PHP file upload / move_uploaded_file not working, not like other questions

I have looked through the five other similar questions on here and none of them have been able to solve my problem. I am uploading a CSV file that is 1657 bytes in size.

Here are some values from my php.ini file

upload_max_filesize = 2M

post_max_size = 8M

$file = $_FILES['csv'];

if (!isset($file)) {
    halt(HTTP_NOT_FOUND, 'This page could not be found on the web server');
}

if (substr(strrchr($file['name'], '.'), 1) != 'csv') {
    halt(500, 'Sorry but please upload a CSV file next time!');
}

if ($file['error'] != '0') {
    die('An error occurred during upload.<br />Error: ' . $file['error']);
}

$file_loc = '/home/x/tmp/up/' . basename($file['tmp_name']) . '.csv';

if (file_exists('/home/x/tmp/up/')) {
    echo 'the directory exists....<br/>';
}

if (file_exists($file['tmp_name'])) {
    echo 'tmp file exists<br/>';
    echo filesize($file['tmp_name']) . 'b<br/>';
}

if (move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $file_loc)) {
    echo 'Uploaded to: ' . $file_loc;
} else {
    echo 'something went wrong!' . print_r($_FILES['csv'], true);
    echo '<br />Upload Max Size: ' . ini_get('upload_max_filesize');
    echo '<br />POST Max Size: ' . ini_get('post_max_size');

}

And here is the generated output when I upload the file:

the directory exists....
tmp file exists
1657b
something went wrong!Array ( [name] => hm.csv [type] => application/vnd.ms-excel [tmp_name] => /tmp/php72p1VP [error] => 0 [size] => 1657 ) 
Upload Max Size: 2M
POST Max Size: 8M

I have already looked on PHP.net under the "common pitfalls" article which didn't lead to anything being fixed. Can anyone see what is wrong or give me some tips?

After multiple exchanges with a tech at the hosting provider, they managed to give the folder the right permissions (I had tried 0777 before but it did not work). I believe some voodoo went on behind the scenes but this is No errors in the error_log; I have set 777 permissions on /home/x/up and the script began working.

The following tips can be helpful.

1. The folder exists, check for spellings
2. Check the properties of the folder and make sure the permissions have read+write 0666
3. Make sure the file is within your public html root, otherwise double check the owner of the file, and make sure PHP Has read / write access to it.
4. Look for the logs i.e. Unable to move '/tmp/php6wlOg1' to 'upload/110216104651_00134_smooth_1440x900.jpg'
5. If the size of post data is greater than post_max_size, the $_POST and $_FILES superglobals are empty. So set it according to your need.

Also set this to see if there are any errors

error_reporting(E_ALL); // or E_STRICT
ini_set("display_errors",1);
ini_set("memory_limit","1024M");
