Two things are going wrong here:
- Use of copy() instead of move_uploaded_file() (see manual);
- Use of single quotes, causing the string '$value' to be parsed as a
literal.

Correct usage:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$value]['tmp_name'],
"/targetdir/{$_FILES[$value]['name']}");

*or*

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["$value"]['tmp_name'],
"/targetdir/{$_FILES["$value"]['name']}");

Mind that /targetdir/ must be writeable for the www user (e.g., by chmodding
it to 777).
