Permission denied when executing 'copy' command in a PHP script

In a PHP file upload script which looks like:
$htmlplace="aplace";
if ($_FILES['HtmlFile']['name'] != "")
{
$filenamex = basename($_FILES['HtmlFile']['name']);
copy($_FILES['HtmlFile']['tmp_name'],$htmlplace."/".$filenamex);
}
I am getting the error message:
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: copy(aplace/ahtml.html) [<a href='function.copy'>function.copy</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in <b>/home/directory/anotherdirectory/makecopy2.php</b> on line <b>6</b><br />
This was working perfectly before so I am at a loss as to why it is now failing. Does anybody have any idea what could be happening and what the Permission denied refers to and means ? Thanks !
