php move_uploaded_file unable to move

I've got the following code to upload a file and add it to the folder called images located in the root of the server.

$file = $_FILES['prodImg']['tmp_name'];
$newLoc="/images/" . $_FILES['prodImg']['name'];  
if(move_uploaded_file($file, $newLoc)){
     //do some other code here
}
else{
     echo 'error';
}

the form has this button to add the image

<input type="file" name="prodImg" id="prodImg" accept="image/png" />

the images folder has all permissions set to read, write and execute every time i try to upload an image it go to the else statement. not sure what i'm doing wrong here.
how do i make it work properly?

remove the slash ahead of images

$newLoc= "images/".$_FILES['prodImg']['name'];

The path of your $newLoc variable may be wrong. Try ./images/. The one specified may define an image folder on the same level as the home, root... folders if you use Linux.

Do you have attribute in your form?

enctype="multipart/form-data"

I.e.:

<form action="..." method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Then you can try to check permission for that folder.

And also try change filepath:

$newLoc="./images/" . $_FILES['prodImg']['name'];

or

$newLoc="images/" . $_FILES['prodImg']['name'];
