Trying make file upload with PHP?

Question

I'm trying make a file upload using PHP. To do it I'm using $_FILE but I can't understand why does not works. Looking for solutions I'm found some suggestion to use $_FILE, but still can't do this works. To I see if upload works I'm using Postman of Chrome. I'm using Ubuntu with LAMP.

How could I do it ?

<?php

$arquivo = isset($_FILES["file"]) ? $_FILES["file"] : FALSE;

if(!$arquivo) { 
    echo "You can not access this file directly!"; 
}else{
    $diretorio = "/home/fernando/Imagens/";

    if (move_uploaded_file($arquivo["tmp_name"], $diretorio.$arquivo["name"])) { 
            echo "File upload ok!"; 
    }else{
         echo "File not upload!"; 
    }   
}

?>

Exception

<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  move_uploaded_file(/home/fernando/Imagens/avatar_empresa.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in 
<b>/var/www/TelefonesUteis/ws/add_file.php</b> on line

Maan the error is very clear if you read it.. there are no enough write permissions on the path to which you are trying to move the file to.. give it write permissions and try again — Ananth, Feb 24 '15 at 19:19
very nice. Thanks a lot !!! I did `chmod -R 777 /home/fernando/Imagens` and now works. — FernandoPaiva, Feb 24 '15 at 19:44

Your script doesn't have permissions to add and/or execute files in /home/fernando/Imagens/. Your will have to use chmod:

chmod -R 775 /home/fernando/Imagens

`775` should be enough, don't need to execute anything there surely? – AStopher Feb 24 '15 at 19:46

Yes, you are correct `775` is probably a safer alternative in most cases. Edited my answer. – Marcus Olsson Feb 24 '15 at 19:50
Remember that CHMOD only gives permissions to the current files there, if you're gonna add new folders/files they will be blocked by default, you would have to repeat the chmod thing each time your application uploads or generates a new thing inside that folder. Dealing with web applications on Linux (that make use of uploads or file management) is a HEADACHE, enough said hahaha, get ready to use a lot of console. – JuanBonnett Feb 24 '15 at 19:55

Yes, but his problem is that he doesn't have permissions to write files to the folder. If he use chmod 775 or 777, he will have those permissions. – Marcus Olsson Feb 24 '15 at 19:57
