Trouble moving uploaded file

I am simply trying to move an uploaded file to a location on my server. Here is my code.

    $target_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "img/uploads/";
    $target_path = $target_path . basename($_FILES['imageURL']['tmp_name']);

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imageURL']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
        echo "The file has been moved";
    } else {
        echo "There was an error.";
    }

I keep getting the error for false and I can't figure out why it won't move it. I've verified the location of it with an if statement it results in true.

I edited the name path for the tmp_name in the array..still hasn't worked. I did a dump and I have no tmp_key for that array. Why am I not getting the key?

$_FILES['imageURL']['name'] is the name of the file, not the location in the OS-temp directory.

I think you need to use $_FILES['imageURL']['tmp_name'].
