In this code we have used “file_tbl” table to store user image path. Change the table and database name.

SQL dump:

--
-- Table structure for table `file_tbl`
--

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `file_tbl` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `path` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;

PHP file:

Unknown extension!';
		$errors=1;
	}
	else
	{
		$size=filesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);

		if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
		{
			echo '
You have exceeded the size limit!
';
			$errors=1;
		}

		$image_name=time().'.'.$extension;
		$newname="images/".$image_name;
		
		$copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname);
		if (!$copied) 
		{
			echo '
Copy unsuccessfull!
';
			$errors=1;
		}
		else echo '
uploaded successfull!
';
		
		mysql_query("insert into file_tbl (path) values('".$newname."')");
	}
	
	//Display image
	$rs=mysql_query("select * from file_tbl");
	if($rs)
		while($row=mysql_fetch_array($rs))
		{
		 ?>
		 

		 

By using the global PHP $_FILES array you can upload files from a client computer to the remote server.

The first parameter is the form’s input name and the second index can be either “name”, “type”, “size”, “tmp_name” or “error”. Like this:

• $_FILES[“image”][“name”] – the name of the uploaded file
• $_FILES[“image”][“type”] – the type of the uploaded file
• $_FILES[“image”][“size”] – the size in bytes of the uploaded file
• $_FILES[“image”][“tmp_name”] – the name of the temporary copy of the file stored on the server
• $_FILES[“image”][“error”] – the error code resulting from the file upload

This is a very simple way of uploading files. For security reasons, you should add restrictions on what the user is allowed to upload.
