To implement image upload code in your web projects you need to create two file one for taking image as input and another for php script to upload image in server.

  •  file.html     : This file will ask user to browse and select image from his system.
  •  upload.php  : This file will check the file format and size and then it will upload it to server.

Code for file.html:

<html>
<body>

<form action="upload.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>

CODE FOR UPLOAD.PHP:

<style>
.sucess{
color:#088A08;
}
.error{
color:red;
}
</style>

<?php
$file_exts = array("jpg", "bmp", "jpeg", "gif", "png");
$upload_exts = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 2000000)
&& in_array($upload_exts, $file_exts))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";
// Enter your path to upload file here
if (file_exists("c:\wamp\www\upload/newupload/" .
$_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo "<div class='error'>"."(".$_FILES["file"]["name"].")".
" already exists. "."</div>";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"c:\wamp\www\upload/newupload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "<div class='sucess'>"."Stored in: " .
"c:\wamp\www\upload/newupload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]."</div>";
}
}
}
else
{
echo "<div class='error'>Invalid file</div>";
}
?>

Note: I tested thsi script on my local WAMP server so the path given is “c:\wamp\www\upload/newupload/”. You will have to change this path with your uploading directory path on your server.

This is a simple tutorial to upload file. I will post next tutorial to upload file using jQuery and ajax for better performance.

  5. Hi Sanjeev

    Nice way to write the codes, simple and easy to implement.

    However I need one help .. how can i upload the image with unique id using your codes.

    unique id will be something like this : date(“Ymdhis”);

    $orderid = str_replace(“.”, “”, “$orderid”);
