserInfo();
                $user->setEmail($_SESSION['email']);

                $done=$photo->changePhoto($imgname, $user, $type, $dir); // to create & save url in database.

                    if($done){
                        $_SESSION['msg']="Profile Picture Changed....";
                        redirect_to("../../pages/freeHome.php");
                    }
                    else{
                            $_SESSION['msg']="An error Occured while uploading.<br> Please try later....";
                            redirect_to("../../pages/freeHome.php");
                        }
                }
                else

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'];
