Answer 1

I think you are missing something like this:

  move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
  "../img/profiles/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
  echo "Stored in: " . "../img/profiles/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];

Answer 2

Can u try it?

$path = $_FILES['file']['name'];
if (file_exists($path)) {
    echo 'File already exists!';
} else {
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $path);
}

Answer 3

use move_uploaded_file(file,location)

you need to change your file field name to file instead photo

<input type="file" name="file" size="25" />

if don't change than use code like below to upload it.

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["photo"]["tmp_name"], "location/to/save/photo/with/extension");

Answer 4

<input type="file" name="photo" size="25" />

should be like

<input type="file" name="file" size="25" />

because you are looking for $_FILES["file"] not $_FILES["photo"];

make change to either your input name or the $_FILE[] as you wish.
