Simple image upload with php not working

Question

I want to upload an image to the folder /images and keep its name

This is what i got:

html

<form action="script.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   <input type="file" name="mynewimage"> 
   <input type="submit">
</form>

php

if (!empty($_FILES['mynewimage']['name'])) {
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['mynewimage']['tmp_name'], "images/" . $_FILES["mynewimage"]["name"]);
}

/images folder is 777

error says: UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE

Value: 4; No file was uploaded.

You should check for uploading errors:

if (isset($_FILES['mynewimage']) && $_FILES['mynewimage']['error']==0) {
    ....
}else{
    die('Error uploading, code '.$_FILES['mynewimage']['error']);
}

Check error codes here.

it says: UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE Value: 4; No file was uploaded.. what does no file mean?

That means the file hasn't arrived. Maybe the file is too big, php usually have a default 2MB limit. Try adding ths at the beginning of your PHP script: ini_set('upload_max_filesize','32M');
