Permission denied when saving a file to xampp htdocs directory

Question

Hello I have this problem that I am trying to save a file to a directory on htdocs it says permission denied.

  <?php


$image = file_get_contents('http://www.affiliatewindow.com/logos/1961/logo.gif');
file_put_contents('./images/myFile.gif', $image);

Forgive me but what part of that error isn't clear? Your web server user does not have the authority to write to that directory. — Dave, Jul 02 '18 at 15:49

You have to allow the permission to insert the image into the specific folder which is in htdocs for an example In ubuntu

sudo chmod 644 /opt/lampp/hdocs/yourfolder

like wise you have to give permission to access that specific folder

Tried `sudo chmod 755 /path` but that didn't work either. – Eyad Mohammed Osama Feb 26 '19 at 20:36
Also i tried to change the owner to `www-data` but failed to solve the problem. – Eyad Mohammed Osama Feb 26 '19 at 20:37

I solved it by changing the owners permissions of the directory. Through `Properties` dialog box , i changed both `owner` and `group` to `www-data` , and gave them access to `Create and delete files` , also i gave `others` the same level of access. I know this might be a very bad idea , but that's the only solution that seems to be working for me. – Eyad Mohammed Osama Mar 02 '19 at 21:46

Yeah worked for me by changing `owner` and `group` to my `laptpop_userName` – dennohpeter Oct 16 '19 at 18:13
