How to upload the image file in php

Question

when user upload the image or doc. Image or doc is not getting stored in upload folder but remaining fields are successfully inserted in the database. I want to store it in the upload folder.

This issue is impossible to help you with without seeing the code performing the upload. Please edit it into your post. At a wild guess, check the file permissions on the folder being uploaded to. — Bad Wolf, Aug 13 '13 at 05:10
Several great tutorials exist on this: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp — FThompson, Aug 13 '13 at 05:10
Just like trying to program the time on a VCR, you'll need [**the manual**](http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php) — Funk Forty Niner, Aug 13 '13 at 05:13
The OP asked [**a similar question**](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18189812/how-to-show-the-image-in-root-directory-filewampserver), which ended up being "dead in the water". As will this one. *"Some are just not cut out to code."* — Funk Forty Niner, Aug 13 '13 at 05:45

Please see

if(isset($_REQUEST['submit'])){  
 $file=$_FILES['myfile']['name'];
 $path="PATH YOUR DIRECTORY";

 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'],$path.$file))
 {
   echo "FILE UPLOAD SUCCESSFULLY";
 }
 else{
   echo "FAILED";
 }

}

Using enctype in your <form> attribute otherwise your file not uploading in your server.

enctype="multipart/form-data"

HTML Code

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
File: <input type="file" name="myfile" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

This is ok but you are unable to show the error message if you write code in Rules.php page. Better to write to write in Application.php page. Thanks. – Chinmay235 Aug 13 '13 at 12:30
