File upload in php

Simple way to upload file using php.

 

 

//HTML code

<input type="file" required="" name="avatarUrl"/>
 

//On action page code where form is being submitted.

if($_FILES['avatarUrl']['name']!='') {
          
          $fileTmpPath = $_FILES['avatarUrl']['tmp_name'];
          $fileName = $_FILES['avatarUrl']['name'];
          $fileSize = $_FILES['avatarUrl']['size'];
          $fileType = $_FILES['avatarUrl']['type'];
          $fileNameCmps = explode(".", $fileName);
          $fileExtension = strtolower(end($fileNameCmps));

           $dateMin = date('Ymdhms');
          $rand = $dateMin;
          $newFileName = $rand.$fileName.'.'.$fileExtension;

          //Add directory path where you want to upload files. Here in this case its in member_assets folder
          $uploadFileDir = 'member_assets/';
          $dest_path = $uploadFileDir . $newFileName;

          move_uploaded_file($fileTmpPath, $dest_path);
 } 

*Note:

1. Make sure you have added the enctype="multipart/form-data" to the form.

Eg. <form action="actionPagePath.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
