If your folder “uploads” is inside “exam_app” remove the “../”!

i would either like this:

$destination_path = str_replace("//", "/", $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/")."uploads";

or this (if your server has php5.3 or higher):

$destination_path = __DIR__ . '/uploads/';

otherwise:

$destinaton_path = dirname(__FILE__) . '/uploads/';
