Melvin,
I beat my head against the wall on a file upload problem, and I finally
figured out the solution. I think your problem is the same one I had, which
is that you have to concatenate the slash in front of the name of the file,
like this:
if(!copy($userfile, "/".$userfile_name")){
where you have:
if(!copy($userfile,"./$userfile_name")){

The books I looked this up in seemed to assume that since you know about
concatenation, you would automatically know to do this here.
HTH,
Nan
