Permission denied with move_uploaded_file();

Question

I get the error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/var/www/html/images/content/1485397694.JPG): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/content/admin.blog.edit.php on line 48

When I try to upload an image.

The /var/www/html/images folder has permission 777, but it still doesn't solve this problem. I searched for hours now but can't get any further.

    $newfilename = round(microtime(true)).'.'.end($temp);
if (file_exists("/var/www/html/images/content/".$newfilename)) {
  $file_exists = 1;
} else {
  if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "/var/www/html/images/content/".$newfilename)) {
    $upload_failed = 1;
  }
}

This is the ps aux | grep httpd :

make sure that the group (rights) and permissions are correct and that all folders leading to it have the right permissions. — Funk Forty Niner, Jan 26 '17 at 02:52
@Fred-ii- the folder is set with group webadmin, owner apache and right 2777 (including GID) — Matthew Keller, Jan 26 '17 at 02:55
do all of those folders exist? here are a few related links to Q&A's http://stackoverflow.com/q/8103860/1415724 --- http://stackoverflow.com/q/16299861/1415724 --- https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=59697 --- http://stackoverflow.com/q/28786047/1415724 — Funk Forty Niner, Jan 26 '17 at 02:57
Still doesn't do anything for me. Still the same error code. — Matthew Keller, Jan 26 '17 at 03:03

PHP Warning: Unknown: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

Just because your /images file might have the correct permissions doesn't necessarily mean that the /images/content file that it looks like you are moving the image to has the correct permissions. Try directly changing the folder you are moving files to, not just the parent older.

You're testing

file_exists("/var/www/html/images/content/".$newfilename)

and then trying to move it if the file does not exist. The error is in your conditional logic. The attempt to move,

if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "/var/www/html/images/content/".$newfilename)) {
    $upload_failed = 1;
}

should be moved to the clause where the files exists.
