title: Registration form - upload image
body: <p>I'm working on a registration form for a website, I'm trying to upload a photo to the server and pass the file path on to the database.</p>
  
  <p>This is probably just a simple issue, as i'm quite the beginner to php and mysql. </p>
  
  <p>Here's my standard form, which we'll call <strong>register.php</strong>. I cut out all other input than the image.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form name="reg" action="code_exec.php" onsubmit="return validateForm()" method="post"&gt;
      &lt;input type="file" id="inputImage" Name="photo"&gt;
      &lt;button class="btn btn-large btn-success" type="submit"&gt;Register&lt;/button&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the execution file, which we'll call <strong>code_exec.php</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  session_start();
  include('connection.php');
  
  $fname = $_POST['fname'];
  $lname = $_POST['lname'];
  $mname = $_POST['mname'];
  $address = $_POST['address'];
  $contact = $_POST['contact'];
  $pic = $_POST['pic'];
  $username = $_POST['username'];
  $password = $_POST['password'];
  $skype = $_POST['skype'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  
  //This is the directory where images will be saved 
  $target = "upload/"; 
  $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']); 
  
  //This gets all the other information from the form 
  $pic = ($_FILES['photo']['name']); 
  
  //Writes the photo to the server 
  if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)) { 
      //Tells you if its all ok 
      echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; 
  } else { 
      //Gives an error if its not 
      echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
  } 
  
  mysql_query("INSERT INTO member(fname, lname, gender, address, contact, picture, username, password, skype, email, photo)VALUES('$fname', '$lname', '$mname', '$address', '$contact', '$pic', '$username', '$password', '$skype', '$email', '$pic')");
  
  header("location: index.php?remarks=success");
  mysql_close($con);
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I find the path of the image file?</p>
