  • its not an error i am trying to get it to upload the file in a subfolder but cant seem to get it working – Ahmar Safi Jan 19 '21 at 13:47

    Please give us a clear problem description. _I appear to be getting errors_ is not very helpful - either you do or you don't get errors. What do you expect to happen, what is actually happening? Do you have error reporting enabled? – berend Jan 19 '21 at 13:49
  • If you are using the `@` error supression character, you are shouting that you are doing something wrong. If you get errors fix them dont pretend they dont exist – RiggsFolly Jan 19 '21 at 13:51
  • sorry first time using this – Ahmar Safi Jan 19 '21 at 13:51
  • Is that 2 different files you are showing us there? – RiggsFolly Jan 19 '21 at 13:52
  • The `@` symbol suppresses any errors for that line of code, so it's not surprising you aren't getting any errors. – GrumpyCrouton Jan 19 '21 at 13:53
  • would i need to remove this to show the errors – Ahmar Safi Jan 19 '21 at 13:54
  • also its one file – Ahmar Safi Jan 19 '21 at 13:54
  • Add [error reporting](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/845021/) to the top of your file(s) _while testing_ right after your opening PHP tag for example. Even if you are developing on a server configured as LIVE you will now see any errors. ` – RiggsFolly Jan 19 '21 at 13:56
  • Better test and will allow you to lose the `@` would be `if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] == "Upload File") {` Check it exists before using it – RiggsFolly Jan 19 '21 at 13:58
  • thank you i no longer need the @ but am unable to put it in a path so that the file gets uploaded there – Ahmar Safi Jan 19 '21 at 14:03
  • Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in C:\Users\Ali\Desktop\USBWebserver v8.5\8.5\root\Fileupload.php on line 29 this is the error I have got – Ahmar Safi Jan 19 '21 at 14:13
  • Does this answer your question? [Reference — What does this symbol mean in PHP?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3737139/reference-what-does-this-symbol-mean-in-php) – Nico Haase Jan 19 '21 at 21:45
  • i do not know how to add a path file /foler to my code – Ahmar Safi Jan 19 '21 at 23:49
  • Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in C:\Users\Ali\Desktop\USBWebserver v8.5\8.5\root\Fileupload.php on line 30 – Ahmar Safi Jan 20 '21 at 08:55

You didn't choose path where to move your file, must be like

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["users"]["tmp_name"],"Your path". $_FILES["users"]["name"])
