Can't upload file using XAMPP

Question

I have to create a CMS for a webstore for a webscript unit i'm taking. I have to upload a photo of the product but i keep getting and error when i try to upload. I search it a lot and tried a lot of things, i changed the folder to read & write, i did the 'chmod -R 777...', nothing. I'm starting to think the problem is with my code. I appreciate all help, thanks!

I always this error: Warning: File upload error - unable to create a temporary file in Unknown on line 0

<?php

    $dbhost = '127.0.0.1';
    $dbuser = 'root';
    $dbpass = '';
    $dbname = 'ezcart';

    $conn = new mysqli($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname);

    if ($conn->connect_error) {

        die("Could not connect to the database: " . $conn->connect_error);

    }

    $name = $_FILES['photo']['name'];
    $size = $_FILES['photo']['size'];
    $type = $_FILES['photo']['type'];
    $tmp_name = $_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'];

    if (isset($name)) {

        if(($type == 'image/jpeg' || $type == 'image/jpg' || $type = 'image/png') && ($size <= 3145728)) {

            $path = 'prod_photos/';

            if (move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $path.$name)) {

                $sql = "INSERT INTO product (prodCat, prodDes, prodNam, prodPho, prodPri, prodSto, prodSup) VALUES ('$_POST[prodCat]', '$_POST[prodDes]', '$_POST[prodNam]', '$name', '$_POST[prodPri]', '$_POST[prodSto]', '$_POST[prodSup]')";

                if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {

                    echo '<span>Product added sucessfully.</span>';

                }

            }

        }

        else {

            echo '<span>Please choose a valid photo.</span>';

        }

    }

    $conn->close();

?>

What about your form, does it contain a POST method and a valid enctype? — Funk Forty Niner

Check to see what your upload max settings are and that your tmp folder isn't full. Plus, Google your error message. Too many reasons why it could fail. — Funk Forty Niner

Are you on Windows or UNIX? See also chown php.net/manual/en/function.chown.php — Funk Forty Niner

You should check your php.ini and look for the 'upload_tmp_dir' option.

After that, check the permission of your tmp dir, and try to chmod it again.

If you want to know what upload_tmp_dir your server is using, you can simply use this:

die(ini_get('upload_tmp_dir') ? ini_get('upload_tmp_dir') : sys_get_temp_dir());
