Here is some code that will give you some symbolic meaning to your errors:

class UploadException extends Exception { 
    public function __construct($code) { 
        $message = $this->codeToMessage($code); 
        parent::__construct($message, $code); 
    } 

    private function codeToMessage($code) { 
        switch ($code) { 
            case UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE: 
                $message = "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini"; 
                break; 
            case UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE: 
                $message = "The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form"; 
                break; 
            case UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL: 
                $message = "The uploaded file was only partially uploaded"; 
                break; 
            case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE: 
                $message = "No file was uploaded"; 
                break; 
            case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR: 
                $message = "Missing a temporary folder"; 
                break; 
            case UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE: 
                $message = "Failed to write file to disk"; 
                break; 
            case UPLOAD_ERR_EXTENSION: 
                $message = "File upload stopped by extension"; 
                break; 

            default: 
                $message = "Unknown upload error"; 
                break; 
        } 
        return $message; 
    } 
} 

// Use 
if ($_FILES['file']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) { 
    //uploading successfully done 
} else { 
    throw new UploadException($_FILES['file']['error']); 
}

If you're getting an error from your last else statement, it is difficult to tell what exactly triggered it. Try using something like the above. http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
