    if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
        $imagename=$_FILES["iamge"]["name"]; 
        $imagetmp=addslashes (file_get_contents($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']));
        $insert_image="INSERT INTO images VALUES('$imagetmp','$imagename')";
        mysqli_query($link,$insert_image);
    }
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <Title>HomePage</Title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"  href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<form action="accept-file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Your Image: <input type="file" name="image" size="25" />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

`iamge` != `image` and is a major reason why your code failed. — Funk Forty Niner, Sep 01 '16 at 12:19

<form action="?"

[consider](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8395269/what-do-form-action-and-form-method-post-action-do), `#` better than `?` – cske Sep 01 '16 at 12:20

Your form has "accept-file.php" set as action:

<form action="accept-file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

This is where the form data will be sent to via the set method (POST in this case) and using the given encoding type.

After you click on "submit" your browser will call this script, which in your case does not exist. Therefore your webserver will return the error message instead of handling the upload.

To make it work you need to change the action to the filename of your script, which you have posted above.
