<?php
include('config3.php'); 
 
if($_POST)
// $_FILES["file"]["error"] is HTTP File Upload variables $_FILES["file"] "file" is the name of input field you have in form tag.
 
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
// if there is error in file uploading 
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
 
}
else
{
// check if file already exit in "images" folder.
if (file_exists("uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{  
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],"uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
// If file has uploaded successfully, store its name in data base
$query_image = "INSERT into acc_images (image, status, acc_id) values ('".$_FILES['file']['name']."', 'display','')";
if(mysql_query($query_image))
{
}
}
}
 
 
}
 
$query_image = "SELECT * FROM acc_images acc_ id='$id'";
 
 $result = mysql_query($query_image);
 if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
 {
   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

Please use code tags and format your code properly.

 

<?php
include('config3.php');

if ($_POST) {
// $_FILES["file"]["error"] is HTTP File Upload variables $_FILES["file"] "file" is the name of input field you have in form tag.

    if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
// if there is error in file uploading 
        echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";

    } else {
// check if file already exit in "images" folder.
        if (file_exists("uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
            echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
        } else {
            if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
// If file has uploaded successfully, store its name in data base
                $query_image = "INSERT into acc_images (image, status, acc_id) values ('" . $_FILES['file']['name'] . "', 'display','')";
                if (mysql_query($query_image)) {
                }
            }
        }


    }

    $query_image = "SELECT * FROM acc_images acc_ id='$id'";

    $result = mysql_query($query_image);
    if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
            echo '<img alt="" src="uploads/' . $row["image"] . '">';
        }
    }
    echo 'File name not found in database';

Your code doesn't work because you're not actually storing the file in the file system. Once a file is uploaded in PHP, it is stored in a temporary location until the script is done executing, where it is then deleted. You need to copy the file to a permanent location after it is uploaded.

 

Take a look at move_uploaded_file()
