First of all please check that you are using a proper form tag

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

check that you have enctype="multipart/form-data" on form.

in upload_file.php

check that you are really getting the file by doing

var_dump($_FILES)

if yes, then you can use your move_uploaded_file
