fopen(uploadedimages/): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

Question

I'm following a tutorial to upload a picture from android to server and i'm using php on server side and this is the code:

<?php
    error_get_last();
    chmod("./uploadedimages/", 777);
    // Get image string posted from Android App
    $base=$_REQUEST['image'];
    // Get file name posted from Android App
    $filename = $_REQUEST['filename'];
    // Decode Image
    $binary=base64_decode($base);
    header('Content-Type: bitmap; charset=utf-8');
    // Images will be saved under 'www/imgupload/uplodedimages' folder
    $file = fopen('uploadedimages/'.$filename, 'wb');
    // Create File
    fwrite($file, $binary);
    fclose($file);
    echo 'Image upload complete, Please check your php file directory';
?>

When i try to run, it shows me the following errors:

fopen(uploadedimages/): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in...

fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in... fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in...

I'm very new to php so please help me ( I've found some answers from the internet but it didn't work for me)

Answer 1

You need to give full path of the file in fopen()

$file = fopen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/uploadedimages/'.$filename, 'wb');

Also make sure you have the right permissions to create a file in your server.

And since the file is not getting created in the first place, you are getting errors when you are trying to use fwrite() and fclose()
