UPLOAD AND INSERT IMAGE INTO MYSQL DATABASE USING HTML SQL PHP
This tutorial shows how to upload image into mysql database using php. Here php is used as a server side scripting language, or a back end programming language. The image is saved in a folder and the image path uploaded in a varchar column in mysql database. So to display the image you just point to its path using the path saved in the database as text.

if(isset($_POST['uploadfilesub'])) {
//declaring variables
$filename = $_FILES['uploadfile']['name'];
$filetmpname = $_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'];
//folder where images will be uploaded
$folder = 'imagesuploadedf/';
//function for saving the uploaded images in a specific folder
move_uploaded_file($filetmpname, $folder.$filename);

$sql = "INSERT INTO `uploadedimage` (`imagename`) VALUES ('$filename')";
$qry = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
