move_uploaded_file to folder not working

i am trying to create an image uploader, but i am having trouble saving the image in a folder. Should the folder be in the root of my directory named images? and if so, how come it is not saving the images to that folder when i use move_uploaded_file code?

Thank you.

//connect to db include('includes/connection.php');

if(isset($_FILES['files'])){

$errors= array();
foreach($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'] as $key => $tmp_name ){
    $file_name = $key.$_FILES['files']['name'][$key];
    $file_size =$_FILES['files']['size'][$key];
    $file_tmp =$_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$key];
    $file_type=$_FILES['files']['type'][$key];  
    if($file_size > 2097152){
        $errors[]='File size must be less than 2 MB';
    }       
    $query="INSERT into store (`id`,`name`,`size`,`type`) VALUES('$user_id','$file_name','$file_size','$file_type'); ";
    $desired_dir="images/";
    if(empty($errors)==true){
        if(is_dir($desired_dir)==false){
            mkdir($desired_dir, 0700);      // Create directory if it does not exist
        }
        if(is_dir($desired_dir.$file_name)==false){
            move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, "$desired_dir/$file_name");
        }else{                                  // rename the file if another one exist
            $new_dir=$desired_dir.$file_name.time();
             rename($file_tmp,$new_dir) ;               
        }
     mysql_query($query);           
    }else{
            print_r($errors);
    }
}
if(empty($error)){
    echo "Success";
}
}

echo '<img src="images/' . $row['id'] . '</img>';

Maybe you can correct it like this:

    $desired_dir="images";
    if(empty($errors)==true){
        if(is_dir($desired_dir)==false){
            mkdir("$desired_dir", 0700);        // Create directory if it does not exist
        }
        if(is_dir("$desired_dir/".$file_name)==false){
            move_uploaded_file($file_tmp,"images/".$file_name);
        }else{                                  //rename the file if another one exist
            $new_dir="images/".$file_name.time();
             rename($file_tmp,$new_dir) ;               
        }
    mysqli_query($conny, $sql);         
    }else{
            print_r($errors);
    }
}
