I can't upload files using Uploadify onto my server

Question

I am having problems when trying to upload files onto my server. I am using the uploadify plugin to upload files onto my server then store the filename in a database.

the problem is that uplodify acts like the file has been uploaded with no error but nothing is being uploaded.

I am runing PHP on a Windows 2008 R2 Server

the following is my php code that handle the actual upload.

<?php

require("../requires/LDAP_connection.php");
require("../requires/APP_configuration.php");
require("../requires/PHP_generic_functions.php");

//Include connection class
require('../classes/connection.php');
require('../requires/user_authentication.php');  //this file must be placed under the connection class NOT before

define('ROOT_SYS', dirname(__FILE__).'/');

// Define a destination
$targetFolder = '';
$verifyToken = '100';
$actualToken = '';
$fileTypes = array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png');

if(isset($_POST['upload_path'])){
    $targetFolder = $_POST['upload_path'];
}

if(isset($_POST['timestamp'])){
    $verifyToken = md5($_POST['timestamp']);
}

if(isset($_POST['token'])){
$actualToken = $_POST['token'];
}

if(isset($_POST['allowed_extentions'])){

    $types = explode(',', $_POST['allowed_extentions']);

    if(count($types) > 0 ){
        $fileTypes = $types;
    }
}


if (!empty($_FILES) && $actualToken == $verifyToken) {
    $tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
    $targetPath =  ROOT_SYS . $targetFolder;   //$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
    $new_filename = USER_ID . '_' . time() . '_' . str_replace(" ", "_", $_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
    $targetFile = $targetPath . $new_filename;

    // Validate the file type
    //$fileTypes = array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png'); // File extensions
    $fileParts = pathinfo($new_filename);  //str_replace(" ", "_", $_FILES['Filedata']['name'])

    if (in_array($fileParts['extension'],$fileTypes)) {
        move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
        echo trim($new_filename);
    } else {
        echo 'INVALID';
    }
}
?>

the following is my javascript

<?php $timestamp = time();?>

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
        $('#file_upload').uploadify({
            'formData'     : {
                'timestamp' : '<?php echo $timestamp;?>',
                'token'     : '<?php echo md5($timestamp);?>',
                'upload_path': 'add-ons/ticketing_system/uploads/',
                'allowed_extentions': 'jpg,jpeg,gif,PNG,JPG,png,zip,rar,doc,docx,cvs,xls,xlsx,txt'
            },
            'auto' : true,
            'swf'      : '../../includes/uploadify.swf',
            'uploader' : '../../includes/uploadify.php',
            'fileSizeLimit' : '10MB',
            'fileTypeExts' : '*.gif; *.jpg; *.JPG; *.png; *.PNG *.zip; *.rar; *.doc; *.docx; *.cvs; *.xls; *.xlsx; *.txt;',
            'onUploadSuccess' : function(file, data, response) {
                if(data != 'INVALID'){
                    $('#attached_files').append('<input type="hidden" name="attachments[]" value="'+ $.trim(data) +'" />');
                } else {

                    alert('Invalid File Type');
                }
            }

        });
    });
</script>

What am I doing wrong? Why is it not uploading anything and also not giving me any error?

Thanks

Uploadify has a debug mode to help you with issues like this : http://www.uploadify.com/documentation/uploadifive/debug-2/

The things I usually look for are permissions errors...and maybe your authentication methods.
