$tally_folder_path="/home/torrez/Public/";
$file_type = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['type'];
$allowed = array('text/csv','text/comma-separated-values');
if( ! empty($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']) && in_array($file_type, $allowed))
{
$tally_src_file = $tally_folder_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile'] ['name']);
$name = basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($name, $tally_folder_path);

Answer 1

Include src file path instead of file file path....
$tally_src_file = $tally_folder_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $tally_src_file);

Answer 2

Change name to tmp_name and $_FILES['uploadedfile']
$name = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];

Answer 3

you can try this this might help you
your code is:
$file_type = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['type'];
$allowed = array('text/csv','text/comma-separated-values');
there will be problem with allowed type array
you define it like
$allowed = array('csv','txt','jpg');
Remember to give 777 permission to the folder to which you uploading files.
I think then it will work.
as Its recommended to not use $_FILES['file']['type']
in place of that you can use
$ext = filetype ( string $filename );
it return extension of file.
can refer: http://php.net/manual/en/function.filetype.php
I hope it will help you!

I would recommend you to used the codeigniter uploading library.
https://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/file_uploading.html
-> Make sure that the path you are uploading is real and writable
-> Dump your $_FILES and see if it displays the right value and array index
Here is my sample code when uploading:
if (isset($_FILES['userfile']) && is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {
$config['upload_path'] = $path = 'Your Path'; //MAKES SURE THIS PATH IS WRITABLE AND A REAL PATH
$config['allowed_types'] = 'csv';
$config['max_size'] = '100';
$config['max_width'] = '1024';
$config['max_height'] = '768';
$config['remove_spaces'] = true;
$config['overwrite'] = true;
$config['encrypt_name'] = true;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
{
//error in upload
var_dump($this->upload->display_errors());
}
else
{
//success upload
var_dump($this->upload->data());
}
}
