The way you display the directories is not clear, if you have the path as
webserver/documents/PHP_scripts/test_script/Text_folder/week_folder, then
you should be using a relative path of $targetFolder =
"Text_folder/week_folder";
If all else fails just use full absolute paths, ie. $targetFolder =
"/webserver/documents/PHP_scripts/test_script/Text_folder/week_folder";
