Joomla JFile::upload Issue

Question

I'm developing a Joomla component, which should provide the functionality to upload files. I followed the guidelines from docs.joomla.org, and derived the following function:

public function fileupload()
{

    $jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
    $files = $jinput->files->get('jform','array',null);

    $fileError=$files['image']['error'];

    If ($fileError>0){

        switch (true){  

            case $fileError==1:
            echo JText::_( 'FILE TO LARGE THAN PHP INI ALLOWS' );
            return;

            case $fileError==2:
            echo JText::_( 'FILE TO LARGE THAN HTML FORM ALLOWS' );
            return;

            case $fileError==3:
            echo JText::_( 'ERROR PARTIAL UPLOAD' );
            return;

            case $fileError==4:
            echo JText::_( 'ERROR NO FILE' );
            return;

        }   
    }

    $filesize=$files['image']['size'];

    If ($filesize>2000000){

    echo JText::_( 'FILE BIGGER THAN 2MB' );    

    }

    $fileTemp=$files['image']['tmp_name'];


    $imageinfo = getimagesize($fileTemp);
    $okMIMETypes = 'image/jpeg,image/jpg,image/pjpeg,image/png,image/x-png,image/gif';
    $validFileTypes = explode(",", $okMIMETypes); 

    if( !is_int($imageinfo[0]) || !is_int($imageinfo[1]) ||  !in_array($imageinfo['mime'], $validFileTypes) )
    {
    echo JText::_( 'INVALID FILETYPE' );
    return;
    }

    $fileName = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/i", "-", $fileName);

    $uploadPath = JPATH_Component.DS.$fileName;

    if(!JFile::upload($fileTemp, $uploadPath)) 
    {
            echo JText::_('ERROR MOVING FILEs'.$fileTemp);
            return;
    }
    else
    {
       // success, exit with code 0 for Mac users, otherwise they receive an IO Error
       exit(0);
    }

    If (isset($files)){
    $name = $files['image']['name'];
    $size = $files['image']['size'];
    }

    $this->setRedirect(JRoute::_('index.php?   
            option=com_name&view=confirmation&filename='.$name.'&filesize='.
            $size.'&tmp='.$fileTemp.'&dir=', false));


        }

The point is, that "JFile::upload($fileTemp, $uploadPath)" does always result in the Error

Can't move File 

The path to the tmp-folder is correct (*/shared-data/webroot/01_Playground/tmp*), in dependence to another post at stackoverflow, I set the file permissions to 644, and the directory permission to 755(I also tried 777), without success so far. $files['image']['tmp_name'] is returning a value, but there is nothing in my tmp-folder. (I tried this code snippet on linux-ubuntu as well as on windows, without success.) Perhaps someone knows a working solution for my Issue?

Update: After activating error-reporting and using var_dump, I figured out the following: It has something to do with exit(0); I removed the line containing exit(0) and it works as it should be.

Your file is not uploaded to the Joomla tmp folder but in the PHP tmp folder.

Thus your code should look like:

$fileTemp=ini_get('upload_tmp_dir') . $files['image']['tmp_name'];
