Question

I want to upload an image. Every time I try to upload the image I recieve the error message found below.

I have already set the permissions to read&write:

Answer 1

try this in terminal

sudo chmod -R 777 upload/

p.s. got to the upload directory and run sudo chmode -R 777 directly.

Answer 2

Friend, You only need only to create the directory where are your .php file is found:

uploads/

And change the Only write in the folder

Answer 3

Please use below code:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'],'uploads/1000020170620022532img3.png');

If this code is not working please check path and folder permission.
