    $userfile_size=$_FILES['uploadfile']['size'];
    $imggtype=$_FILES['uploadfile']['type'];
    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'],"./uploads/".$filename))
        {   
            echo $filename;
        }
    }

Here uploadfile is the name of the file field.And i have a folder with name uploads in root folder.When i uploading file i got errors.This is working in our server but not working in client’s server.

Answer 1

The error message states that it’s a permissions issue. Ensure that you have the correct permissions set on the the uploads folder. From the documentation:

You’ll need a destination folder for your uploaded images. Create a
folder at the root of your CodeIgniter installation called uploads and
set its file permissions to 777.
