problem in uploading attachment to custom directory

Question

i have been trying to upload the attachments to the custom directory without affecting the old uploads. so i use this bellow code to achieve that

add_filter('wp_handle_upload_prefilter', 'cust_pre_upload');
add_filter('wp_handle_upload', 'cust_post_upload');

function cust_pre_upload($file){
add_filter('upload_dir', 'cust_dir');
return $file;
}

function cust_post_upload($fileinfo){
remove_filter('upload_dir', 'cust_dir');
return $fileinfo;
}


function cust_dir( $args ) {
$customdir ="/mars";
$args['path'] = "C:/wamp/www/web1/wp-content";
$args['url']  = "http://localhost/web1/wp-content";

$args['subdir']  = $customdir;
$args['path']   .= $customdir; 
$args['url']    .= $customdir;     
return $args;
}

i use the wp_handle_upload_prefilter to assign the new directory only for the attachment i upload now or in future and wp_handle_upload to prevent the old attacmments. this code perfectly uploading to the folder where it supposed to [http://localhost/web1/wp-content/mars/file.jpg but the attachment get this wrong and show an invalid url of the attachment something like this [http://localhost/web1/wp-content/uploads/C:/wamp/www/web1/wp-content/mars/file.jpg] any help or idea would be appreciated :) tried different types of codes nothing worked out.

If I remember right you need to chdir() into your custom uploads directory (before saving anything there) so that paths are correctly processed and saved in meta.
