HTML upload file directory does not exist

I am attempting to upload a file using an HTML form and php, the code goes like this:

$targetPictureLocation = "/files/images/team/" . strtolower(str_replace(" ","", $_POST['name'])) . ".png";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $targetPictureLocation);

Now I believe the $targetPictureLocation refrences www.domain.com/targetpath/ because there is a slash infront of files. Is this proper? If so then the directory does exist however I am getting these errors:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/files/images/team/foobar.png) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/08/11798508/html/domainname/files/scripts/userManagement.php on line 259

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpwzO4X7' to '/files/images/team/foobar.png' in /home/content/08/11798508/html/domainname/files/scripts/userManagement.php on line 259

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you so much

Try :

$targetPictureLocation = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/domainname/files/images/team/" . strtolower(str_replace(" ","", $_POST['name'])) . ".png";`

You are only adding the relative path which will point PHP to :

/home/content/08/11798508/html/domainname/files/scripts/files/images/team/

which is the wrong location. PHP's $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] will return the scripts' base directory URL. Since the folder you want to upload is in the parent folder. You should use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] and the location becomes :

/home/content/08/11798508/html/domainname/files/images/team/
