I am using the following code to upload files on my Amazon EC2 instance. The file upload does not work. I don't get any error even after error_reporting(E_ALL); no notices or warnings come up. I used the same code on different server (ipage) and the code works. I tried it on another bitnami instance on different amazon and it does not work on that as well. I am guessing the problem is permissions to write file on the instances. I thus ask for help on either how to change the permissions or hinting some possibilities of error that might be in the code.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
{
$pic = $_FILES['pic']['name'];
$pic_loc = $_FILES['pic']['tmp_name'];
$folder="uploaded_files/";
if(move_uploaded_file($pic_loc,$folder.$pic))
{
?><script>alert('successfully uploaded');</script><?php
}
else
{
?><script>alert('error while uploading file');</script><?php
}
}
?>
