move uploaded image into folder in php(move_uploaded_file() function)

I have a problem with moving uploaded files.

<?php
$image_name = $_FILES['image']['name'] ;
$target_file = "../uploads/$image_name";
$targetFileForItem = "uploads/$image_name";

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target_file);


$sql = "INSERT INTO items (name , description,`price`, `country`, `release`, `condition`, `image`) 
        VALUES ('$name','$description','$price', '$country', '$date', '$condition', '$targetFileForItem')" ;

?>

the variable $targetFileForItem works currect, and inserts into my db very well, but the file don't move into $target_filevar's folder, which is uploads. As you see I use move_uploaded_file() function, but i's not working. Any suggestions?

Check your permission for upload folder it must be 775. If you are using FTP than right click on folder and change File permission of that folder to 755. If it's localhost then it must be a path or folder name issue.

And make your code like this so you can get find out errors also. 

<?php
$image_name = $_FILES['image']['name'] ;
$target_file = "../uploads/$image_name";
$targetFileForItem = "uploads/$image_name";

// if folder not exists than it will make folder.

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

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target_file))
{
      echo "file successfully uploaded";       
}
else
{
      echo "error in file upload";
}

?>

Write this to debug

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

If your code is ok then check file permissions you can use this

if (is_dir($target_file ) && is_writable($target_file )) {
    // do upload logic here
} else {
    echo 'Upload directory is not writable, or does not exist.';
}

is_writable Returns TRUE if the filename exists and is writable. The filename argument may be a directory name allowing you to check if a directory is writable

for more info read this http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-writable.php
