move_uploaded_file function

ok, im using the move_uploaded_file function to sore the images in a directory on my server when the user uploads the pictures. But, at the same time, i want that picture to be saved in a diffrent directory as well. So here is the original code

file_exists(DIR "files/$img.jpg") ) {
					if (is_uploaded_file($files['Users']['pic']['tmp_name'])) {
						move_uploaded_file($files['User']['pic']['tmp_name'], DIR "files/$img.jpg");

PHP:

and now, i want the same picture thats beeing uploaded to be saved in files/backup so here is what I tried:

file_exists(DIR "files/$img.jpg") ) {
					if (is_uploaded_file($files['Users']['pic']['tmp_name'])) {
						move_uploaded_file($files['User']['pic']['tmp_name'], DIR "files/backup/$img.jpg");
                        move_uploaded_file($files['User']['pic']['tmp_name'], DIR "files/backup/$img.jpg");

PHP:

the files are uploading fine to the "files" directory but not uploading to the "files/backup" directoy. Any help?
Thanks, SP360

 

In is_uploaded_file() and move_uploaded_file(), you're using two different variables. I guess it's a typo. $files['Users'], and $files['User'].

Also, in your second code, you're attempting to move the same file twice to the same location? Use move_uploaded_file() once to move the file to the main folder, and then use copy() to create a backup in a diffent folder.

 

It seems u r uploading both the files in same folder. Plz. chk. the move_uploaded_file() in both statements.

 

I wish I would have thought of that.
