We have tested it in local machine, it works perfect.
You may check file permission for the target folder.

please help me.

This link will help. Nevertheless, if you will check out , it is one of the options where control panel options is there on XP.
http://superuser.com/questions/111168/file-permissions-in-windows-xp

I do not have a XP machine here. Please try to find out.

Because you are experienced in Linux, and find difficulties in windows environment. You may not give priorities on windows.

Yes - On web server - from hosting provider the file permission icons is easy to find, else please take the help of the web hosting provider.

Please take the help of the medium like google,yahoo search engines, they will help you always.

Hi There here is the solution:

<?php //This is the directory where images will be saved $target = "C:/Tomcat 6.0/webapps/fphp/image/"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES); //This gets all the other information from the form $name=$_POST; $email=$_POST; $phone=$_POST; $pic=($_FILES); // Connects to your Database mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "root") or die(mysql_error()) ; mysql_select_db("student") or die(mysql_error()) ; //Writes the information to the database mysql_query("INSERT INTO `employees` VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$phone', '$pic')") ; //Writes the photo to the server if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES, $target)) { //Tells you if its all ok echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; } else { //Gives and error if its not echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } ?>

<?php

//This is the directory where images will be saved
$target = "C:/download/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES);

//This gets all the other information from the form
$name=$_POST;
$email=$_POST;
$phone=$_POST;
$pic=($_FILES);

// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()) ;
mysql_select_db("daniweb") or die(mysql_error()) ;

$path=$target;
//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `employees`(`employeeid`, `name`, `email`, `phone`, `photo`) VALUES (0,'$name', '$email', '$phone', '$path')") ;

//Writes the photo to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES, $target))
{

//Tells you if its all ok
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";
}
else {

//Gives and error if its not
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
?>

Thank expert, i used the code but it only insert the directory
------C:/download/----- in the database while other columns returns null ie empty. Also when i check the directory------C:/download/------
no image were uploaded am confused of what to do

[siamsoft]

Plz note that you need to add the fieldname [employeeid] as auto increment then it will be ok. You can try to "echo $path" to ensure that the directory name and the filename are both in the variable $path before insertion in the table employee. Make sure that you have created the folder c:\download. On my PC everything is working fine.
Try it once more and let me know.
