How can PHP scripts be used to facilitate file uploads to directories that are not directly accessible via the web?

When uploading files to directories that are not directly accessible via the web, PHP scripts can be used to move the uploaded files to the desired directory on the server. This can be achieved by specifying the target directory path in the PHP script and using functions like move_uploaded_file() to transfer the files. 

<?php
$targetDirectory = '/path/to/target/directory/';
$uploadedFile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$destination = $targetDirectory . $_FILES['file']['name'];

if(move_uploaded_file($uploadedFile, $destination)) {
    echo 'File uploaded successfully.';
} else {
    echo 'Error uploading file.';
}
?>
