php how to store a image in the folder?

@Sinnbeck want.

@Shivamyadav but you didn't try adding it?

move_uploaded_file($imageTemp, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/students/'. $imageName);

@Sinnbeck not uploading. 🥺

@Shivamyadav then try debugging your code. var_dump($someVariable);exit;

This is a simple version of dd()

@Sinnbeck code

 $file = move_uploaded_file($imageTemp, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/' . $imageName);
        echo var_dump($file);
        die();

error Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Data too long for column 'image' at row 1

@Shivamyadav that error is related to mysql, but you don't show any mysql code? And the error means that you are trying to put too long a string in the image column. Be sure that it's the filename and not the actual image

@Sinnbeck its telling me now this bool(false) that means file is not uploading..🥺

@Shivamyadav yes. Then debug it? Use the debugger to check the content of $_FILES. And the path. And so on an so on

And double check that the images folder exists

@Sinnbeck which debugger sir, can u suggest me a any browser debugger?

@Shivamyadav this var_dump($someVariable);exit;

You can move it to your own dd() function if you want

@Sinnbeck here it is

["image"]=>
  array(6) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(15) "shivam-dell.jpg"
    ["full_path"]=>
    string(15) "shivam-dell.jpg"
    ["type"]=>
    string(10) "image/jpeg"
    ["tmp_name"]=>
    string(45) "C:\Users\shiva\AppData\Local\Temp\php22DE.tmp"
    ["error"]=>
    int(0)
    ["size"]=>
    int(5300)
  }

@Shivamyadav and you checked the other variables? And checked that /images exist? And $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is the root of your project?

Also if you get false,, then try

var_dump($_FILES["image"]["error"]);exit;

This should give you an integer

@Sinnbeck yea sir i have doubled checked it these above mentioned things are fine.

@Shivamyadav ok. What integer do you get?

@Sinnbeck yea its returning false by (zero);

@Shivamyadav 0 means no error? (in this case 0 does not mean false. It's the error code. 0 = no error)

Try this

 $file = move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"], $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/' . $imageName);
        echo var_dump($file, $_FILES["image"]["error"]);
        die();

@Sinnbeck error is zero and move uploaded is true now.. 😁 bool(true) int(0)

@Shivamyadav sweet! Then it works now. Maybe it failed due to the temporary variable.

@Sinnbeck temporary variable means which variable to point?

@Shivamyadav like this

$file = move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"], $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/' . $imageName); //works

$file = move_uploaded_file($imageTemp, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/' . $imageName); //does not work
