How do i store an image that was uploaded through a form , permanently on a page .

Question

I understand that i have to use local storage but i dont know how to go about it?
This is the important part of the code;

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$file = $_FILES['file'];

$fileName = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$fileTmpName = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['file']['size'];
$fileError = $_FILES['file']['error'];
$fileType = $_FILES['file']['type'];

$fileExt = explode('.',$fileName);
$fileActualExt = strtolower(end($fileExt));

$allowed = array('jpg' , 'jpeg' , 'png' , 'pdf');

if(in_array($fileActualExt,$allowed)){
if($fileError === 0){
if($fileSize<1000000){
$fileNameNew = uniqid('',true).".".$fileActualExt;
$fileDestination = 'uploads/'.$fileNameNew;
move_uploaded_file($fileTmpName, $fileDestination);

}else{
echo "Your file is too big!";
}
}else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file";
}
}else{
echo "You cannot upload files of this type!";
}
}

?>
<a href=""><img src="<?php echo $fileDestination;?>" width="250" height="250"/></a>

Answer 1

Does the scandir function permanently store the image on the page? as in when i reload the page, the image is still there.

Answer 2

How do i rephrase this. My code works, i can add an image BUT i want to store the image permanently on the page so that when the page is reloaded , the image is still there because it is stored. Hence, the solution you gave me, does it solve the storage problem?

Answer 3

You can display all your images with scandir() function.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.scandir.php

$images = scandir("uploads");

for($a = 2; $a < count($images); $a++) {
echo "<img src='uploads/" . $images[$a] . "' />";
}

So you can see all your uploaded images on your page

I hope that's what you meant

Answer 4

So you meant that you want to write it into the php file?
