Photo Gallery: Adding Photos - php

Question

Ok so I’m working on a photo gallery project and I’m trying to add a photo. I have a page that allows the user to browse for a picture and another input field for adding a title for their picture. The added picture path and title should be added to a xml file where the images are being pulled from.
Also if it helps, I'm using Materialize css. I’m not sure why it’s not working but this is what I currently have:
Form
<form action="../models/addPicture.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="row center">
<h5>Choose a Photo to Upload</h5>
</div>
<div class="file-field input-field">
<div class="btn-large black">
<span>Browse</span>
<input type="file" />
</div>
<div class="file-path-wrapper">
<input class="file-path validate" type="text" placeholder="Upload file" name="picFile" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="input-field">
<input type="text" name="picTitle" class="validate" placeholder="Enter a title for your picture.">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row center">
<button class="btn-large black" type="submit">Add Pic!</button>
</div>
Method:
<?php
if (($_FILES['picFile']['name']!="")){
$target_dir = "../images/";
$file = $_FILES['picFile']['name'];
$path = pathinfo($file);
$filename = $path['basename'];
$ext = $path['extension'];
$temp_name = $_FILES['picFile']['temp_name'];
$path_filename_ext = $target_dir.$filename.".".$ext;
if (file_exists($path_filename_ext))
{
$message = "Added Picture Failed please try again.";
$color = "red-text";
header("Location: ../index.php?Message=".$message."&color=".$color);
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($temp_name,$path_filename_ext);
$message = "Added Picture Successfully. Please Click Reset to View.";
$color = "green-text";
header("Location: ../index.php?Message=".$message."&color=".$color);
}
}
else
{
$message = "Please enter a picture to submit.";
$color = "red-text";
header("Location: ../index.php?Message=".$message."&color=".$color);
}
?>

I have found a small mistake in your code at line no. 9.
$temp_name = $_FILES['picFile']['temp_name'];
Change the ['temp_name]; to ['tmp_name];
Use this code.
$temp_name = $_FILES['picFile']['tmp_name'];
