How do I make move_uploaded_files work in PHP?

Question

What I have right now for file upload is:

move_uploaded_file($filetemp, "files/$filename");

With filetemp referring to $_FILES['fileupload']['tmp_name'], filename referring to $_FILES['fileupload']['name'], and files referring to a folder of that name inside the folder where the PHP file is.

However, this does not move the file to the files folder. How do I make it so that the function moves the file there?

Thanks!

There could be any number of reasons why this might not be working.

The first thing to check is permissions - make sure the webserver has write permissions to the directory you're trying to write to.
Also, turn your error reporting up - see what warnings are being generated on failure (assuming that you're return value is indeed false).
