PHP move_uploaded_file local path

Question

Is it possible to add a local destination to method move_uploaded_file? example C:/foo/

I want to upload files, but store them outside the root folder, and use an alias to access the new destination.

I do not think that the user apache able to write outside the space reserved for his virtualhost! — JellyBelly, Sep 12 '12 at 14:01
As long as the server daemon user has access to the destination path, you should be able to write to it. — WWW, Sep 12 '12 at 14:02
@ViralShah: but one must take into consideration the fact that if you do not have a dedicated server is not feasible. — JellyBelly, Sep 12 '12 at 14:22

Here is the definition: bool move_uploaded_file ( string $filename , string $destination )

In $destination you can put any valid path. Be sure the directory security allows for writing for the user that webserver runs as.

Found the problem. As I had the alias bar to point to my C:/foo/ path, in the PHP code I was adding bar to the $destination parameter.

It works if I set the parameter $destination to C:/foo/
