Unable to Upload file in PHP

Question

Hi all I am trying to upload file in php. But it is not uploading the file

Here is the code

$excel = new PhpExcelReader;
if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
    $target_dir="../upload/";
    $target_path=$target_dir.basename($_FILES['fileToUpload']['name']);     

    //move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileToUpload']['name'],$target_path);
    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileToUpload']['name'],$target_path))
    {
        echo basename($_FILES['fileToUpload']['name']);
    }
    else
    {
        echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
    }
        print_r($_FILES);
    /* $handle = realpath($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
    $excel = new PhpExcelReader;
    $excel->read($handle);
    echo $handle; */

}

This code always throw me in else condition.In my html form I also added enctype="multipart/form-data" and also check $_FILES array in my $_FILES array I am getting this

Array ( [fileToUpload] => Array ( [name] => Copy of Book1.xlsx [type] => application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet [tmp_name] => H:\PHP\xampp\tmp\phpF54F.tmp [error] => 0 [size] => 13459 ) )

In your if condition change it to move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileToUpload']['tmp_name'],$target_path)

while uploading file on server it first store in temp location and move_uploaded_file function get file from temp location and upload in given destination location.

try this.

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileToUpload']['tmp_name'],$target_path))
{
    echo basename($_FILES['fileToUpload']['name']);
} else {
    echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}
