how to set a temp upload directory in php

Question

I try to do a simple upload file and I want to fix the upload directory to upload the file but I’ve tried many ways to do it and I got this error : failed to open stream.

I’ve tried like this '/html5unchained/imgs/'and this C:/wamp/www/html5unchained/imgs/and this C://wamp//www//html5unchained//imgs//

$uploaddir = 'C:\wamp\www\html5unchained\imgs';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);

move_uploaded_file($uploadfile, $uploaddir);

i've tried all the posiblities any help please

The first argument to `move_uploaded_file` must be `$_FILES['userfile']['temp_name']` — Barmar, Jul 25 '14 at 10:43
does the folder exist? do a chmod 777 to get all rights just once like so hmod($uploaddir, 755);// run this just once and retry — ka_lin, Jul 25 '14 at 10:51
@karimkarim U have to use the path in $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] if u want to use `move_uploaded_file`. See example @docs : http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php — DarkBee, Jul 25 '14 at 11:28
@DarkBee: So you are are saying I can`t use this in my PHP scripts: ? — ka_lin, Jul 25 '14 at 13:54
@ka_lin u can use it but if u are running in Windows the chmod will not affect the file. Windows uses ntfs — DarkBee, Jul 25 '14 at 15:06

The location for the uploaded files on the server can be configured with upload_tmp_dir configuration option..
