Are there any specific PHP functions or libraries that are recommended for handling file uploads to a server?

When handling file uploads in PHP, it is recommended to use the `move_uploaded_file` function to move the uploaded file from the temporary directory to the desired location on the server. Additionally, you can use the `$_FILES` superglobal array to access information about the uploaded file, such as its name, type, size, and temporary location. 

<?php
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
    echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
} else {
    echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
?>
