File or Images Upload in PHP

Some lines of code uses through uploaded single and multiple file, like images, videos, ZIP files, Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, as well as executables files and a wide range of other file types

First Create The HTML Form

Example :-

index.html

<form action="uploader.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">  
    Select File:  
    <input type="file" name="fileToUpload"/>  
    <input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit"/>  
</form>  

uploader.php

<?php  
$target_path = "e:/";  
$target_path = $target_path.basename( $_FILES['fileToUpload']['name']);   
  
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileToUpload']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {  
    echo "File uploaded successfully!";  
} else{  
    echo "Sorry, file not uploaded, please try again!";  
}  
?>  

Output

move_uploaded_file() function

move_uploaded_file() function moves the uploaded file to a new location. The move_uploaded_file() function checks internally if the file is uploaded thorough the POST request.
