Hi, I am new to PHP and javaScript, recently I move my site from localhost to a hosting site and the function move_upload_files stop working. My code is following:

PHP

<?php
include("includes/includedFiles.php");
?>

<form  method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Elige la cancion : <input type="file" name="files" >


<input type="submit" name="s" value="cargar" class="button">
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_FILES['file'])){
    $fileName=$_FILES['file']['name'];
    $fileName_temp=$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
    $upload="public_html/assests/music";
    $movefile= move_uploaded_file ($fileName_temp,$upload . $fileName);
    header("Location: https://ripleffect.net/uploadSong2.php?");
}
?>

When I try to upload a file, even a small file of a few kb instead of uploading it to the site and moving to the next page is stays there, I check the console and doesnt show me any error. My hosting site is hostgator.

Thanks in advance!

What I have tried:

I try to change $upload="public_html/assests/music"; to different things but nothing work, I try to change the name of the files and different kind of files and none of them worked

Several questions on the back of this code:

1. The $upload points to "public_html/.." but should this not be "/public_html/.." as this would normally be the root directory?
2. The $upload also points to "../assests/" which I would assume is meant to be called "assets" instead, are the directory namings correct?
3. The $upload ends with "../music" and then you're appending the filename to this. This would then try and create a file called "/public_html/assests/music<filename>", should the $upload not end with a "/" to indicate that it's a directory?
4. Have you checked the CHMOD permissions on the "assests" and "music" directories to make sure they have the necessary rights to be written to? Something like 0666 should provide read/write access to that directory.

1. I honestly dont know, I am new to php, and it might be wrong and it should be as you said
2. that is the actual name: assests , when I creted the folder I didnt realize that was misspeled
3. I don't know honestly, maybe?
4. and the music folder have 0755 permisions

Perhaps it might be worth trying to change the "public_html/" to "/public_html/" and also add a "/" onto the end of the $upload variable. I would think this should resolve your problem. You could also look at using the error_get_last() function to get information on what might have happened?
