You maybe pointing to the wrong path. Make it complete by using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

This:

$target_file = "../upload/".$target_dir;

to:

$target_file =  $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/upload/".$target_dir;

The source file should be 'tmp_name' one, not the 'name'.

From:

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']["name"][$a], $target_file)){

To:

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']["tmp_name"][$a], $target_file)){

If the above changes still don't fix it:

Check your php.ini

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
;upload_tmp_dir =

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 50M


; Maximum number of files that can be uploaded via a single request
max_file_uploads = 20
