store image in folder using php code example

Example 1: how to upload image in php and store in database and folder

// Get the name of images
  	$Get_image_name = $_FILES['image']['name'];
  	
  	// image Path
  	$image_Path = "images/".basename($Get_image_name);

  	$sql = "INSERT INTO student_table (imagename, contact) VALUES ('$Get_image_name', 'USA')";
  	
	// Run SQL query
  	mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

  	if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $image_Path)) {
  		echo "Your Image uploaded successfully";
  	}else{
  		echo  "Not Insert Image";
  	}
  }

Example 2: php save image from url to folder

You should be able to use file_get_contents for this one. In order to use an URL with file_get_contents make sure allow_url_fopen is enabled in you php.ini file.

define('DIRECTORY', '/home/user/uploads');

$content = file_get_contents('http://anothersite/images/goods.jpg');
file_put_contents(DIRECTORY . '/image.jpg', $content);
Make sure that you have write permission to the directory where you want to store the image; to make the folder writable you could do this:

chmod +w /home/users/uploads
