move_uploaded_file failed to open stream: Permissi

Question

While i am trying to move_uploaded_file in php with following code :

if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileupload2']['tmp_name'])){

        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileupload2']['tmp_name'], "images/".$_FILES['fileupload2']['name']);

    }

I've got this error saying:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(images/VIDEO_TS.VOB): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/Week3/Lesson2/do_upload.php on line 24

i tried in the terminal and didn't work:

sudo CHMOD 775 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/Week3/Lesson2/do_upload.php 

sudo chmod -R 0755 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/Week3/Lesson2/do_upload.php 

sudo chown nobody /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/Week3/Lesson2/do_upload.php 

I am still getting the error and i am using Yosemite, any other solution ?

Answer 1

This problem solved by changing permission as described avobe and making the target folder in the same directory {Root rather than Home } in which application is running

path for image upload

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/emp/files/admin_assets/addsdassets/targrt_Folder

path of folder in which application is running

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/emp/files/admin_assets/addsdassets/inser_db.php

Answer 2

My solution was to give the permission for the images folder and the php file, by going to the file > Right click > Get info > and then change all the permissions to read&write as the following picture.

Answer 3

apply

sudo chmod 777 images/

to the folder/directory which is your server folder to store images. Please check which is your folder. Totally depends on your choice.

Answer 4

Set the same permission for your target(uploading) folder

I was running Yii2 on IIS (Windows 10) and I tweaked the path and got it working. See code snippet below:

if($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) {

    $image = UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'image');
    $model->image = $image->getBaseName().'.'.$image->extension;            
    if($model->save()) {
        $image->saveAs('uploads/'.$model->image);//Notice the path change here
        return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->ID]);
    }

}
else {

    return $this->render('update-image', [
        'model' => $model
    ]);
}

Hope this helps.

You can try after changing owner for the folder images where you are saving the images. It may work.

chown ownername:group folder;

you have to give absolute address of the folder
