Check whether you have permissions in that folder (C:/inetpub/wwwroot/PHP_Ramp/upload/) to write file. You can check the folder by right clicking and selecting properties -> Security

I have the following form:

<html>
<body>

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> 
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

And the following script:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

if (($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";


    $moved = move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/PHP_Ramp/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

    if ($moved) {
        echo "Move: Success";
    }
    else {
        echo "Move Failed";
    }


      echo "Stored in: " . "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/PHP_Ramp/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      }
    }

else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
?>

For some reason I keep getting "Move Failed". Any idea why the file isn't moving?

I appended the following to the beginning of my code: mkdir("C:/inetpub/wwwroot/PHP_Ramp/upload/", 0766); and I'm still getting "move failed".

He means to make sure that the folder itself is writable by the PHP script. Adding 0766 is just modifying the moved file's permission once it's written.

The mode argument is ignored in Windows per us.php.net/manual/en/function.mkdir.php - I think @Shyju means NTFS permissions since @Mik said he's using IIS7.

Cool, I got it! Just had to give write permission to IIS through right-click>properties>security.
