a case of the missing cipher...or three ;-)
looks odd around these two lines:
> $target_path = "../slices/";
> $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadFile']['name']);
first you set it to "../slices/";
then you overwrite that with the basename...
maybe you want '.=' rather than just '='
