Using PHP to upload file and add the path to MySQL database
First you should use print_r($_FILES)
to debug, and see what it contains. :
your uploads.php
would look like:
//This is the directory where images will be saved
$target = "pics/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['Filename']['name']);
//This gets all the other information from the form
$Filename=basename( $_FILES['Filename']['name']);
$Description=$_POST['Description'];
//Writes the Filename to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filename']['tmp_name'], $target)) {
//Tells you if its all ok
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['Filename']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";
// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()) ;
mysql_select_db("altabotanikk") or die(mysql_error()) ;
//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query("INSERT INTO picture (Filename,Description)
VALUES ('$Filename', '$Description')") ;
} else {
//Gives and error if its not
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
?>
EDIT: Since this is old post, currently it is strongly recommended to use either mysqli or pdo instead mysql_ functions in php
