</form>
<?php
  if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "C:\wamp64\www\project")) {

error: "Undefined index: userfile in C:\wamp64\www\project\firstfile.php " .Any solutions ?

undefined index userfile, that means when the page loads there is no $_FILES['imageupload'] you need to submit the page to have that variable

<?php
if(isset($_POST['save'])){
    $path="upload/";
    $name = $_FILES['imageupload']['name'];//Name of the File
    $temp = $_FILES['imageupload']['tmp_name'];
    if(move_uploaded_file($temp, $path . $name)){
        echo "success";
    }else{
        echo "failed";
    }
}
?>
<form method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="imageupload">
    <input type="submit" name="save" value="submit">
</form>

Thank you.But there is one more problem.The images will always be saved to the main wamp folder and never to the specified path. How I solve that ? – Danelo Nov 25 '16 at 09:24
You need to change the path lol Look up move_uploaded_file() on php.net – Bernhard Nov 25 '16 at 09:44

 Please try this  
<?php
        if(isset($_POST['save'])){
            $path = __DIR__ . "/uploads/";
            $img_name = $_FILES['imageupload']['name'];
            $temp_name = $_FILES['imageupload']['tmp_name'];
            if(move_uploaded_file($temp_name, $path . $img_name)){
                echo "uploaded";
            }else{
                echo "failed";
