file uploadPHPwarnings

I am getting the following warnings on trying on move an uploaded file from the temp folder to the desired one using php

Warning: move_uploaded_file(test/) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Is a directory in /home/…./filename.php on line 69

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpKrCpQw' to 'test/' in /home/…./filename.php on line 69

following are line nos 67 and 69 that are giving the error :

$destination = "test/". $name;

$answer = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['user_file']['tmp_name'],$destination);

It seems like your name is null

$destination = "test/". $name;

echo you name and see what is coimg there.

This is because images and tmp_file_upload are only writable by root user. For upload to work we need to make the owner of those folders same as httpd process owner OR make them globally writable (bad practice).

Check apache process owner: $ps aux | grep httpd. The first column will be the owner typically it will be nobody

Change the owner of images and tmp_file_upload to be become nobody or whatever the owner you found in step 1.

$sudo chown nobody /var/www/html/mysite/images/

$sudo chown nobody /var/www/html/mysite/tmp_file_upload/

Chmod images and tmp_file_upload now to be writable by the owner, if needed [Seems you already have this in place]. Mentioned in @Dmitry Teplyakov answer.
```
$ sudo chmod -R 0755 /var/www/html/mysite/images/

$ sudo chmod -R 0755 /var/www/html/mysite/tmp_file_upload/
```
For more details why this behavior happend, check the manual http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-tmp-dir , note that it also talking about open_basedir directive.

Php – move_uploaded_file() failed to open stream: no such file or directory

you do not need to put the full directory to the file. try to remove /public_html/flashsale/ from your link and see if that will work. In addition, the file does not need to have 777 permission, I myself upload files to folders with 755 permissions.

also, you can use getcwd(); in the directory your aiming to. the function will give you the directory that you need to use for moving your file. source
