Permissions - Error on move uploaded file

Question

So i'm receiving a warning on uploading an image:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(images/photo.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied..

Here is the code:

$upload = "images/";
$tmp_name = $_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"];
$name = $_FILES["image"]["name"];
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$upload/$name");

Now if I go to the images directory in putty and type ls -la I get:

drwxrwxrwx+ user daemon 96 Apr 16 12:41 .
drwxrwxrwx+ user daemon 96 Apr 16 12:41 ..

Not entirely sure what this means, I assume I have read write execute permissions.

I tried chmod 0777 but I still receive the error.

Can anyone tell me how I can upload the images without the permissions error.

Give permission to the folder

   $upload = "images/";
   $tmp_name = $_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"];
   $name = $_FILES["image"]["name"];
   move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$upload/$name", 0777);

Although 0777, might be a little to generous security wise :/ – Krycke Apr 18 '15 at 12:36
I get an error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '0777'. – stark Apr 18 '15 at 12:37
