Uploading a file using PHP

I am uploading a file to soundcloud.com from my own server with using an API in PHP:

if (isset($mime)) {
        $tmp_file = $tmp_path . $_FILES['file']['name'];

        // Store the track temporary.
        if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $tmp_file)) {
            $post_data = array(
                'track[title]' => stripslashes($_POST['title']),
                'track[asset_data]' => realpath($tmp_file),
                'track[sharing]' => 'private'
            );

            if ($response = $soundcloud->upload_track($post_data, $mime)) {
                $response = new SimpleXMLElement($response);
                $response = get_object_vars($response);
                $message = 'Success! <a href="' . $response['permalink-url'] . '">Your track</a> has been uploaded!';

                // Delete the temporary file.
                unlink(realpath($tmp_file));
            } else {
                $message = 'Something went wrong while talking to SoundCloud, please try again.';
            }
        } else {
            $message = 'Couldn\'t move file, make sure the temporary path is writable by the server.';
        }
    } else {
        $message = 'SoundCloud support .mp3, .aiff, .wav, .flac, .aac, and .ogg files. Please select a different file.';
    }
}

This is my code. The temp path is http://122.166.23.38/dev3/bids4less/funkeymusic/upload and it has permissions 777 (-rwxrwxrwx).

But it shows:

Couldn't move file, make sure the temporary path is writable by the server.

How do I fix this problem?

This question is too old, but as it were popped anyway...

You don't have to move anything, nor unlink. Just read uploaded file from it's temporary location.

And it comes extremely handy to split your complex task into smaller chunks, in order to locate an error. Try to send a static file first, then test file upload, and only then join these tasks into final application.
