I can use this to upload html and txt files but it won't work for pdf files can someone please help me figure this out.

Here is the form I'm using:
CODE

<?php

echo "<title>file upload</title>";
echo "<h1 align=\"left\">File Upload</h1>";
echo "<div align=\"left\">";
echo "<style type=\"text/css\">
BODY{font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif}
</style><form method=post action=\"upload2a.php\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">
<p>Update for: Dinner Menu<br>Select a file to Upload: <br><input type=file name=img1 size=30></p>
<p><input type=submit value=\"Upload File\"></p></form>"
?>


Here is the upload php file:

<?php
$webServer="/home/mcguire/public_html/";

echo "<title>file upload</title>";
echo "<h1 align=\"left\">File Upload</h1>";
echo "<div align=\"left\">";
echo "<style type=\"text/css\">
BODY{font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif}
</style>";

# Check whether file is uploaded successfully
if($img1_name == "McGuires-Dinner.pdf"){
    @copy("$img1","$webServer$img1_name") or die("FAILURE! Please double check your file.<br><br><a href=\"uploadform2a.php\">&laquo;Go back</a>");
}
else{
    die("FAILURE! $img1_name is not the correct file.<br><br><a href=\"uploadform2.php\">&laquo;Go back</a>");

}
echo "<html><head><title>Successful File Upload!</title></head><body><h2>Success!</h2>
<p>Your website has been updated.<br><br>The following file has been uploaded: $img1_name<br>Size: $img1_size byte<br>Type: $img1_type.</p>
<a href=\"uploadform2a.php\">&laquo;Go back to upload form</a></body></html>";
?>

not recomended to upload to server http root, security issue.
maybe what is causing the error, but you are able to do others.

make a new dir. cmod to 0777
/home/mcguire/uploads

unless php has changed , dont actually see how this will work.
it uploads to php tmp dir and then copy it from their.

try to modify one i have, you may need to adjust it.
CODE

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['img1']['tmp_name'], $webServer.'/'.$_FILES['img1']);
