Why do my uploaded files not exist in my filesystem and are not returned by my PHP commands? -

i'm having trouble creating form upload , store images.

after uploading (submitting form), print_r($files) function:

array ( [image] => array ( [name] => 4hfoetn.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => c:\windows\temp\php151f.tmp [error] => 0 [size] => 70107 ) )

however, when navigating c:\windows\temp\ in file browser, file not exist.

furthermore, when run:

$tmp_image_dir = basename($_files['image']['tmp_name']); echo "<img src=\"" . $tmp_image_dir . "\">" . "<br>"; 

no image shows up.

also, when run:

$image_dir = "/images/"; $image_dir = $image_dir . basename($_files['image']['name']); if(move_uploaded_file($_files['image']['tmp_name'], $image_dir)) echo "image uploaded successfully" . "<br>"; 

i not readout of "image uploaded successfully"

then, pretty obviously, when run:

echo "<img src=\"" . $image_dir . "\">" . "<br> 

i image placeholder no image.

make sure $image_dir exists, if not create mkdir or manually.
dont need use basename in $_files["image"]["name"] since basename of file.

try below code

<?php   $image_dir  = "images/";   if ( !file_exists( $image_dir ) ) {     mkdir( $image_dir, 0755 );   }   $image_dir  = $image_dir.$_files["image"]["name"];   if ( move_uploaded_file( $_files["image"]["tmp_name"], $image_dir ) ) {     echo "image uploaded successfully<br>";   }   echo '<img src="'.$image_dir.'">'; ?>
