PHP on WAMP: problems uploading / creating a file

Question

I get this error and I am not sure how to clear it. Not sure if its on my WAMP and if so I have two ini file, development and production, where should I look?

( ! ) Warning: move_uploaded_file(uploadedFiles/gal2.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\fileupload.php on line 20

#   Time    Memory  Function    Location

2   0.0015  303448  move_uploaded_file ( )  ..\fileupload.php:20

( ! ) Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move 'C:\wamp\tmp\php71A.tmp' to 'uploadedFiles/gal2.jpg' in C:\wamp\www\fileupload.php on line 20

The code is below:

$desiredPath = 'uploadedFiles/';
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
    print "Picture Info"."<br>";
    print_r($_FILES['picture']);

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['picture']['tmp_name'], $desiredPath.$_FILES['picture']['name']))
    {
        print 'File Upload Successful';
        print '<div>';
        print '<img width="300px" src="'.$desiredPath.$_FILES['picture']['name'].'">';
        print '</div>';
    }
    else
    {
        print 'File Upload Failed with error code: '.$_FILES['picture']['error'];
    }
}

Make sure the folder has proper write permissions. Either 0755 or 0777. Also make sure that your folder is indeed named uploadedFiles and not uploadedfiles. It matters on UNIX/LINUX systems. — Funk Forty Niner

Your code:

$desiredPath = 'uploadedFiles/';

Have you tested that the directory exists, before moving the file to it? Code below:

if(!file_exists($desiredPath)) {
    mkdir($desiredPath, 0755, true);
}

It's just a suggestion. I was trying to create an upload script myself and that little block of code solved all my problems
