Files do not upload via PHP

I need to create a simple web page via which you can upload a image file that goes to a directory on the server that is previously created.

Here's the code for the index.php file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Select image to upload:
    <input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
    <input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>

Here's the code for the upload.php:

<?php
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
    $check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
    if($check !== false) {
        echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
        $uploadOk = 1;
    } else {
        echo "File is not an image.";
        $uploadOk = 0;
    }
}
?>

The code is hosted on a free hosting server (not a paid one) and I created a dir called 'uploads' in the same subdirectory where both scripts are located. In the php settings uploading seems to be on. The index.php displays fine, I select an image and click upload, it loads for a second and then displays 'File is an image - image/gif.' However when I got to the upload dir, there isn't a single file there.

What could be the issue? Thank you in advance.

You aren't moving the file to your server after uploading the temp file so it gets deleted

if ($uploadOk == 0) {
    echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
        echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
    } else {
        echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
    }
}
