PHP function move_uploaded_file — Moves an uploaded file to a new location. This function checks to ensure that the file designated by filename is a valid upload file (meaning that it was uploaded via PHP's HTTP POST upload mechanism). If the file is valid, it will be moved to the filename given by destination .
This sort of check is especially important if there is any chance that anything done with uploaded files could reveal their contents to the user, or even to other users on the same system. This function returns TRUE on success, or FALSE on failure.
Syntax
move_uploaded_file(file,newloc);
Parameter Description
file Required. Specifies the file to be moved
newloc Required. Specifies the new location for the file

if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];//Temp name from file
$name = preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9_\-\.]/i', '_', $_FILES["file"]["name"][$key];// Remove special characters from file name to store in datbaes and dir
