Question

I have a folder known as “Mobile_App” and in that folder is a html page which contains a file input, a php script which uploads files, and a folder known as “ImageFiles”.

The problem is that the files are not being uploaded into the “ImageFiles”. What I want to know is that is the code below correct when it comes to uploading a file into the “Imagefiles” folder or is it incorrect and how can I get it working correctly?

Below is the php script which uploads a file (the file input is known as “fileImage”):

<?php

   $destination_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/ImageFiles";

   $result = 0;

   $target_path = $destination_path . basename( $_FILES['fileImage']['name']);

   if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileImage']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
      $result = 1;
   }

   sleep(1);

?>

First of all, you have no / between the folder name and the file name. Secondly, you don’t need to have the document root. Corrected code:

<?php

   $destination_path = "/ImageFiles";

   $result = 0;

   $target_path = $destination_path . "/" . basename( $_FILES['fileImage']['name']);

   if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileImage']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
      $result = 1;
   }

   sleep(1);

?>
