Upload image file to server, store name in MySQL DB - php

Question

I'm trying to create a file upload only my current script doesn't seem to work as I believe it should.
I've managed to get the data saved in the MySQL table okay but I can't seem to get the file into the 'uploads' directory?
if(isset($_POST['new']) && $_POST['new']==1){
$folder = "uploads/";
$upload_image = $folder . basename($_FILES["image1"]["name"]);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $upload_image);
$trn_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$brand =$_REQUEST['brand'];
$user =$_SESSION["username"];
$model = $_REQUEST['model'];
$serial =$_REQUEST['serial'];
$purchasedate = $_REQUEST['purchasedate'];
$img1 =$_REQUEST['image1'];
$ins_query="insert into table
(`user`,`trn_date`,`brand`,`model`,`serial`,`purchasedate`,`image1`)values
('$user','$trn_date','$brand','$model','$serial','$purchasedate','$img1')";
mysqli_query($con,$ins_query)
or die(mysql_error());
$status = "added successfully.
</br></br><a href='home.php'>home</a>";
}

Answer 1

$upload_image = $folder . basename($_FILES["image1"]["name"]);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image1"]["tmp_name"], $upload_image);

Answer 2

What if trying directly what the doc said ;)
$uploads_dir = '/uploads';//try over 'uploads' too or create a 'uploads' folder in you app_root
foreach ($_FILES["image1"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["image1"]["tmp_name"][$key];
$name = $_FILES["image1"]["name"][$key];
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploads_dir/$name");
}
}

I have found an issue in your code.
$folder = "uploads/";
$upload_image = $folder . basename($_FILES["image1"]["name"]);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $upload_image);
In this case the file does not have the extension
$folder = "uploads/";
$ext = explode('.', basename( $_FILES['image1']['name']));
$upload_image = $folder . basename($_FILES["image1"]["name"].$ext);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image1"]["tmp_name"], $upload_image);
The uploads folder is in the same directory that is the php script?
You also can verify if the file was correctly moved doing the following test
if (file_exists($upload_image)){
echo "true";
}
Provide a file upload validation before uploading into server it will prevent server from malicious files
