Can't Upload image using using php

Question

I can not upload image. And i am using lampp server in ubuntu. It shows some errors that i can not figure out..

if (isset($_POST["submit"]))
 {
    $fileType = $_FILES["file"]["type"];

    if (($fileType == "image/gif") ||
            ($fileType == "image/jpeg") ||
            ($fileType == "image/jpg") ||
            ($fileType == "image/png")) {
        //Check if file exists
        if (file_exists("Images/Coffee/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
            echo "File already exists";
        } else {
            move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "Images/Coffee/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
            echo "Uploaded in " . "Images/Coffee/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
        }
    } }

And my errors are

Warning: move_uploaded_file(Images/Coffee/costa.png): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /opt/lampp/htdocs/newphp/uplaodimage.php on line 23

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/opt/lampp/temp/phpE2uIod' to 'Images/Coffee/costa.png' in /opt/lampp/htdocs/newphp/uplaodimage.php on line 23 Uploaded in Images/Coffee/costa.png

its clear in warning message. you need to give write permission in your uploaded path — Md. Sahadat Hossain

You have not write permission in your directory where you store file so you have first give the write permission to your directory where you want to upload your file Like in Ubuntu:

chmod -R 777 /path..
