connection.php

In this first step we write a code which are use for establishing a database connection.
we have our test_db database.
and the username and password are same root.

<?php 
$db_con= mysqli_connect("localhost","root","root","test_db");
?>

index.php

in this page we are design a html form which will use to take images from local system . 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <table width="100%">
        <tr>
            <td>Select Photo (one or multiple):</td>
            <td><input type="file" name="files[]" multiple/></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2" align="center">Note: Supported image format: .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Create Gallery" id="selectedButton"/></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

In the upload.php page we will fetch images from local system and check the extensions of all images and store inside the storage folder.

upload.php

<?php extract($_POST);
$error=array();
$extension=array("jpeg","jpg","png","gif");
foreach($_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"] as $key=>$tmp_name) {
    $file_name=$_FILES["files"]["name"][$key];
    $file_tmp=$_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"][$key];
    $ext=pathinfo($file_name,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

    if(in_array($ext,$extension)) {
        if(!file_exists("storage/".$txtGalleryName."/".$file_name)) {
            move_uploaded_file($file_tmp=$_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"][$key],"photo_gallery/".$txtGalleryName."/".$file_name);
        }
        else {
            $filename=basename($file_name,$ext);
            $newFileName=$filename.time().".".$ext;
            move_uploaded_file($file_tmp=$_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"][$key],"photo_gallery/".$txtGalleryName."/".$newFileName);
        }
    }
    else {
        array_push($error,"$file_name, ");
    }
} 
?>
