(PHP 4 >= 4.0.3)
move_uploaded_file -- Moves an uploaded file to a new location.
Description
bool move_uploaded_file (string filename, string
destination)
This function checks to ensure that the file designated by filename is a
valid upload file (meaning that it was uploaded via PHP's HTTP POST upload mechanism). If the file
is valid, it will be moved to the filename given by destination.
If filename is not a valid upload file, then no action will occur, and
move_uploaded_file() will return FALSE.
If filename is a valid upload file, but cannot be moved for some reason,
no action will occur, and move_uploaded_file() will return FALSE.
Additionally, a warning will be issued.
This sort of check is especially important if there is any chance that anything done with
uploaded files could reveal their contents to the user, or even to other users on the same
system.
Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether
the file(s)/directories you are about to operate on have the same UID as the script that is being
executed.

If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.

example.
