Could not open local file, but the file is there - php

Question

I have a php artisan command that I created, and executed as bheng user
php /home/forge/site.com/artisan products:exportdiff --env=production
that export the file into my /files/product-exports/ directory
Also, I've already did
chmod -R 777 files/product-exports/
Result
The export part is working fine, I got the file exported as you can see in the image below
But I kept getting this
What is the different between white and green color code ?
Why does it place under the dot . ? Does it mean anything at all ?
Is this something that have to do with the permission ?
Update
As requested from #Tensibai
cd /home/forge/site.com/ && pwd && php /home/forge/site.com/artisan products:exportdiff --env=production
/home/forge/site.com
.
Export created successfully. Export ID is 1085
Source: /home/forge/site/files/product-exports/export1085_2016-11-23.csv
Destination: /Site/inbound/products/productexport1085_2016-11-23.csv
$source NOT exist !
[Exception]
Could not open local file: /home/forge/site/files/product-exports/export1085_2016-11-23.csv.
products:exportdiff
Update2
$source = /home/forge/site/files/product-exports/export1088_2016-11-23.csv
I've tried dd(file_exists($source));
It kept return bool(false)
Is it because of the way I check for file_exists ?

Answer 1

What is the different between white and green color code ?
green is for files executable (+x), due to your previous chmod 777
Why does it place under the dot . ?
I assume you did a ls -altr wich sort the entries by modification time in ascending order, each time a file is created, the directory inode is modified, so it's listed just before your file (directory modified at file creation, file modified when all text has been written)
Does it mean anything at all ?
Well, generally speaking yes, for your error in particular, we have no clue from wich directory you're starting from, if it writes relative to where you are, it's normal you don't find the files.
Try ls /home/forge/biossantibodies.com/files/product-exports/and if you get an error, cd /home/forge/biossantibodies.com/ and rerun your php command.

Answer 2

Executable files: Green
Directory: Blue
Image files(jpg, gif, bmp, png, tif): Magenta
Symbolic links: Cyan
Pipe: Yellow
Socket: Magenta
Orphaned symbolic links: Blinking Bold white with red
background
Block device driver: Bold yellow foreground, with black
background
Missing links along with files they point to: Blinking Bold white
with red background
Archives or compressed files(like tar,gz,zip,rpm): Red
The directory has a link to itself in the . entry
Each of its sub-directories has a link back via ..
So it doesn't seem anything special with the file permission please check the way you are accessing the file or share code.
