    The filename for file to be uploaded is different from the one uploaded.
    Eg:

    the file to be uploaded is : DSS_Chapter_12 f f___h.pdf
    I renamed it in php code as : dss_chapter_12_f_f_h.pdf
    file uploaded name: dss_chapter_12

    My code:

    $sourceFile = $_FILES["sourceFile"]["name"];
    $target_path = "thesis/"
    $restrictChar=array("/","\\",":","?","\"","<",">","|",",","\.","*"," ","(",")","&","'");
    $sourceFile = trim(strtolower($sourceFile));
    $sourceFile = trim(str_replace($restrictChar,"_",basename( $sourceFile)));
    $sourceFile = FilterArray(basename($sourceFile));
    $target_path .= basename($sourceFile);

    $sourceFileTemp =$_FILES['sourceFile']['tmp_name'];
    if(move_uploaded_file($sourceFileTemp, $target_path))
    {
    if (is_uploaded_file($sourceFile))
    {
    echo "File ". $sourceFile ." uploaded successfully.\n";
    echo "Displaying contents\n";

    }
    else
    {
    echo "error!";
    }
    }

    function FilterArray($myArray)
    {
    for($j=1;$j<strlen($myArray);$j++)
    { $k=$j-1;
    if(($myArray[$j] == "_")&&($myArray[$k]=="_"))
    {
    $myArray[$k] ="";
    }


    }
    return $myArray;
    }

    Try replacing spaces in filenames as _
    
$sourceFile = $_FILES["sourceFile"]["name"];
$target_path = "thesis/"
$restrictChar = array("/", "\\", ":", "?", "\"", "<", ">", "|", ",", "\.", "*", " ", "(", ")", "&", "'", " ");
$sourceFile = trim(strtolower($sourceFile));
$sourceFile = str_replace($restrictChar, "_", basename($sourceFile));
$sourceFile = FilterArray(basename($sourceFile));
$target_path .= basename($sourceFile);

$sourceFileTemp = $_FILES['sourceFile']['tmp_name'];

if(move_uploaded_file($sourceFileTemp, $target_path))
{
  if(is_uploaded_file($sourceFile))
  {
    echo "File ". $sourceFile ." uploaded successfully.\n";
    echo "Displaying contents\n";
  }
  else
  {
    echo "error!";
  }
}

function FilterArray($myArray)
{
  for($j = 1; $j < strlen($myArray); $j++)
  {
    $k = $j-1;
    if(($myArray[$j] == "_") && ($myArray[$k]=="_"))
    {
      $myArray[$k] = "";
    }
  }
  return $myArray;
}
