Can't upload files to Server folder

I'm trying to upload a file from a html form so that the file goes to a specific folder and the path get uploaded to a database. The database part works fine but the file doesnt go to my destination folder. I have the folder permissions set to 777 and in my php.ini file, file_uploads = on.

<?php

require 'config.php';

$connection = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $db);

foreach ($_FILES['upload']['name'] as $key => $name) {

   if( move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['name'][$key], '/upload_test/' . 
   $name)){
    echo "Uploaded";
} else {
    echo "Debug ", print_r($_FILES);
};

$path = '/upload_test/' . $name;

mysqli_query($connection, "insert into docs (path) values ('$path')");
}
?>
<script src="addInput.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<form method="POST" action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <div id="dynamicInput">
        <input type="file" name="upload[]" multiple><input type="button" 
        value="+" onClick="addInput('dynamicInput');">
    </div>
    <input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>

When I try to upload it returns this: 

Debug: Array(
     [upload] => Array(
        [name] => Array([0] => test.docx)
        [type] => Array([0] => application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document)
        [tmp_name] => Array([0] => /tmp/phputnLek)
        [error] => Array([0] => 0)
        [size] => Array([0] => 12551)
    )
)

Based on your comment, it seems that you are trying to upload to the wrong directory:

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'][$key], '/upload_test/' . $name)) {

Note that the path '/upload_test/' . $name is on the root of your file-system as it starts with a slash /.

If you want to move the file to a directory relative to the one you are currently running the script from, you would need:

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'][$key], 'upload_test/' . $name)) {
                                                             ^ relative to the current path

As relative paths tend to lead to confusion, you can also set a variable to define the root of your web-site relative to the root of the file-system or use the value provide by php, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

For example:

define('WEBROOT', '/var/www/html');
...
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'][$key], 
    WEBROOT . '/multiple_file_upload/upload_test/' . $name)) {

or:

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'][$key], 
    $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/multiple_file_upload/upload_test/' . $name)) {

You have to move the temp-file to the new destination! In your case you´re trying to move the original filename to the destination folder.

This should do it ...

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'][$key], '/upload_test/' . $name);
