Im currently working with Jcrop to let users crop an image, after they crop they can upload the image, I want to use php to crop the image and move the file to the correct directory.

This is the tutorial im following: Tutorial

In my i have this input element : 

<input type="file" name="upload-image" id="upload-image"/>

then when the image crop region is selected with Jcrop the user will upload the form. this is the bit of PHP which is not working: 

 // new unique filename
 $sTempFileName = 'cache/' . md5(time().rand());

 // move uploaded file into cache folder
 move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload-image']['tmp_name'], "upload/" . $sTempFileName);

Then when i upload the form i get these 2 errors.

Warning: move_uploaded_file(../upload/cache/6b769249a48996fd69d527b2412b684e): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

and

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move 'C:\wamp1\tmp\phpB1A0.tmp' to '../upload/cache/6b769249a48996fd69d527b2412b684e'

I checked a lot of stackoverflow pages already but the all use a folder to upload the image to, but in this tutorial it says it needs to upload the file into the cache folder. That makes me think i don't need to specify a folder to upload to.

Make sure the target directory (../upload/cache/) exists and is writable by the web server. If you're not certain where the upload/cache directory should be, you can find out by temporarily adding this line right before the call to move_uploaded_file:

echo realpath($sTempFileName);
