PHP - Move_uploaded_file() Not Moving My File Into Folder

Hi, I have a form where a user selects a file to attach to the email. At the moment when you select a file it uploads from the user device.

How do i change this so that a user can attach a file from a folder on the server. For example the folder name is uploadinvoice

so when the user selects the browse button to attach a file it opens up the uploadinvoice folder on the server so the user can select the file from there ?

Thanks 

coding i have at moment

function ValidateEmail($email)

{

   $pattern = '/^([0-9a-z]([-.\w]*[0-9a-z])*@(([0-9a-z])+([-\w]*[0-9a-z])*\.)+[a-z]{2,6})$/i';

   return preg_match($pattern, $email);

}

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' && isset($_POST['formid']) && $_POST['formid'] == 'form1')

Hi everyone, I'm still learning, but getting intermediate in PHP now, but it is still challenge to learn. I'm trying to have php check to see if one file inside folder in server, seem I could not get it right, but I tested it on other site, it works, but not this script, I don't understand why it won't work...maybe logical is wrong?

here my code:

	if ($_POST['video']) {
	        $path1 = "UPLOADS/Home/";
        $path2 = "UPLOADS/Breakfast/";
        $path3 = "UPLOADS/Spider/";
	        $scan1 = scandir($path1);
        $scan2 = scandir($path2);
        $scan3 = scandir($path3);
	        $count1 = count($scan1) - 3;
        $count2 = count($scan2) - 3;
        $count3 = count($scan3) - 3;
	        if($count1 > 0) {
            header('location:exist.html');
        }elseif ($count2 > 0) {
            header('location:exist.html');
        }elseif ($count3 > 0) {
            header('location:exist.html');
        }
	

But other site, it works:

	$scan = scandir($path);
$count = count($scan) - 3;
	echo $count;
	if($count > 1){
    echo "Hello yourself!<br />";
}
	

Anyone will help will be appreciate! Thank you!

Gary

/dev    Contains references to all the CPU peripheral hardware, which are represented as files with special properties.
/etc    Most important system configuration files are in /etc, this directory contains data similar to those in the Control Panel in Windows
/home    Home directories of the common users.
/initrd    (on some distributions) Information for booting. Do not remove!
/lib    Library files, includes files for all kinds of programs needed by the system and the users.

I am working PHP project on localhost using wamp, for debug process we using error_log() function, every time error_log() stored details of the error in wamp/logs, how can I view my error in the same project folder like wamp/www/goodgoal/

eg: wamp/www/goodgoal/logs/error_log.log

This upload code is used for uploading a video file from html page, after recording via html5 screen <video></video>, however, ther file doesn't arrive in the uploads/ folder:

<?php
foreach (array('video', 'audio') as $type) {
    if (isset($_FILES["${type}-blob"])) {

        $fileName = $_POST["${type}-filename"];
        $uploadDirectory = 'uploads/' .rand(5,500).$fileName;

        if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES["${type}-blob"]["tmp_name"], $uploadDirectory)) {
            echo (" problem moving uploaded file");
        }
    }
}

when uploaded from iPhone. So, I don't know how to see errors on iPhone. Folder permission is 755. php.ini max file size is 2024M,

any ideas/solutions are appreciated.
