1. Since you are uploading using ajax, you do not need name,action, method and enctype attributes on your HTML form tag. Same applies to name attribute of file input tag.

2. You need to add enctype: 'multipart/form-data', to $.ajax({...});

3. Since you are appending form data with param name file in JS as form_data.append('file', file_data);, you should access it in php as $_FILES['file'] and not $_FILES['fileToUpload']

HTML Code:

JS Code:

       $('#fileToUpload').change(function () {
            var file_data = $('#fileToUpload').prop('files')[0];
            var form_data = new FormData();
            form_data.append('file', file_data);
            $.ajax({
                url: "modules/phone/newvoicemail.php",
                type: "POST",
                data: form_data,
                contentType: false,
                cache: false,
                enctype: 'multipart/form-data',
                processData: false,
                success: function (data) {
                    console.log(data);
                }
            });
        });

PHP Code: newvoicemail.php
