File is not being uploaded from front end

Question

I am trying to upload a file from frontend. as bellow,

.phtml file

<label for="sb_link">Image</label>
<input type="file" id="bs_image" name="bs_image" required="true"/>

and in my controller I am doing

      if (isset($_FILES['bs_image']['name']) && $_FILES['bs_image']['name'] != '') {
                $path = Mage::getBaseDir() . '/test';
                if (!file_exists($path)) {
                    mkdir($path, 777, true);
                } try {

                    $fname = $_FILES['bs_image']['name'];
//                 $fname = $this->getRequest()->getParam('bs_image');
                    $uploader = new Varien_File_Uploader('bs_image');
                    $uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('png', 'gif', 'jpeg', 'docx'));
                    $uploader->setAllowCreateFolders(true);
                    $uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(false);
                    $uploader->setFilesDispersion(false);
                    $uploader->save($path, $fname);
                } catch (Exception $e) {
                    echo 'Error Message: ' . $e->getMessage();
                }
            }

folder is present, and getting no error/exception, but file is not in folder. or there is an other way to do it. I was following Owais Kiani's post

Answer 1

replace $path = Mage::getBaseDir() . '/test'; with $path = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'test/';

Also clear ur cache. and check the folder permission is 777
