Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.move-uploaded-file
---


Test script:
---------------
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "G:\WEB Servers\UwAmp\www\3_KachiVersiaPurva\uploads\\" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

Expected result:
----------------
I expect to upload a file in this directory. When i escape it like this: "G:\WEB Servers\UwAmp\www\\3_KachiVersiaPurva\uploads\\" it's working like a charm. Why i should escape digit (3 in my case). It isn't backslash or so

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: move_uploaded_file(G:\WEB Servers\UwAmp\www_KachiVersiaPurva\uploads\05.11.2016.peak_temperature.gif): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in G:\WEB Servers\UwAmp\www\3_KachiVersiaPurva\image.php on line 32

Thanks for the report. Literals in double quotes extrapolate escape sequences, please consult the manual.

Thanks.

or to explain it better:

"\\3" don't escape the digit

it escapes the backslash itself and it needs to be escaped within ""

you can use even on windows a normal / for a path
