If user upload any file other than image code will print an error. Then i checked size of image which should not more than 500kb. $breakImgName is used to break the image name. $newFileName is used to create new image name by using strotime and str_replace function. $targetPath variable holds the new image path. move_uploaded_file function is used to move image from temporary storage to the targeted path. If image moved properly then image name is saving to the images table.
