Answer 1

Make Sure that your /project/.$storagename has 777 permission. It seems like your destination folder does not have any permission. Another thing after looking into your code i cant understand what actually you are trying to do. Are you trying to save a file into a excel file?

Because $storagename = 'discussdesk.xlsx' {It is the destination}

and you are trying to store a whole file into this file??
