Fellow monks,
I'm back again to ask for your wisdom.
I posted a question, here, about a file upload script. That question was refering to syntax errors, these errors were solved thanks to Jeurd and a few others. Although the syntax is okay, it seems the script isn't.
When I tried to upload some images files(JPEG) all I got were a few text files with the local path to the image in it(i.e. the path to the image on the comp of the person who tried to upload it). Although the slashes were gone the C:windowsmydocuments....... etc etc was still there. I quite stumped at the moment.
I seached around and didn't find any similar probs and I've had a good hard look at the script but I can't see anything wrong(although this is my firist upload script.)
If you find anything wrong please leave a reply. All help is greatly aprieciated.
Thanks in advance.
I'm going back to try find the problem again.

If everything seems to be going well, you obviously don't know what the hell is going on.

             mkdir( "./albums/$album", 0775 );
             $upload_dir = "./albums/$album";
            }
