Php – WAMP: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

PHPwamp

I'm trying to upload a file using PHP. My HTML page with the form is stored at 

C:\wamp\www\myproject\upload.html

PHP page is

 C:\wamp\www\myproject\upload.php,

and the file I'm trying to upload is 

C:\wamp\www\myproject\openoffice.txt.

When I try to upload the file, I get the following error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/uploads/openoffice.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in C:\wamp\www\myproject\upload.php on line 40

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'C:\wamp\tmp\phpF66A.tmp' to '/uploads/openoffice.txt'
in C:\wamp\www\myproject\upload.php on line 40 Problem: could not move
file to destination directory

Here are lines 40-43 of upload.php:

if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $upfile)) {
    echo 'Problem: could not move file to destination directory';
    exit;
}

The fact that it's looking in upload.php instead of the folder that it's in makes me wonder whether it's a server error or an issue with my PHP.

I Googled and got this advice but I don't know if it's the right advice, or how to implement it. Help?

You should be supplying a file system path for $upFile, not a web based path. try using the full system path to you your uploads directory like C:\path\to\uploads\openoffice.txt. Unless of course youre actually trying to place the file in C:\uploads...
