Cannot interact with uploaded images from my website - php

Question

When uploading images from my website into the designated folder I can see the file in the directory, but cannot open the files nor display them on the webpage.
EDIT This is an issue with my permissions, when trying to open the file in various programs I am receiving permission denied errors.
include('header.php');
$message = "";
$user_id=$_SESSION['user']['user_id'];
$images = getImageCount($user_id);
if(!isset($_SESSION['user']))
{
$_SESSION['message'] = "You must be logged in to manage your images";
header("Location:login.php");
}else if($_SESSION['user']['type'] == INCOMPLETE_USER)
{
$_SESSION['message'] = "You must create a profile to upload images";
header("Location:create_profile.php");
}else if($_SESSION['user']['type'] == DISABLED_CLIENT)
{
$_SESSION['message'] = "Your profile has been disabled";
header("Location:login.php");
}else if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{
print_r($_FILES);
$user_folder="./profiles/". $user_id;
echo "test";
$file=$_FILES['uploadfile'];
//go to the profile table an SELEECT images FROM profiles WHERE user_id =
if ($images <= MAXIMUM_IMAGES)
{
if ($file['error']!=0)
{
$_SESSION['message']= "Upload Failed!";
}
else if ($_FILES['uploadfile']['type'] != "image/pjpeg" && $_FILES['uploadfile']['type'] != "image/jpeg")
{
$message = "Error! image file must be a'". DEFAULT_FILE_TYPE."'";
}
else if ($file['size'] > MAX_FILE_SIZE)
{
$message = "Error! File must be smaller than '".MAX_FILE_SIZE."' bytes";
}
else
{
$directory = "./profiles/".$user_id;
echo $directory;
//echo $user_folder;
if (!is_dir("profiles/".$user_id))
{
mkdir("profiles/".$user_id, intval( 0777, 8 ), true);
echo 2;
}
$temp_name=$file["tmp_name"];
$new_count = $images + 1;
$file_name=$user_id."_".$new_count;
echo $file_name;
$full_file_name ="profiles/".$user_id."/".$file_name. ".jpg";
move_uploaded_file($temp_name ,$full_file_name);
pg_execute($conn,"update_images",array ($new_count,$_SESSION['user']['user_id']));
}
}
else
{
$message = "Error! no more than " .MAXIMUM_IMAGES . "picture can be uploaded";
}
}
else if (!empty($_POST['submit_changes']))
{
echo "Fail";
$images= $_SESSION['profile']['images'];
}

<form id="uploadform" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">

<strong>Select image for upload: </strong>
<input name="uploadfile" type="file" id="uploadfile" />

<img src="profiles/sault/saultl_4.jpg" alt = "Sault"/>
</form>

I think you did not set the right permission to the folder, just try it in this way:
if (!is_dir("profiles/".$user_id))
{
mkdir("profiles/".$user_id, intval( 0777, 8 ), true);
}
If this do not work we would need some more detailed information in order to help you!
