Use copy() instead of move_uploaded_file(). move_uploaded_file() deletes the source file when it’s done, so you can’t use it multiple times on the same file. copy() leaves the original file alone, so you can do it as many times as you want.

When the script exits, PHP automatically removes the temp file that was uploaded if it doesn’t get moved by the script.
