build upload.php and success.php..

upload.php contains:

<?php

/// For the following details,
/// please contact your server vendor

$hostname='localhost'; //// specify host, i.e. 'localhost'
$user='***********'; //// specify username
$pass='***********'; //// specify password
$dbase='uploads'; //// specify database name
$connection = mysql_connect("$hostname" , "$user" , "$pass")
or die …

change the code according to this, i forget to negate this example:
if(strstr($_FILES["f_Filename"]["type"] , "image")==false)
			$error[]="File needed to be an image.";

you need to create 'images' folder, where the images will be uploaded. If you're testing on a webserver, lets set its permission at least to 744

this is the demo code, wthout the SQL insert.

images folder (whitespace should not be placed on the begining of the folder name.)

change: $name=$_FILES["file1"]["name"]; to: $name=basename($_FILES["file1"]["name"]); And change this: $f_Filename=mysql_real_escape_string("images/" .$_FILES["file1"]["name"]); into: $f_Filename=mysql_real_escape_string("images/" .basename($_FILES["file1"]["name"]) ); basename was missing from your code.

        mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

        }
        else
        print "Please check these errors:<br />" . implode("<br />" , $error);

        /*  table create code!
        CREATE TABLE `images` (

            `Filename` VARCHAR( 255 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL
          ,`imageid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`imageid`)

        */
} //if submit has pressed!

echo "<form name=\"aaaa\" method=\"post\"  enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"upload.php\">";
echo 'File<input name="f_Filename" type="file"><br />'."\n";;
echo '<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit">';
print '</form>';

?>

success.php will list the images from the images table.
