How can the "SAFE MODE Restriction" error be resolved when using the move_uploaded_file function in PHP?

The "SAFE MODE Restriction" error occurs when the move_uploaded_file function is restricted due to the server's safe mode settings. To resolve this issue, you can use the copy function instead of move_uploaded_file to copy the uploaded file to the desired location. 

// Check if file was uploaded successfully
if ($_FILES['file']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
    $source = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
    $destination = 'path/to/destination/' . $_FILES['file']['name'];
    
    // Copy the uploaded file to the destination
    if (copy($source, $destination)) {
        echo 'File uploaded successfully.';
    } else {
        echo 'Error uploading file.';
    }
} else {
    echo 'Error uploading file.';
}
