在虚拟主机上运行的 PHP 不会为图像创建目录

Question

This is my httpd-vhost.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/php-crash-course-2020/14_product_crud/03_good/public"
    ServerName products.test
    <Directory "/opt/lampp/htdocs/php-crash-course-2020/14_product_crud/03_good/public">
    Options All
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
    RewriteEngine On
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f  
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
    </Directory> 
</VirtualHost>

I have given all privileges to this folder with

sudo chown -R $USER /opt/lampp/htdocs/

Everything works fine if there is already an images folder inside the public folder but when I want to create a new product (image, title, description, price) it creates a product in the database with the correct image path but it does not create an images folder.

This is code for creating an images folder inside the public folder

if (!is_dir(__DIR__ . '/../public/images')) {
    mkdir(__DIR__ . '/../public/images');
}

This is code for moving an image file inside the images folder

if ($this->imageFile && $this->imageFile['tmp_name']) {

    if ($this->imagePath) {

        unlink(__DIR__ . '/../public/' . $this->imagePath);
    }
    $this->imagePath = 'images/' . UtilHelper::randomString(8) . '/' . $this->imageFile['name'];

    mkdir(dirname(__DIR__ . '/../public/' . $this->imagePath));
    move_uploaded_file($this->imageFile['tmp_name'], __DIR__ . '/../public/' . $this->imagePath);
}

If I already have the images folder and there is the image for a certain product, the image can be loaded on the website and I can delete that product but when I delete it, the image inside the images folder is not deleted but it should be.

The application works when I run it on a PHP server as

php -S localhost:8080

Answer 1

Inside httpd.conf User is daemon and Group is daemon. Without editing httpd.conf file I ran this command.

chown -R $USER:daemon /opt/lampp/htdocs/

It solved the problem.
