How to Upload a PHP Image File

By Technology Last updated Wednesday, April/24/2024

1). Launch the editor and type the following to create the form:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload_imagefile.php" method="POST">

Choose Photo: <input name="imagefile" type="file" /><br />

<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" />

</form>

Save the file as "upload_image.html."
2). Create the PHP file used in the form action attribute by typing the following into a new file:

<?php

$ path = "images/";

$path = $path . basename( $_FILES['imagefile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'], $path)) {

echo "Success uploading ". basename( $_FILES['imagefile']['name']);

} else{

echo "Error when uploading the image.";

}

?>

Save the file as "upload_imagefile.php."
3). Transfer the two files to your server. Test the form by navigating to your form page online.
