php files upload (image and flash files) issue - php

Question

As I am working on a file uploading task I have used jQuery and php for uploading files to server for reducing the number of http requests. From the admin control panel everything is fine except the file uploading. The file uploading is working properly in localhost but when I am working on this in the live server environment the files are not getting uploaded. Ihave changed the file permissions to 0777.
The strange thing permissions are automatically changed to 755 after you set it to 777 or after you upload the game.
Actually the process is:
- I am storing both the files i.e, image and .swf file in one directory
- The directory gets created with its database table id
- The game file and game image are not getting uploaded in that corresponding directory
For example, the game id 342 gets created with a directory name called 342 but image and swf file are not getting uploaded in that directory. For every game the corresponding directory gets created with the game id.
My code:
file name : uploadify.php
if (!empty($_FILES)) {
$tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $_REQUEST['folder'] . '/';
$targetFile = str_replace('//','/',$targetPath) . $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
$fileTypes = str_replace('*.','',$_REQUEST['fileext']);
$fileTypes = str_replace(';','|',$fileTypes);
$typesArray = split('\|',$fileTypes);
$fileParts = pathinfo($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
mkdir(str_replace('//','/',$targetPath), 0755, true);
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
chmod($targetFile,0777);
echo "1";
}
jQuery file : js.js
$('#fileinput').uploadify({
'uploader' : 'uploader/uploadify.swf',
'script' : 'uploader/uploadify.php',
'cancelImg' : 'uploader/cancel.png',
'auto' : true,
'folder' : "../../../games/"+$("#newgameid").val()+"/",
'onComplete' : function(event,queueID,fileObj){
$("#flashfileupload").html("file<strong>: "+ fileObj.name + " ("+ Math.round(fileObj.size/1000) + " kb)</strong> has been uploaded successfully!");
$("#size").val(Math.round(fileObj.size/1000));
$("#filename").val(fileObj.name);
$("#submitgame").removeAttr("disabled");
},
'onOpen' : function(event,queueID,fileObj){
if(fileObj.name.indexOf(".swf")==-1){
alert('Error Input - Flash game must SWF File!')
$('#fileinput').uploadifyClearQueue();
}
}
});
$('#thumnail').uploadify({
'uploader' : 'uploader/uploadify.swf',
'script' : 'uploader/uploadify.php',
'cancelImg' : 'uploader/cancel.png',
'auto' : true,
'folder' : "../../../games/"+$("#newgameid").val()+"/",
'onComplete' : function(event,queueID,fileObj){
$("#thumnailfileupload").html("file<strong>: "+ fileObj.name + " ("+ Math.round(fileObj.size/1000) + " kb)</strong> has been uploaded successfully!");
$("#thumbnail").val(fileObj.name);
}
});
Please help me in this regard. Thanks for your time on reading this issue. Any suggestions are accepted.

Your mkdir() function call is setting the permissions to 0755:
mkdir(str_replace('//','/',$targetPath), 0755, true);
Try setting it to 777:
mkdir(str_replace('//','/',$targetPath), 0777, true);
