Enable permissions on a folder to allow file upload.

php apache upload xampp

You need to run the command

chmod -Rf 777 FOLDER_PATH

here FOLDER_PATH is the your folder path where the images get stored

I'm using xampp on a mac. I have the following script which I'm trying to use to upload a file to a folder:

upload.php

<?php
$allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png");
$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";

    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
      {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      }
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
?>

The upload form is simply:

index.html

<html>
<body>

<form action="upload.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>

My folder structure in htdocs is:

-/htdocs
  -index.html
  -upload.php
  -/upload

When I run the script I get the following error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(upload/dirt.png) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/development/Templates/PHP&JS/Upload Files to Server/form upload/upload.php on line 29

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/temp/phpAQWDB1' to 'upload/dirt.png' in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/development/Templates/PHP&JS/Upload Files to Server/form upload/upload.php on line 29 Stored in: upload/dirt.png

How do I change the properties of the upload folder to allow uploading of files? I there a config file I should include to enable this?
