Are there any best practices for managing file uploads in PHP to avoid Safe Mode issues?

Safe Mode in PHP restricts the operations that can be performed on files and directories for security reasons. To avoid Safe Mode issues when managing file uploads in PHP, it is best to use functions like move_uploaded_file() and ensure that the directories where files are uploaded have the correct permissions set. 

// Check if file was uploaded successfully
if ($_FILES['file']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
    $uploadDir = 'uploads/';
    $uploadFile = $uploadDir . basename($_FILES['file']['name']);

    // Move the uploaded file to the uploads directory
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile)) {
        echo 'File uploaded successfully.';
    } else {
        echo 'Failed to upload file.';
    }
} else {
    echo 'Error uploading file.';
}
