The file will be stored in a temporary location  so use tmp name instead of name  if  move uploaded file   FILES  image    tmp name      DIR           uploads      FILES  quot image quot    name           echo  quot Uploaded quot     else      echo  quot File not uploaded quot

If you are on a windows machine  there won t be any problems with uploading or writing to the specified folder path  except the syntactical errors   But in case of Linux users  there is a workaround to this problem  even if there are no syntactical errors visible   First of all  I am assuming that you are using this in a Linux environment and you need to upload something to your project folder in the public directory   Even if you are having the write and read access to the project folder  PHP is not handled by the end user  It is and can be handled by a www-data user  or group   So in order to make this www-data get access  first type in   sudo chgrp  www-data  your project folder   once its done  if there is no write access to the following as well   sudo chown g w your project folder   That will do the trick in Linux   Please  not that this is done in a Linux environment  with phpmyadmin  and mysql running

if files are not moving this could be due to several reasons    check permissions that upload directory   make sure its permission is at least 0755      gt  find   -type d -print0   xargs -0 chmod 0755   for directories find    gt  -type f -print0   xargs -0 chmod 0666   for files     make sure upload directory owner  amp  group is not root   in that case your script will not be able to write anything there  so change it to admin or any non-root user     chown -R admin admin public html        will restore permission to admin  for folder and files within it  chown  admin admin public html        will restore permission to admin  for folder only will skip files     check your tmp directory that its writable or not so open php ini and check upload tmp dir   your temp directory path   make sure its writable     try copy function instead of move uploaded file

The mistake that I missed was not putting  enctype multipart form-data  as the element of the form  Just wanted to remind people because it might be your mistake

You are not refering to the temporary location where the file is saved    Use tmp name to access the file   You can always see what s getting posted using    echo   lt pre gt     print r   FILES     If you see this files array you will have an better understanding and idea of what s going on

If move uploaded file   is not working for you and you are not getting any errors  like in my case   make sure that the size of the file image you are uploading is not greater than upload max filesize value in php ini  My upload max filesize value was 2MB on my localhost and I kept trying to upload a 4MB image for countless times while trying to figure out what the issue with move uploaded file   is

it should like this  move uploaded file   FILES  file    tmp name     move     And you cannot move it anywhere in your system  youcan move it in only in your project directory which must be in htdocs or www depends on what you are using wampp  lampp or vertrgo
