PHPMailer Ajax: File Attachment - ajax

Question

I'm trying to send an attachment via email with Phpmailer, but I get the error: Could not access file: pdf_consenso/.
What am I doing wrong ?
File attachments aren't included in the email sent by PHPMailer when submitting the form via AJAX.
Here is the PHP Mailer:
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'PHPMailer/Exception.php';
require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer/SMTP.php';
$codPre = $_POST['codPre'];
try {
if (isset($_FILES['pdf_consenso']['name']) && $_FILES['pdf_consenso']['name'] != "") {
$file = "pdf_consenso/" . basename($_FILES['pdf_consenso']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['pdf_consenso']['tmp_name'], $file);
} else
$file = "";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // Enable verbose debug output
//$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->Host = ; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = ; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = ; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS;
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->addAttachment($file);
$mail->setFrom('');
$mail->addAddress(''); // Add a recipient
$mail->Subject = "Consenso Informato - Cod.Prenotazione: " . $codPre;
$mail->Body ="Consenso Informato";
$mail->AltBody = "Consenso Informato";
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
echo "<script>alert('Message has been sent')</script>";
}
catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}
Here is the contact form :
<form id="uploadFile" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="field has-addons">
<p class="control">
<input class="input" id="codPre" type="text" placeholder="Codice prenotazione">
</p>
</div>
<input type="file" id="pdf_consenso" name="pdf_consenso" hidden>
<label class="button" for="pdf_consenso">Scegli file</label>
<span id="file-chosen">Nessun file scelto</span>
<footer class="modal-card-foot">
<button type="submit" class="button is-rounded bt-send"><strong>INVIA DOCUMENTO</strong></button>
<button class="button is-rounded bt-erase">ANNULLA</button>
</footer>
</form>
Here is AJAX Call:
// FORM DI CONTATTO - PAGINA DOVE SIAMO
$("#uploadFile").submit(function (event) {
// cancels the form submission
event.preventDefault();
submitForm();
});
function submitForm() {
//Initiate Variables With Form Content
//Creazione di un oggetto FormData…
var datiForm = new FormData();
//… aggiunta del nome…
datiForm.append('codPre',$("#codPre").val());
//… aggiunta del file
datiForm.append('pdf_consenso',$('#pdf_consenso')[0].files[0]);
//Toast messaggio in uscita
iziToast.show({

console.log(data);
if (data == 'Message sent') {

}
}
});
}
function formSuccess() {
$("#uploadFile")[0].reset();
// custom toast
