[wp-hackers] Uploading Files with a Plugin

[Benedict Eastaugh]

What's wrong with just using get_option('upload_path'); ? It doesn't
need to be appended to ABSPATH, as it's based on the WP_CONTENT_DIR
constant; that's why you're getting those paths, because it's
appending one absolute filesystem path to another.
