It isn't clear to me why you are going to www.w3schools.com for PHP
documentation when the official PHP site is www.php.net.
If you go to this page:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php
there are two strong hints about what might be going wrong. The second one
is pasted in below. This may or may not solve your problem; but in any case
the URL above should be your starting point IMHO.

-------------
when you get this 2 Warnings - paths are a real sample - ::
-
move_uploaded_file(/uploads/images/sample.png)
[function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in /scripts/php/system/upload-file.php on line X
-
and
-
move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move
'/tmp/somefilename' to '/uploads/images/sample.png' in
/scripts/php/system/upload-file.php on line X
-
probably the path '/uploads/images/sample.png' is incomplete, in my case the
complet path is "/home/x-user/public_html/uploads/images/sample.png"
you can use getcwd() to know the current working directory.
