PHP File Upload :– In this tutorial you will see how to upload a file on remote server.You can upload any kind of file like images, videos, ZIP files, Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, as well as executables files and a wide range of other file types.
We have given the best suitable example for understanding file uploading approach in detail.
PHP $_FILES:
The PHP global $_FILES contains all the information of file. By the help of $_FILES global, we can get file name, file type, file size, temp file name and errors associated with file.
For example $_FILES[‘filename’][‘tmp_name’] returns temporary file’s folder where it will store i.e. c://xampp?temp.
move_uploaded_file() function:
Most oftenly when we upload file ;it will go into temp folder in c://xampp//temp and now move_uploaded_file() function comes into picture and sends file from temp folder to remote server.
In below example one thing to remember is that we have created a folder named “uploads” where our jellyfish.jpg file will be uploaded.
