I had a simplest, dumbest script for uploading files and returning success true or false after the operation. Not sure why, suddenly the script stopped working giving me a failed to open stream: No such file or directory error in move_uploaded_file line. It’s strange since I haven’t changed any paths, permissions, nothing basically. Any tips how to tackle this ? I’m a total newcomer to php. My script below :

if(isset($_FILES)){
    $file_tmp  = $_FILES['mpp-file']['tmp_name'];
    $file_name = $_FILES['mpp-file']['name'];

    if(is_uploaded_file($file_tmp)) {
        if(move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, "tmp/$file_name")){               
            echo '{"success": true}';
            unlink("tmp/$file_name");
        } else {
            echo '{"success": false}';
        }    
    }  else{
        echo '{success: false}';
    }
}

And the page from stacktrace :

    You are required to check whether the tmp directory exists or not.
    This error is displayed when the location where you are trying to move a file doesnot exists.

    if(isset($_FILES)){
    $file_tmp  = $_FILES['mpp-file']['tmp_name'];
    $file_name = $_FILES['mpp-file']['name'];
$directory_path = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/tmp/$file_name";

    if(is_uploaded_file($file_tmp)) {
if(is_dir($directory_path))
{

        if(move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, "tmp/$file_name")){               
            echo '{"success": true}';
            unlink("tmp/$file_name");
        } else {
            echo '{"success": false}';
        }
}else
{
echo "No such directory exists";
}    
    }  else{
        echo '{success: false}';
    }
}
