$TARGET_PATH = "pics/";
$image = $_FILES['photo'];
$TARGET_PATH =$TARGET_PATH . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);
$TARGET_PATH =$TARGET_PATH.".jpg";
if(file_exists($TARGET_PATH))
    {
$TARGET_PATH =$TARGET_PATH .uniqid() . ".jpg";
}
if (move_uploaded_file($image['tmp_name'], $TARGET_PATH))

The error message seems to be telling you that there is no such element at key "photo" in the global $_FILES array. That means the client didn't even send a file in the "photo" field.

As with any other input parameter, you should validate this condition before trying to access the element. For example, with: if (isset($_FILES['photo'])) {...}. And even when $_FILES['photo'] is set, you should check $_FILES['photo']['error'] for exceptions such as partial uploads (UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL) or empty uploads (UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE) as described in the PHP Manual.

You can debug this problem by adding the proper validations, i.e., making sure that the file upload exists and has been successful.
