Front end file upload returning wrong attachment url

For wp_insert_attachment and wp_generate_attachment_metadata, change $file_name in the following way.

$file_name = $upload_dir['path'] . "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" . basename($file_name);

WordPress codex for both function ( here and here ) says- ‘ Use absolute path and not the URI of the file. The file MUST be on the uploads directory’ $_FILES['fileUpload'] just gives the name of the file , not the absolute path along with.
