can't upload images from website to my database using XAMPP

Question

I am having some trouble uploading images to my blog, every time I try summiting the form it returns 'Failed to upload image :'. I can’t figure out the problem

    if (!empty($_FILES['image']['name'])) {
        $image_name = time() . '_' . $_FILES['image']['name'];
        $destination = ROOT_PATH . "/assets/images/" . $image_name;

       $result = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $destination);

      if ($result) {
            $_POST['image'] = $image_name;
            
        }else {
            array_push($errors, 'Failed to upload image :');
            
        }
        
        
    }else {
        array_push($errors, 'Image is required!');
    }

Thanks for the feedback When using mac insure that the destination folder has read and writing permissions for other users.
