Answer 1

best way to upload images i think would be to copy an image and store inside a folder and then store the new location of image into a databse.

to move the file we can use move_uploaded_file function

$oldpath = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$newpath ="new_folder_location/".$_FILES['image']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($oldpath, $newpath);
