Hi All

The file-system path consists of your home directory followed by public_html then whatever the path is to whatever you're after.

eg. /home[n]/bhuser/public_html/[etc..]/images/

Your home directory is listed under cpanel.

This path is almost never used, since you can use relative paths for better portability (like ./images/).

Thanks now i found it, but please try to explain better the second part, when you're talking about relative paths

thanks

if you don't specify, images are sometimes uploaded to /home/username/tmp/ or temp folder defined in php.ini.

This is safer, as users might not be able to upload runnable scripts to a web directory.

verifying that the image is in fact an image is a good idea as well?

this one doesn't verify, but the code is more bite-size for quick reading:

there is no discussion of chmod ? while some web applications use 777 chmod directories for uploaded images, you might find 755 works. or even more, read the comment below this forum post:
