check your upload path

$uploadDir = '../images/';

Try to use this path './images/' or best use absolute path.

Not working with me, but how to use the absolute path

gms Over a year ago

The file in which my site is "/website/" and the file in which the PHP files upload the image in "/website/uploadfiles/ "and want to upload in "/website/images" I have used this code and succeeded the process ( $uploadDir = '../../website/images/';)

you can try FILE it will return a absolute path of the current file.

check your script location by using

var_dump(__DIR__)

this will show you where is your .php file is ( also called as absolute path ). Thus simply you can see where you made a mistake to assign a folder for file uploading(image in your case ).
