 $file = rand(1000,100000)."-".$_FILES['file']['name'];
    $file_loc = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
 $file_size = $_FILES['file']['size'];
 $file_type = $_FILES['file']['type'];
 $folder="uploads/";
 
 move_uploaded_file($file_loc,$folder.$file);
 $sql="INSERT INTO tbl_uploads(file,type,size) VALUES('$file','$file_type','$file_size')";
 mysql_query($sql); 
}
?>

Example 4: php upload

// To change: FILENAME, array with allowed extensions, Max Filesite, Filepath
if(upload("FILENAME", array("jpeg","jpg","png"), 209715, "C:/xampp/htdocs/")){
        echo "Success";
    }


function upload($f_name, $f_ext_allowed, $f_maxsize, $f_path){

      $f_name_2 = $_FILES[$f_name]['name'];
      $f_size  =  $_FILES[$f_name]['size'];
      $f_tmp   =  $_FILES[$f_name]['tmp_name'];
      $f_error =  $_FILES[$f_name]['error'];
      $f_ext   = strtolower(end(explode('.',$f_name_2)));
      $f_rename = $_SESSION['uid'] . "." . $f_ext;

        if($f_error == 0 && in_array($f_ext, $f_ext_allowed) 
        && $f_size < $f_maxsize && mb_strlen($f_name_2, "UTF-8") < 225 
        && preg_match("`^[-0-9A-Z_\.]+$`i", $f_name_2)){
            if(move_uploaded_file($f_tmp, $f_path . $f_name_2){
                return true;
            }else{
                return false;
