File upload with php on a linux server dont work

I want to make a website where I can upload files to a specific directory on my Linux server.

HTML:

    <body>

    <form action="index.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    	<p>File: </p>
    	<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000000000000">
    	
    	<input type="file" name="FileToUpload" id="FileToUpload"> <br> <br>
    	<input type="submit" value="Hochladen" name="submit">
    </form>
    </body>

PHP: 

    <?php
    	
    	
    	$directory = "var/www/html/upload/";
    	$file = $directory . basename($_FILES["FileToUpload"]["name"]);
  
    	if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["FileToUpload"]["name"], $file)){
    		echo "File was succesfully uploaded!";
    	}
    	else{
    		echo "ERROR";
    	}
    	print_r(error_get_last());

        print_r($_FILES);

    ?>

Php.ini: 

file_uploads = On

upload_tmp_dir= "/var/www/html/upload/files/"

upload_max_filesize = 2048M

max_file_uploads = 20

output: 

Array ( [FileToUpload] => Array ( [name] => Meme.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /var/www/html/upload/files/phpiQizaE [error] => 0 [size] => 91487 ) )

The folder for the uploaded image has 777 permissions and www-data user and group.
Image showing Folder Permission

I don't know how to make it work.
I think it's something I must change in linux, because in the middle of the search it says The upload was succesfull, so I don't think the php or the html are the problem...

Really appreciate any kind of help.

I tried your code and found 2 flaws:

  1. The parameter 1 should have tmp_name instead of name like this: move_uploaded_file($_FILES["FileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $file) in place of move_uploaded_file($_FILES["FileToUpload"]["name"], $file)

  2. The location should be absolute so it should be $directory = "/var/www/html/upload/"; instead of $directory = "var/www/html/upload/";

The code will work. At least it worked in mine.

You should not move file by name, but by tmp_name, rewrite this part of code to look like this:

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["FileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $file)){
    echo "File was succesfully uploaded!";
}
