PHP file not found after moving it

I have a script that moves the file and then tries to get the file to generate a thumbnail. However, it always says that the file doesn't exist. If I try file_exists() on the file after script execution, it seems to find it.



Pieces of my code:



// Move file, returns a path e.g. "homesambampublic_htmlsastoragefilesrxugn7OXoHNRY4J.mp4"
// This also sets file permissions to 0755
$source = $fs->move_from_tmp($filename);

// clear cache
clearstatcache(true);

// Now file_exists returns false
if(file_exists($source)){
// generate thumbnail;
}


Move_from_tmp:



public function move_from_tmp($filename){
// $this->tmp_folder = /home/sambam/public_html/ss/storage/tmp
// this->folder = /home/sambam/public_html/ss/storage/files/0

if(!is_readable($this->tmp_folder.self::DS.$filename)){ chmod($this->tmp_folder.self::DS.$filename, 0755); }
$ext = strtolower(pathinfo(basename($filename), PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
$new_filename = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME);


// Move file
if(rename($this->tmp_folder.self::DS.$filename, $this->folder.self::DS.$new_filename.".".$ext)){
return $this->folder.self::DS.$new_filename.".".$ext;
}else{
return false;
}
}


This works on my local machine which is Windows but doesn't seem to work on my production machine which is Linux CentOs.



What I have also tried:




  • Checked if the path has any leading/prefixed space

  • File permissions

  • The file is readable/writable

  • And if the file exists which it does

  • Are you sure that the path returned from the move function is right?! Copy it and try to access it on terminal (ls /the/path/it/returned.mp4)

  • Where is move_from_tmp from - is it your own code or a library?
