I'm trying to create a webpage where I can upload pictures of books when I enter in the the data. I'm getting this error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/www/BookPicturesTreblinkaPic.jpg) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/BelmaresBooks/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/BelmaresBooks/public_html/BookEntryPage.php on line 70

I have two questions:
1. Exactly what is the allowed path here? I'm not used to ':'s being considerred part of a path.
2. Is there any way to change the allowed path? thx

I think there is a problem with writing uploaded file. You should change configuration of your web server or try look into php.ini. There are allowed paths for browsing, viewing and writing. It is for security resons that script cannot write into disabled directories. E.g. when someone tries to damage a server offering public webpages and scripts, he can tell the script to delete or change some files. But this isn't possible because it's disabled by server.
":" in allowed paths is only separator, it means that there begins new path behind this.
