php - Permission denied while uploading a file

Question

I am using this code to upload a document to my server.

<?php
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0){
echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
}else{
echo getcwd().'<br>';
echo "Upload in file named: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
$info = pathinfo($_FILES['userFile']['name']);
$ext = pathinfo($_FILES['file']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$target = 'upload/100.'.$ext;
move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target);
}

?>

I am getting these error message:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(C:Inetpubvhostsapi.cutm.ac.inhttpdocsUploadMarksupload100.docx) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:Inetpubvhostsapi.cutm.ac.inhttpdocsUploadMarksuploadFile.php on line 14

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'C:WindowsTempphpF64C.tmp' to 'C:Inetpubvhostsapi.cutm.ac.inhttpdocsUploadMarksupload100.docx' in C:Inetpubvhostsapi.cutm.ac.inhttpdocsUploadMarksuploadFile.php on line 14

What am I doing wrong? What changes do I need in my code? Please help me in this regard.

Answer 1

The problem is that your folder is not having write permission. And because of that it is not uploading the file.

You have to give it write permission. You can also use chmod for giving write permission to that folder.

Also check who is having that write permission for that folder. When you upload the file from code it is uploaded as Other user.
