Image/File upload doesn’t work with materializecss framework

I want to create a post creator which works with a database, but I can’t upload an image or a file. My web-page is using the materialize framework. This code is mostly shrunk down to the important parts.

<?php
require_once 'include/Database.php';
require_once 'include/Sessions.php';
require_once 'include/Functions.php';

if (isset($_POST['addPostButton']) || isset($_FILES['image'])) {

    $imageName = $_POST['image'];
    $imageDirectory = 'uploads/' . basename($_FILES['image']['name']);

    if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $imageDirectory)) {
        $_SESSION['ErrorMessage'] = 'File is invalid!';
    } else {
        global $ConnectingDB;
        $stmt = $ConnectingDB->prepare("INSERT INTO posts(image) VALUES('$imageName')");
        if ($stmt->execute()) {
            $_SESSION['SuccessMessage'] = 'Post created';
        }
    }
}
?>
