temp file not getting placed in sub directory

Been trying to figure out why my $temp file will not get placed in the $un directory. The directory structure gets created but the temp file is not moved there. To verify a temp file is being created - if I remove the mkdir() the temp file is added to uploads folder. How come the file is not being created in sub directory?

uploads/subfolder/

$temp = 'uploads/'.mkdir('uploads/'.$un) . md5($_FILES['image']['name']);

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $temp)) {
// do something here..
}

Use like this, 

  mkdir('uploads/'.$un);
  $temp = "uploads/$un/" . md5($_FILES['image']['name']);

As function mkdir returns bool value, this line 

$temp = 'uploads/'.mkdir('uploads/'.$un) . md5($_FILES['image']['name']);

is evaluated to 

$temp = 'uploads/' . ('1' or '') . 'md5-filename';

So as you can see - your $temp path will never store your $un subdirectory.

The solution can be:

$temp = 'uploads/' . $un;
$res = mkdir($temp);
// check that folder created successfully
if ($res) {    
    $temp .= md5($_FILES['image']['name']);
    // upload your file
}
