How can a user regain control over files uploaded to the server via PHP in safe mode?

When PHP is running in safe mode, it restricts the ability to manipulate files uploaded to the server. To regain control over these files, you can use the move_uploaded_file() function to move the uploaded file to a directory where you have permission to access and manipulate files. 

$uploadedFile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$destination = 'path/to/destination/folder/' . $_FILES['file']['name'];

if (move_uploaded_file($uploadedFile, $destination)) {
    echo 'File uploaded successfully.';
} else {
    echo 'Failed to upload file.';
}
