*/
class Document
{

 */
public function getId()
{
    return $this->id;
}

/**
 * Set path
 *
 * @param string $path
 */
public function setPath($path)
{
    $this->path = $path;
}

/**

 * @return string 
 */
public function getPath()
{
    return $this->path;

    $this->file =$file;
}


function preUpload()
{
    if(null !== $this->file )
    {
        $this->path = uniqid() . '.' . $this->file->guessExtension();
    }       
}


function upload()
{
    if(null === $this->file)
    { 
        return ;
    }

    $this->file->move( $this->getUploadDir() ,$this->getPath );
    unset($this->file);
}


function removeUpload()
{
    if($file = $this->getAbsolutePath() )
    {
        unlink($file);
    }
}


function getWebPath()
{
    return $this->getUploadDir() . $this->getPath() ;
}


function getUploadDir()
{
    return 'uploads/cv' ; 
}


function getAbsolutePath()
{
    return $this->getRootDir() . $this->getPath() ;
}

function getRootDir()
{
    return __DIR__ . '../../../../src/' .$this->getUploadDir() ;
}



function setName($n)
{
    $this->name =$n ;
}

function getName()
{
    return $this->name ;
}

}

and my controller action

function uploadAction()
{


    $document = new Document();
    $form = $this->createFormBuilder($document)
        ->add('name')
        ->add('file')
        ->getForm();

    $request = $this->getRequest() ;
    if( $request->getMethod() == 'POST' )
    {
        $form->bindRequest($request);
        if($form->isValid() )
        {
            $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager() ;

            $document->upload();
            $em->persist($document);
            $em->flush();

            return
            $this->render('MyUserBundle:Document:upload.html.twig');
        }
    }
            else
            {
             return
             $this->render('MyUserBundle:Document:upload.html.twig' ,array('form'=>$form->createView() );
            }

thanks in advance

I just have the same problem and I forget a '/' just after DIR.' and now it works. Try this : return DIR . '/../../../../src/' .$this->getUploadDir() ; — Benjamin Lucas

I think you created your uploads/cv folder in the wrong path.

It should be project/web/uploads/cv, not project/src/My/UserBundle/Resources/public/images.

Then give Symfony the write permissions to that folder with chmod.

It is possible that I am wrong, but I am not sure you can write in that folder, simply because you don't have write permission there. Maybe some other user could help you more than me.
