Let me explain in a little more detail what I'm trying to do. I have a form that writes to a text database. In that form, I have file upload fields that are used solely to get filenames for a photographic tour. When the names are written to the database, they have to have their paths chopped off. Those upload fields don't upload images because I couldn't get an upload script working that would upload that many images at once... The filenames are written to a text file (after having their paths chopped off) that tells what files need to be uploaded. Any path works so long as it has some folder in the path. Eg: A:\pic3.jpg would not work, whereas A:\test\pic3.jpg would.
