// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
  echo "";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {

$oldname = ['tmp_name'];
$newname =  $_SESSION['username']; '.' + $imageFileType;

if (rename($oldname, $newname)) {
  $message = sprintf(
    '',
    $oldname,
    $newname
  );
} else {
  $message = sprintf(
    '',
    $oldname
  );
}
  if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"], $newname, $target_file)) {
    echo "The file ". htmlspecialchars( basename("image has been uploaded."));
   } else {
    echo "there was an error uploading your file.";
