Please Check below code ,is working for me.

$source = $_FILES[customer_photo][tmp_name];
$temp = explode(".",$_FILES["user_image"]["name"]);
$newfilename = rand(1,99999) . '.' .end($temp); //you can change here random id replace the your id
$destination = "photos/$newfilename";    
move_uploaded_file($source, $destination);

If you want to change the file name before moving it to it's final location, simply change this line:

$destination = "photos/$filename";

to this:

$path_parts = pathinfo($_FILES["user_image"]["name"]);
$extension = $path_parts['extension'];
$destination = "photos/<the name you want>." . $extension;
