Unable to move file in PHP

Question

I randomly started having difficulty moving an uploaded file to another folder. Have checked permissions of videos folder, and have made sure it's writable. I'm using full paths, and haven't had issues with this previously. Any thoughts?

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/php5xBeV5' to '/home/main/homes/videos/1440597514_tmp_IMG_20150804_174422551.jpg' in /home/main/public_html/app/classes/video.class.php on line 34

 function importVideo() {
    $filename = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
    $newfilename = substr(md5(rand()), 0, 7);
    $ext = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
    $target_file =  '/home/main/homes/videos/'.$filename;
    $file = $_FILES['file'];
    move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $target_file);

}

The error doesn't originate from that code - your $newfilename is 7 hex chars, but the error message has a more complex name. — Paul Dixon, Oct 16 '15 at 17:41
The error provided was with $filename being used, I must have copied old code. Updated now. — Tim Baker, Oct 16 '15 at 17:45

Thanks, sadly I've already tried that and am still receiving the same error. — Tim Baker, Oct 16 '15 at 17:50
Might not be related but I've noticed you don't use `$ext` anywhere. — al'ein, Oct 16 '15 at 18:21
Unrelated, I simplified and removed a lot of the code for easy reading. But current snippet is still providing this error. — Tim Baker, Oct 16 '15 at 18:30

In the end, I was logged into a cloned server and the directories I was referencing didn't actually exist on the server I was referencing. Thanks for attempted help.
