You can use this code to see the upload error:

print_r($_FILES['imagefile]['error']);

The error code 6 means that there is no tmp directory. Go to your php.ini and post whats behind that variable:

upload_tmp_dir =

Please post the line `upload_tmp_dir` of your `php.ini` file. – Robin Gillitzer Feb 18 '20 at 10:28
upload_tmp_dir =empty – Jeya kumar G Feb 18 '20 at 10:30
post_max_size = 8M – Jeya kumar G Feb 18 '20 at 10:30
upload_max_size = 2M – Jeya kumar G Feb 18 '20 at 10:31
Try to set this: `upload_tmp_dir = /tmp` and restart your php interpreter. The /tmp folder must be writeable by the webservers user/group. – Robin Gillitzer Feb 18 '20 at 10:34

First, ensure that PHP is configured to allow file uploads. In your "php.ini" file, search for the file_uploads directive, and set it to On:

file_uploads = On

Also did you check like that

echo '<pre>'; print_r($_FILES);echo '</pre>';

and see the result. Are you getting file array and tmp_name? check your php.ini file for file upload settings.

php.ini setting

Change the upload_max_filesize=2M to 8M

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 8M 

; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize
post_max_size = 8M

Here is also solution PHP file upload error tmp_name is empty

Array ( [imagefile] => Array ( [name] => sw.jpeg [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 6 [size] => 0 ) ) – Jeya kumar G Feb 18 '20 at 10:23

I have Checked your Code and its absolutly working fine

<?php
echo $_FILES["imagefile"]["name"];
?>
<form id="product_add" name="product_add" accept-charset="utf-8" action="Check.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="imagefile" class="form-control" type="file"   />
<input type="submit" value="SUBMIT" />
</form>

Please Check If phpinfo(given below) whether "file_uploads" is ON and upload_max_filesize

<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>

$_FILES["imagefile"]["name"] return name but $_FILES["imagefile"]["tmp_name"] return null value?
