How does PHP safe mode affect file writing operations?

PHP safe mode restricts file writing operations to only files owned by the script owner. To work around this restriction, you can disable safe mode in your PHP configuration or use the `move_uploaded_file()` function to move uploaded files to a directory where the script has write permissions.

// Example code to move an uploaded file to a directory
$uploadedFile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$destination = '/path/to/destination/' . $_FILES['file']['name'];

if (move_uploaded_file($uploadedFile, $destination)) {
    echo 'File uploaded successfully!';
} else {
    echo 'File upload failed.';
}
