The

Move_uploaded_file()

funcition not working after upgrading to php 7.4. The upload works perfectly fine in 7.3 version. The error message I am getting is "

Quote:
PHP Warning: File upload error - unable to create a temporary file in Unknown on line 0

. It doesn't seems to be a permission issue since it works in 7.3 version. Please help me solve this issue. I have added my code below.

What I have tried:

   //print_r($_REQUEST);
 $name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
 $target_dir = "uploads/";
 $target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES['file']['name']);
// $makeId=$_REQUEST['makeId'];
 // Select file type
 $imageFileType = strtolower(pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION));

 // Valid file extensions
 $extensions_arr = array("jpg","jpeg","png","gif");

 // Check extension
 if( in_array($imageFileType,$extensions_arr) ){
     echo "entered";
    // Upload file
    //move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$target_dir.$name);
    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$target_dir.$name)){
       // Insert record

This might be an issue instead with PHP creating a temporary file on your file system when the file is uploaded. PHP would normally consume the upload and store it as a temporary file somewhere so it can be accessed (via the 'tmp_name' property). Have you tried checking the $_FILES['file']['error'] property to see if it contains more information?

I am getting error number 6. "UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR" Value: 6; Missing a temporary folder.

The message is most likely telling you that one of the paths $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] or $target_dir.$name is not valid.

Problem solved I added the full path for the temporary upload directory

upload_tmp_dir = "C:\inetpub\vhosts\tronsquared.com\tmp"

and it worked. Thank you for all who helped.

It might have been nice to accept my solution given that this is exactly what I told you to do, I don't see why this needed to be posted as a separate solution?

I just wanted to show what I did exactly that is all. You have helped me a lot by saving time.

According to your error your PHP configuration file may have been changed which has affected the temporary directory where files would be placed when they're uploaded. You can look at the following SO post for advice on how to fix this:

linux - I keep getting UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR while uploading file using PHP - Stack Overflow[^]

If you have your old PHP installation still available, consider cross-checking the configurations in the old php.ini file with the one in your new installation.
