[function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in

Trying to implement and Upload form on my Web Server:

upload.hmtl :

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

upload.php :
<?php
$currentdir = getcwd();

$target = $currentdir . "/upload/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;
echo "Temp Location: $target_path<br>";
$temploc=$_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];
echo "Temploc: $temploc<br>";

$ok=1;

//This is our size condition
if ($uploaded_size > 350000)
{
echo "Your file is too large.<br>";
$ok=0;
}

//This is our limit file type condition
if ($uploaded_type =="text/php")
{
echo "No PHP files<br>";
$ok=0;
}

//Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error
if ($ok==0)
{
Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded";
}

//If everything is ok we try to upload it
else
{
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) //THIS IS LINE 43
{
echo "The file ".
basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
}
?>


What you get when you attempt to use the upload form :

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/chris/public_html/upload/Caleb.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/chris/public_html/upload.php on line 43

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpoWCXpD' to '/home/chris/public_html/upload/Caleb.jpg' in /home/chris/public_html/upload.php on line 43
Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.




Any ideas????

Do you have the correct permissions on /home/chris/public_html/upload/?

Ok....talk about feeling like a complete moron. In past years I'd built up such a mental block regarding Linux.....and that's been my biggest problem in learning it.......I keep trying to make things more difficult than they really are. Thank You!

thanx, is this a problem on .. say godaddy's hosting.

Hello,

what exactly are the permissions for that? My folder has 777 permissions and although it works fine locally, it does not work on the host server :(

thanks
Nick

Any ideas????

did you solve that ?? I 'm working to understand php at w3schools. when i tried thisexample (http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp), i took similar message as yours which you seeing below:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(transpix.gif) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/yeni/index.php on line 234

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpNwcYNk' to 'transpix.gif' in /var/www/yeni/index.php on line 234
Stored in: transpix.gif


/var/www/yeni directory and sub directories are chmod 777.:confused:

I had this error w/my Godaddy account.>I just had to log into my account & use the File Manager in the Hosting Control Center to set the permissions to read & write for the folder which I was trying to upload to.

I had this problem as well. I am noob to linux and I didn't know that I needed to give special permissions to certain files. What are permissions and exactly how did you fix your problem?
