I am a beginner at this so pls someone help me figure out something. it may be nothing but here goes.

I am making a flash file uploader for my site and it needs a php script to actually upload the file to server. the code is as follows:

\<body\>\<?php  
if ($\_FILES[‘Filedata’][‘name’]) {  
move\_uploaded\_file($\_FILES[‘Filedata’][‘tmp\_name’], ‘upload\_directory/’ . basename($\_FILES[‘Filedata’][‘name’]));  
}  
?\>

will this work or do i need to change some vaues in the code such as the folder which the file goes into etc?
