And: maybe the OP *really* means something like:
$filelocation = dirname(__FILE__) . "/uploads/" . "/" . time();
That is, he might really want uploads to be *relative* to files on the
website, rather than a absolute place on the server's file system. (The
'dirname(__FILE__)' is just an example, there might be other possibilities.)
