Upload ioError 2038

I have a project where a user can upload an image and it moved to the server via php. All worked fine when the file was flash 9 but I had to convert it to flash 10 for the extra BitmapData functionality. But now regardless of browser and OS the file gets to 100% upload then throws an ioError. Also on my local host it works just fine but when pushed to a live server is where it breaks. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

My as code


private function uploadImageClickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
           uploadFileRef = new FileReference();
            uploadFileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, uploadImageSelectedHandler, false, 0, true);
            uploadFileRef.addEventListener(DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, uploadImageCompleteHandler, false, 0, true);
            uploadFileRef.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, uploadImageProgressHandler, false, 0, true);
            uploadFileRef.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, uploadImageIOErrorHandler, false, 0, true);
            var imagesFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Images", "*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.png");
            uploadFileRef.browse([imagesFilter]);
        }

private function uploadImageSelectedHandler(e:Event):void {
            var uploadURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(appURL + "php/upload.php");
            uploadURL.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
            var uploadVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
            uploadVars.userID = userID;
            uploadURL.data = uploadVars;
            uploadFileRef.upload(uploadURL);
        }

And my php code looks like


if(!is_dir("../userImages/".$userID)) {
    mkdir("../userImages/".$userID, 0777); 
}

include("thumbnail.php");

$now = date("mdYGis");


$filename = strtolower($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
$filename = str_replace(" ", "_", $filename);
$filename = replace($filename);

/*if (file_exists("../".$nickName."/".$filename)){
    @rename("../".$nickName."/".$filename,  "../".$nickName."/".$filename."_".$now);
}*/

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], "../userImages/$userID/".$filename)){
    chmod("../userImages/$userID/".$filename, 0755);
    thumbnail("../userImages/$userID/".$filename, $filename);
}else{
    echo "failed to move file";
}

function replace($toEdit){
        $badChars = array("!", "@", "#", "$", "%", "^", "&", "*", "(", ")", "|", "?", "/", "<", ">", ",", "`", "~", ":", ";", "{", "}", "[", "]");
        $toEdit = str_replace($badChars, "_", $toEdit);
        return $toEdit;
    }
