Yii will not move_uploaded_file - 500 internal server error - php

Question

I'm using the blueimp File Upload Plugin with Yii to try and upload a file to my server (currently localhost). I gave the folder full read / write permissions (the location is C:\xampp\htdocs\yii), but I still get an error when I try to do the move_uploaded file command.
Here is the main form and input file area:
<form id='upload' method='post' action='?r=site/move' enctype='multipart/form-data' style="padding:0;">
<span class="btn fileinput-button" style="padding:0">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-picture">
<input id="fileupload" type="file" accept="image/*" name="attachment" onchange="attachAttachment()">
</i>
</span>
</form>
Here is blueimp's fileupload (in function()):
$("#fileupload").fileupload
({
dataType: 'json',
done: function (e, data)
{
console.log("YAY");
},
fail: function(e, data)
{
console.log("FAIL");
}
});
Here is the actionMove, where I move the file from the temp directory to the folder:
public function actionMove()
{
if (isset($_FILES['attachment']) && $_FILES['attachment']['error'] == 0)
{
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['attachment'], Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot')."/images/uploads")){
$response = '{"status":"success"}';
}
else {
$response = '{"status":"error"}';
}
echo $response;
exit();
}
}
I have been at this for hours now, any help is appreciated :(

$_FILES['attachment'] references all data about the download. move_uploaded_file uses filenames to work. Here is what you should try:
$uploadPath = Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot')."/images/uploads";
$uploadFilename = basename($_FILES['attachment']['name']);
$tempFilename = $_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name'];
$ok = move_uploaded_file($tempFilename, $uploadPath.'/'.$uploadFilename);
if ($ok) {
$response = '{"status":"success"}';
} else {
$response = '{"status":"error"}';
}
More on this on the documentation pages:

and

Hope it helps.
