Drupal 7 drupal_move_uploaded_file ($filename, $uri)

Question

I try to use the function drupal_move_upload_file ($ filename, $ uri). It works correctly, but when I try to move file in the folder, it doesn't work. Permissions and settings are correct.

Any suggestions/troubleshooting?

Answer 1

are you trying to put the image in the public:// directory which is a URI or in a module or a custom folder ?

if you want to put it in a normal folder, try dirname( __FILE__ ) because it helps to get the absolute url.
