i have a page for user registration where i a form with a image tag to it.
i want the user to fill the form but as soon as he uploads the image i want the image uploaded to be displayed on the image tag.
Then i want all these form values+image to be stored in the database.
or the form values on database and the image file somewhere on the disk.
i am attaching the screenshot.
I am using MySQl for database. and PHP
here is the page code

I took a look at the script you chosen,
The first thing you are asking is done here ,

move_uploaded_file($pic['tmp_name'], $upload_dir.$pic['name'])

So…
http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php
(second argument , destination)
Of course in a quick pick of that script I didn’t shaw anything about security, or maybe there is somewhere on that (you could start from http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/ss/php_file_upload.htm ).

The second thing you ask (to save the image in a MySql table) you must have reason to do that. I believe that there are really very few cases that this has a meaning , so few that I wouldn’t recommended it at all. If you insist on that you could google about it …

Of course what you described is more complicated than the code provided, but this is not the problem, you can’t upload images through a real AJAX (theory sais that you could using techniques in few browsers) , that is the real problem, you could use iframes and javascript form manipulation (e.g. http://www.openjs.com/articles/ajax/ajax_file_upload/ ) on that or the well know SWFUpload (http://swfupload.org/ ).

You are Amazing man.....Thanks :D
i wanted to save the images of the student along with the other details..
but now i think i should store it on the disk itself.
I did it finally.
I stored the images according to the ""Enrollment No."" of students.... :D
