I tried using for loop but it wont work its move the file (sample.jpg) to the first folder (folder1) only, while moving the same file to the second folder (folder2) it throws an error

You can create a copy of the file before moving it to the first directory, then move the copy into the second directory.

Use the copy() function to copy the file.

Your code should look something like this –

$firstDestination = "path/to/your/firstDirectory/" . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$secondDestination = "path/to/your/secondDirectory/";

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $firstDestination );
copy($firstDestination, $secondDestination);
