PHP File Upload filed to open stream

function uploadFile() {
            global $attachments;
            while(list($key,$value) = each($_FILES[images][name]))
            {
            if(!empty($value))
            {
            $filename = $value;
            //the Array will be used later to attach the files and then remove them from server ! array_push($attachments, $filename);
            $dir = "/home/blah/Music/$filename";
            chmod("/home/blah/Music",0777);
            $success = copy($_FILES[images][tmp_name][$key], $dir);
            }
            //
            }
            //
            if ($success) {
            echo " Files Uploaded Successfully<BR>";
  //
  }else {
     exit("Sorry the server was unable to upload the files...");
        }
                                //
        }

Trying to upload a file and then send it as an attachment along mail using PHP Mailer

Errors :

Warning: copy(/home/blah/Music/Aerial_view_of_Yamuna_Expressway.jpeg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /opt/lampp/htdocs/UI/user/joinmeeting.php on line 292

Updated :

blah@my001server:~$  ls -la for /home/blah/Music
ls: cannot access for: No such file or directory
/home/blah/Music:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  2 blah blah 4096 Jul  4 10:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 67 blah blah 4096 Sep 21 10:18 ..

Why my linux system is not permitting to copy the file ?

Ok your edit is a bit weird.

blah@my001server:~$  ls -la for /home/blah/Music
ls: cannot access for: No such file or directory
/home/blah/Music:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  2 blah blah 4096 Jul  4 10:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 67 blah blah 4096 Sep 21 10:18 ..

That command is erroranous since it is actually:

blah@my001server:~$  ls -la /home/blah/Music

You should be running.

But ok I see a problem. The file . which denotes the entire folder has no www-data permissions. This means that the default webuser for your Linux distro probably does not have access those files.

Since PHP runs under webuser www-data Linux will not permit it to cp or vi or gedit (or anything else for that matter) it anything it is not owning.

You can try:

sudo chown /home/blah/Music www-data

Instead. This should give some permission to www-data to take control of files within the directory.

Of course this raises even bigger problems. Ideally you would want to disconnect any upload dir or anything from your actual web server due to security needs.

Check permissions for target folder.
Set 777 and try again

$ chmod 777 folder

So as we see now you dont set write permission to Music folder.
Set it manualy from console, not from php script.

Try with move_uploaded_file (http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php) instead of copy :

move_uploaded_file($_FILES[images][tmp_name][$key], $dir);
