Ahhhh... I have just gone from insane, feverish panic, to a delightful
state of calm.
I solved my file upload problem, and it was (as is so often the case)
all my fault.
I was missing one '.' someone where in my code, so when the script
checked for the existance of a file, it couldn't find it.
For example:
file_exists('/original/'.$new_file_name)
doesn't work, but:
file_exists('./original/'.$new_file_name)
does.
Do to the odd nature of my script, there wasn't one clear pathway for
all the images that failed, so tracking down the problem was a bit tricky.
Anyway, with the prompting of Tony Crockford I checked out my script
again and happened to stumble across the typo.
So, distaster over, sorry for the panic, and remember that '.' next time
you're referencing files :o)
Thanks very much - dunstan
