How can PHP code be structured to handle file uploads successfully, especially when safe_mode is enabled?

When safe_mode is enabled in PHP, it restricts certain operations that can pose security risks, such as file uploads. To handle file uploads successfully in this scenario, you can use the move_uploaded_file function to move the uploaded file to a designated directory that safe_mode allows writing to. This function ensures that the file is securely moved to the desired location. 

<?php
$uploadDir = '/path/to/upload/directory/';
$uploadFile = $uploadDir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile)) {
    echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.";
} else {
    echo "Upload failed";
}
?>
