I’ve done your standard checks (is the directory there, are lax enough permissions set), and I’m pretty sure I’ve covered your standard stupid human tricks. Here’s the code that’s failing:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image1']['tmp_name'], "/public_html/flashsale/assets/img/products/T".$_FILES['image1']['name']);
The directory is there – I copied the path from FileZilla. I even set the permissions to 777, both in FileZilla and in the file manager on the HostGator control panel. This code generates two warnings:
Message: move_uploaded_file(/public_html/flashsale/assets/img/products/Tsirloin.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Message: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move ‘/tmp/phpI5GZ3S’ to ‘/public_html/flashsale/assets/img/products/Tsirloin.jpg’
In that order. So, the file is being uploaded, the directory exists and is set to 777, what else could I be missing?

Answer
you do not need to put the full directory to the file. try to remove /public_html/flashsale/
from your link and see if that will work.
In addition, the file does not need to have 777 permission, I myself upload files to folders with 755 permissions.
also, you can use getcwd();
in the directory your aiming to. the function will give you the directory that you need to use for moving your file. source
