Image Uploading from android application to Server is not working - php

Question

I'm developing an android app which requires to upload the image taken with camera to the server. I used a tutorial for this and imported the project
from this link, refer this for android code
My PHP file which is indicating success of the image and returning me the URL but the image is not found on the server. I am not able to troubleshoot this problem.
My PHP file code is:
<?php
// Path to move uploaded files
$target_path = "Upload_image_ANDROID/";
// array for final json respone
$response = array();
// getting server ip address
$server_ip = '216.86.147.200';
// final file url that is being uploaded
$file_upload_url = 'http://' . $server_ip . '/' . 'sss_api' . '/' . $target_path;
if (isset($_FILES['image']['name'])) {
$target_path = $target_path . basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
// reading other post parameters
// $email = isset($_POST['email']) ? $_POST['email'] : '';
//$website = isset($_POST['website']) ? $_POST['website'] : '';
$response['file_name'] = basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
//$response['email'] = $email;
//$response['website'] = $website;
try {
// Throws exception incase file is not being moved
if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
// make error flag true
$response['error'] = true;
$response['message'] = 'Could not move the file!';
}
// File successfully uploaded
$response['message'] = 'File uploaded successfully!';
$response['error'] = false;
$response['file_path'] = $file_upload_url . basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Exception occurred. Make error flag true
$response['error'] = true;
$response['message'] = $e->getMessage();
}
} else {
// File parameter is missing
$response['error'] = true;
$response['message'] = 'Not received any file!F';
}
// Echo final json response to client
echo json_encode($response);
?>

If you follow the tutorial to the end and your Android App is working as expected on your device, the problem is more on the server side due to permission, your server doesn't allow you to save the file.
Try to set the location to a folder where your application will have permission to write to or change htaccess you can get more info on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html
