Upload an image and newsTitle related to image PHP - php

Question

I need to upload an image and add it to my slideshow and give it related newsTitle in front of my uploaded picture. I'm a new in PHP and trying to learn how to send data from my admin.php file to my index.php file and add more image with a <form> in html.
My problem is that I can upload images but can't get my newsTitle printed to my home page which is index.php.
This is my PHP code in index.php:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['send_object'])) {
$file_name = $_FILES['image']['name'];
$file_type = $_FILES['image']['type'];
$file_tmp_name = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
//$newsTitle = $_POST['newsTitle'];
$newsImage = $_POST['newsImage'];
echo '<h2><?php echo 'htmlspecialchars($_POST['newsImage']);'';
echo'<h2'.'>'.htmlspecialchars($newsImage["newsImage"]).'</h2>';
if (move_uploaded_file($file_tmp_name,"uploader/$file_name")) {
}
}
$folder = "uploader/";
if (is_dir($folder)) {
if($handle = opendir($folder)) {
while (($file = readdir($handle)) != false) {
if ($file ==='.' || $file=== '..') continue;
echo '<img class="slider mySlides" width="100" src="uploader/'.$file.'" alt="">';
}
closedir($handle);
}
}
?>
This is my html code in admin.php:
<form action="index.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<br><br>
<tr>
<td> NewsTitle: </td>
<td> <input type="text" name="newsTitle" placeholder="newsTitle"> </td>
</tr>
<br><br>
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="image">
<br><br>
<br><br>
NewsText: <textarea name="newsImage" placeholder="newsImage" rows="5" cols="40"></textarea>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send" name="send_object">
</form>
I'm trying to do this without connection to the database, just to my apache server. I have tried with another global variable $_REQUEST but it didn't work. What I know it can use for $_POST , $_GET and $_COOKIES

Firstly, if you are trying to make each news with a text you collect it separately with the $_POST , but note once you refresh the page the parameters are gone cause the form processes everything so there is no space for output in text but if you use the get the parameters remain because you are not storing both the post method and get method in the database. Try this
<?php
if (isset($_POST['send_object'])) {
$file_name = $_FILES['image']['name'];
$file_type = $_FILES['image']['type'];
$file_tmp_name = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
//$newsTitle = $_POST['newsTitle'];
if (move_uploaded_file($file_tmp_name,"uploader/$file_name")) {
}
}
$folder = "uploader/";
if (is_dir($folder)) {
if($handle = opendir($folder)) {
while (($file = readdir($handle)) != false) {
if ($file ==='.' || $file=== '..') continue;
echo '<img class="slider mySlides" width="100" src="uploader/'.$file.'" alt="">';
}
closedir($handle);
}
}
?>
<?php
$newsImage = $_POST['newsImage'];
//this would give a parse error echo '<h2><?php echo 'htmlspecialchars($_POST['newsImage']);'';
try
echo <?php echo $newsimage; ?>
?>
