How to upload files from form to server and store in a new folder

I'm having trouble trying to upload files from a form and create a new folder and store those forms.

My code is:

for($i=0; $i<count($_FILES['uploadfiles']['name']); $i++) {
    $temp = explode(".", strtolower($_FILES['uploadfiles']["name"][$i]));
    $extension = end($temp);
    //var_dump($extension);
    if ((($_FILES['uploadfiles']["type"][$i] == "image/pdf")
        || ($_FILES['uploadfiles']["type"][$i] == "image/jpeg")
        || ($_FILES['uploadfiles']["type"][$i] == "image/jpg")
        || ($_FILES['uploadfiles']["type"][$i] == "image/pjpeg")
        || ($_FILES['uploadfiles']["type"][$i] == "image/png")
        || ($_FILES['uploadfiles']["type"][$i] == "image/x-png"))
        && in_array($extension, $allowedExtensions)) {
          if ($_FILES['uploadfiles']["error"][$i] > 0) {
            echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES['uploadfiles']["error"][$i] . "<br>";
          } else {
            move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfiles']["tmp_name"][$i],
               $folder_destination . $_FILES['uploadfiles']["name"][$i]);
          }
    }
  }

I would like to create a folder or check if the folder exists and write the files submitted via the form to that folder.

Based on the warning you're getting, I would guess that the problem is that you don't have a permission to write to the folder or the folder doesn't exist.

You can check chmod function to change the rights or do it manually on the server.

Before the for() loop, you should do:

if (!is_dir($folder_destination)) { mkdir($folder_destination,0777); }

This will create the folder with global write permissions in case if it's not yet present.

You can create folder like that but make sure you have write permission

if (!file_exists($folder_destination)) {
    mkdir($folder_destination, 0777, true); 
}

copy your file to there like that

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfiles']["tmp_name"][$i], $folder_destination . $_FILES['uploadfiles']["name"][$i]);
