If you have an input element of type="file" whose name="photo" then you should be using $_FILES['photo']['name'] since $_FILES['photo'] would actually be an array.

$TARGET_PATH="pics/";
$TARGET_PATH =$TARGET_PATH . $_FILES['photo']['name'] . '.jpg';
while (file_exists($TARGET_PATH))
    {
$TARGET_PATH =$TARGET_PATH .  $_FILES['photo']['name']. uniqid() . '.jpg';
}
