Creating a upload Form using HTML
The following HTML source code below create a uploader form this form is having method attributes set to post and enctype attributes is set to multipart/form-data .
<form action="upload_image.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Select Image:<input type="file" name="image"><br /><br /> Description:<input type="text" name="desc"><br /><br /> <input type="submit" name="upload" value="Upload Now"> </form>
Creating Image upload Script using PHP
in this step we are creating a image upload script using php. there is one global php varriable $_FILES . this varriable is an associate double dimension array and keeps all the information related to uploaded files. if the value assigned to the input’s name attributes in upload form was file then php would create following varriables .
$_FILES [‘file’][‘name’] – The original name of the file on the client machine.
$_FILES [‘file’][‘size’] – The size , in bytes, of the uploaded file.
$_FILES [‘file’][‘type’] – The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this information. an example would be “image/gif” . This mime type is however not checked on the PHP side and therefore don’t take its value for granted.
$_FILES [‘file’][‘tmp_name’] – The temporary filename of the file in which the uploaded file was stored on the server.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['upload'])){
$image_name = $_FILES['image']['name'];
$image_type = $_FILES['image']['type'];
$image_size = $_FILES['image']['size'];
$image_tmp_name= $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$desc = $_POST['desc'];
move_uploaded_file($image_tmp_name,"photos/$image_name");
echo "<img src='photos/$image_name' width='400' height='250'><br>$desc";
}
?>
