Move_Uploaded_File Gives "Failed to Open Stream: Permission Denied" Error

move_uploaded_file gives failed to open stream: Permission denied error

This is because images and tmp_file_upload are only writable by root user. For upload to work we need to make the owner of those folders same as httpd process owner OR make them globally writable (bad practice).

  1. Check apache process owner: $ps aux | grep httpd. The first column will be the owner typically it will be nobody
  2. Change the owner of images and tmp_file_upload to be become nobody or whatever the owner you found in step 1.

    $sudo chown nobody /var/www/html/mysite/images/

    $sudo chown nobody /var/www/html/mysite/tmp_file_upload/
  3. Chmod images and tmp_file_upload now to be writable by the owner, if needed [Seems you already have this in place]. Mentioned in @Dmitry Teplyakov answer.

    $ sudo chmod -R 0755 /var/www/html/mysite/images/

    $ sudo chmod -R 0755 /var/www/html/mysite/tmp_file_upload/
  4. For more details why this behavior happend, check the manual http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-tmp-dir , note that it also talking about open_basedir directive.

move_uploaded_file failed to open stream: Permission denied - Mac

My solution was to give the permission for the images folder and the php file, by going to the file > Right click > Get info > and then change all the permissions to read&write as the following picture.

php file upload error warning move_uploaded_file failed to open stream permission denied in

I have tried the same code and it works for me. I have made some changes for you.

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="">Upload Your Cv</label><input type="file" name="file">
<input type="submit" name="upload" value="upload">
</form>

After that you don't need to redirect the page; instead you can use this, below the </form>

if(isset($_REQUEST["upload"]))
{
if (isset($_FILES['file'])) {
$file = $_FILES['file'];
// print_r($file); just checking File properties

// File Properties
$file_name = $file['name'];
$file_tmp = $file['tmp_name'];
$file_size = $file['size'];
$file_error = $file['error'];

// Working With File Extension
$file_ext = explode('.', $file_name);
$file_fname = explode('.', $file_name);

$file_fname = strtolower(current($file_fname));
$file_ext = strtolower(end($file_ext));
$allowed = array('txt','pdf','doc','ods');


if (in_array($file_ext,$allowed)) {
//print_r($_FILES);


if ($file_error === 0) {
if ($file_size <= 5000000) {
$file_name_new = $file_fname . uniqid('',true) . '.' . $file_ext;
$file_name_new = uniqid('',true) . '.' . $file_ext;
$file_destination = 'upload/' . $file_name_new;
// echo $file_destination;
if (move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, $file_destination)) {
echo "Cv uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "some error in uploading file".mysql_error();
}
//
}
else
{
echo "size must bne less then 5MB";
}
}

}
else
{
echo "invalid file";
}
}
}

Note that the upload folder must be in the same directory as where you store the file.

move_uploaded_file Failed to open stream: Permission denied in XAMPP MacOS

like under nix, You can try (under test - not productive server):
chmod -R 755 ./
.*
chmod +x ./.

where ./is your document root of HTML files (do not use it as root/admin !!!)
the Argument -R stands for "recursive operation" - so it will try to include all sub directories under ./

and:
chown -R www-data:www-data ./.

at Your document root.

www-data group, and user is need by Apache2.4 - see Settings in Manual.

The group, and user www-data is important under *nix like Operation Systems.
Under Windows, You have to start XAMPP with Administrator Rights.
So be warned !!!

And: You should never be use XAMPP productive !!!

move_uploaded_file failed to open stream and Permission denied error

Maybe you can consider changing the upload folder chmod 755 or 777

chmod 777 folder_path 

By this we are setting read. write and execute privilege for owner, group as well as others.

php 8.1 Mac 11.6.6 move_uploaded_file failed to open stream: Permission denied error

The owner of the destination folder, /Library/WebServer/Documents/pjamesnorris/img/ has to be _www as well!
