upload_dir via http://localhost

Hi,

I'd to upload a file to a folder :

$upload_dir = "MyFolder/";

if (isset($_POST['action'])) {
if (!is_dir("$upload_dir"))
{ die ("The directory doesn't exist"); ....

it's ok when I use it!

Now, my windows XP Sp2 has a web server IIS

$upload_dir = "http://localhost/MyFolder/";

and it gives the error : The directory doesn't exist

"MyFolder/" is always in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
ie C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyFolder

Thank you for showing me how to use
"myFolder" via http://localhost

http://localhost/MyFolder/ isn't a (local) directory, it's a URL.

Since you have an invocation that works, why do you want to do something
diferent?

Thank you for your help,

then how can I use the URL instead of the folder ?

Any help would be appreciated

You can't. Like it's name indicates - is_dir() checks to see if the
parameter is a directory.

And like Paul asked. Why are you changing something that's working?
