In what ways can the PHP function rename() be utilized to troubleshoot or address the problem of incomplete file uploads?

Incomplete file uploads can occur due to various reasons such as network issues or server limitations. One way to address this issue is by using the PHP function rename() to move the temporary uploaded file to its final destination after the upload is completed. This ensures that the file is fully uploaded before it is processed further. 

if ($_FILES['file']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
    $tempFilePath = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
    $finalFilePath = 'uploads/' . $_FILES['file']['name'];
    
    if (move_uploaded_file($tempFilePath, $finalFilePath)) {
        // File upload successful, do further processing here
    } else {
        echo 'Error moving file to destination';
    }
} else {
    echo 'File upload error: ' . $_FILES['file']['error'];
}
