Im not convinced that move_uploaded_file is the most secure way to handle file uploads in PHP. Have you considered using more advanced encryption techniques to truly safeguard sensitive data?

Move_uploaded_file is a basic function for file uploads in PHP. Encryption alone doesnt make it more secure. Proper validation and sanitization of user input are crucial too.
