Trying to copy a file in PHP and get this error in ini_set…

Notice: Undefined index: upload in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/lostpet3/postaction.php on line 36

Here’s my dump…..any ideas why if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES[‘uploadedfile’][‘tmp_name’], $target))

won’t work? My code is below…

POST:Array
(
[date1] => 04/21/2011
[optType] => Dog
[optStatus] => Lost
[txtName] => sdtsd
[txtDescription] => edfds
[txtContact] => dsfsd
[txtArea] => dsfdsfsd
)
FILES:Array
(
[Upload] => Array
(
[name] => IMG_6539.jpg
[type] => image/jpeg
[tmp_name] => /Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/phpkJ4Q00
[error] => 0
[size] => 4831277
)

)

Notice: Undefined index: upload in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/lostpet3/postaction.php on line 36

Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.

=================================
$target = “gallery/”;
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES[“uploadedfile”][“name”]);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES[‘uploadedfile’][‘tmp_name’], $target))
{
echo “The file “. basename( $_FILES[‘uploadedfile’][‘name’]). ” has been uploaded”;
}
else {
echo “<BR>Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.<BR>” . basename($_FILES[‘uploadedfile’][‘name’]);
}

exit();

@NogDogApr 21.2011 — First guess would be that you did not set the proper enctype value in your <form> tag. Second guess would be a typo somewhere such that the file-type field's name in the form is not matching the name you are using as the first index in the $_FILES array.

@eforceauthorApr 21.2011 — enctype is good. 1st thing I checked. I used Upload as the name of my File Type. Is the name in basename( $_FILES["uploadedfile"]["name"]) not a constant? No Typo anyway.

@NogDogApr 21.2011 — If you used "Upload" as the name of the field, e.g. [b]<input type='file' name='Upload' />[/b], then your $_FILES reference would be [b]$_FILES['Upload']['name'][/b]. Note that it will be case-sensitive, too (I think?).
