I need someone to tell me what is wrong with my code ? It does not upload video files.

As a general note: 'Doesn't work' is the most useless error description you can provide to anyone trying to solve your problem. Describe what you do, step by step, in clear and short terms, preferably with clear screenshots of the steps you take and the error message that is presented to you. That will make answering or troubleshooting much more easier for yourself and the troubleshooter.
If you fling your questions onto StackOverflow in the same way as you do here, it is very obvious why you have encountered the open question limit over there. Don't expect your questions to be answered soon there (or here). People don't have any idea of what you are doing, how your environment looks like or what tools you are using. Here's a secret, they don't give a flying f..k care, because they have much more useful things to do with their time.
So, mention what version of PHP you use. Mention what type of server (Windows/Linux). Mention which web server (Apache, NGINX, other) etc.
Another general note: Web servers, by default, are configured only to serve files to anyone who asks, not receive files and storing these. How sure are you that the web server you use is configured to allow for file uploads?
Last general note of this post: You are setting some values in your final error message. Why? Error messages are there to inform the user and preferably never contain forms of code. That is true for any type of messaging to inform the user.
In your case, I would seriously suggest to start using an IDE for PHP development. It is clear that you don't. IDEs help you out with code completion, syntax and the better IDEs even have tools that analyze the code you create in them and show (some of) the errors in your concept code.
NetBeans and Eclipse have IDEs for PHP development that are free to use. PHPStorm is not free. Besides that info, I have no experience with any of them, so you are on your own there.

Thanks man for the enlightenment. Though, I would have prefered it without any swearing.
Thanks for the IDE suggestions. I use NotePad++. Anyway, which one do you use and which one you found better out of the 2 you sugegsted and why that one better over the other one ? Now, I'm interviewing you! ;)
Shades:
Those were just suggestions. I don't use any and have no plans to do so in the near or far future.
What I can tell you is that I like the screenshots of NetBeans the most. That is as objective and biased as it can be, so try both and see which one you like best. Or spend money on PHPStorm, it gets talked about in very positive ways on other forums I frequent, for whatever that's worth.
The links show you the feature set of each IDE. What is best for you, your coding style and the code you want to produce with it, that is something only you can decide.
Notepad++ is an excellent text editor, which detects many different scripting/coding languages. But that doesn't mean it is a right fit for coding. For minor adjustments in code when you don't have time to open a full fledged IDE, sure. But it is practically always better to fire up the IDE instead. And nowadays, almost anyone uses SSDs as their main drive, so starting up an IDE isn't nearly as time-consuming as it once was.
IDEs usually come with another handy feature, a link to one or more Version Control Systems (Git, Mercurial, SVN etc.). Use this to commit your code into (with proper description of what you were trying to do) your repository. If When you need to go back in time at some point during the coding of your project, you will be very happy you did. All have their pro's and con's, but Git is very popular nowadays, so it will be handy for you to follow the masses here. Also, there is tons of free information floating around the Internet about Git.
