its showing some warning message...like

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/upload/1-p1.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\webs\photo.php on line 36

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'C:\WINDOWS\php157.tmp' to '/upload/1-p1.jpg' in C:\webs\photo.php on line 36

Check if you have a path for the temp directory in upload_tmp_dir in php.ini , you have all the permissions for that folder. Your code seems ok to me. But, in this part, it will check if the file already exists. If it does, then you are overwriting the original file and then displaying the message 'file already exists'. :S

if (file_exists("/upload/" . $_FILES["description"]["name"]))
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["description"]["tmp_name"], "/upload/" . $_FILES["description"]["name"]);
echo "Your description has been uploaded: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["description"]["name"];
echo $_FILES["description"]["name"] . "already exists.";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["description"]["tmp_name"], "/upload/" . $_FILES["description"]["name"]);
echo "Your description has been uploaded: " . "/upload/" . $_FILES["description"]["name"];
}

The code is working in localhost but in the web server it is not working while hosting the file its not moving to the specified folder in to the server.All the message is coming like image already move to the folder but its not storing to the folder...

Open your php.ini file and look for "File Uploads". Check upload_tmp_dir path. If there isn't any, specify the path. Restart web server and try again !
