Loïc Février, thank you, you've saved me a lot of time!

Here is my part... printing possible errors during upload.

First create directory Uploader/UploadedFiles Then use code below...

$destination=$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]."/Uploader/UploadedFiles/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],  $destination)){
   echo ("Stored in".$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]."/Uploader/UploadedFiles/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]);
}else{
   $html_body = '
File upload error!
';
   switch ($_FILES[0]['error']) {
   case 1:
      $html_body .= 'The file is bigger than this PHP installation allows';
      break;
   case 2:
      $html_body .= 'The file is bigger than this form allows';
      break;
   case 3:
      $html_body .= 'Only part of the file was uploaded';
      break;
   case 4:
      $html_body .= 'No file was uploaded';
      break;
   default:
      $html_body .= 'unknown errror';
   } 
   echo ($html_body);
}
