Every LAMP server I've worked on doesn't have write file permission to do
the move. PHP always seems to run as 'other' and to allow wriet permssions
on 'other' would not seem to be a good thing. The way I have been able to
do it is by incorporating PHP FTP functions and moving the file with them.

Here's how I debug by putting this at the top of the file posted to right
after the opening php tag:
var_dump($_FILES);
and see what's happening.
Most likely its permissions though
