PHP Image Upload and Display

[robjames123]

Hello there,

 

I'm a bit of an amateur with coding. I have a site setup and I'm trying to set something up to allow a user to upload an image and then for it to be displayed in a frame. I'm in the process of testing it before included it within my site.

 

I have a html page with a Browse facility which works fine, and an Upload button which calls upon PHP script but when it is called when I press the Upload button I am prompted to save the PHP file and nothing is uploaded into an allocated IMG folder I have setup and therefore nothing is displayed.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 

Rob James

Are you running your site through a web server that supports PHP? If you're developing locally you can't just double-click on a file to open it in the browser, you need to use a web server which means you need to use a HTTP URL to access the pages. The web server is what executes the PHP code.
