I zapped(dbase term I don't know current term) the db and started again. I'm thinking the admin hadn't set the folder permissions right after I told him too. I'm thinking he had that 2 hour delay brain to finger typing syndrome. Works great now.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you.
This shouldn't be permission problem. Can you tell me if your folder is created? Normally you need only chmod 0777 to pics/ folder. The rest is done by the script. The problems come when PHP safe mod is enabled - the worst ever PHP feature (I'm happy it'll be gone with PHP6)
