PHP upload file not working right - php

Question

I have this script that is uploading file to directory and form data to database. But some how the file is not uploading and says the
variable '$filedestination' is undefined.
if(!isset($error)){
try{
if(isset($_FILES['cv'])){
$file = $_FILES['cv'];
$file_name = $file['name'];
$file_tmp = $file['tmp_name'];
$file_size = $file['size'];
$file_error = $file['error'];
$file_ext = explode('.', $file_name);
$file_ext = strtolower(end($file_ext));
$allowed = array('pdf', 'doc');
$cl_name = e($_POST['cl_name']);
if(in_array($file_ext, $allowed)){
if($file_error === 0){
$new_file_name = 'cv-'.$cl_name.'-'.$file_ext;
$file_destination = 'cv/' . $new_file_name;
if(move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, $file_destination)){
} else{
$error[] = 'No se podido subir el c.v.';
}
}else{
$error[] = 'Problema';
}
}
}
$handler = $db->prepare('INSERT INTO work_with_us (work_area, cl_name, cl_last_name, cl_dir, cl_city, cl_provincia, cl_tel, cl_email, work_comentario, is_cv, cv_url) VALUES (:work_area, :cl_name, :cl_last_name, :cl_dir, :cl_city, :cl_provincia, :cl_tel, :cl_email, :work_com, :is_cv, :cv_url)');
$handler->execute(array(
':work_area' => e($_POST['work_area']),
':cl_name' => e($_POST['cl_name']),
':cl_last_name' => e($_POST['cl_last_name']),
':cl_dir' => e($_POST['cl_dir']),
':cl_city' => e($_POST['cl_city']),
':cl_provincia' => e($_POST['cl_provincia']),
':cl_tel' => (int)$_POST['cl_tel'],
':cl_email' => e($_POST['cl_email']),
':work_com' => e($_POST['work_comentario']),
':is_cv' => 'Si',
':cv_url' => $file_destination
));
}catch(PDOException $e){
$error[] = $e->getMessage();
}
}
Thing is i have the same script used, in other file and for uploading pictures and it works fine but this one for .pdf and .doc its somehow not working.

Answer 1

You are only allowing pdf and doc :
$allowed = array('pdf', 'doc');
So png is not allowed. As for the word file, make sure you are uploading a .doc file and not a .docx since it will not be allowed. You can add a list of allowed extensions that covers all Microsoft word extensions.
As for Microsoft extensions, check this link.

Answer 2

just define your $filedestination variable globally means out of if block. Your Code is OK.
Give R/W permission to the folder in which you want to move/upload your file.
Actually due to R/W permission your file is not moving try Chmod command for giving R/W permission ; if you are working on linux.

Answer 3

Kindly check if there is any content in $error or check $error variable value...
my another suggestion is rather than to check $file['error'],
check (getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]!==false)

Answer 4

Please make sure that a folder named 'cv' exists in your localserver.
And, I just noticed in your code:
$new_file_name = 'cv-'.$cl_name.'-'.$file_ext;
You will have an output like this: myfile-doc
When it is supposed to be: myfile.doc
So, I suppose it should be:
$new_file_name = 'cv-'.$cl_name.'.'.$file_ext;
I do not know if this could help you but I just notice it.
