Saving input file into another folder in php

Question

I am beginner with php.

I found out that the best tool to work with MySQL database and files is php.

So I need to get file from 'file_name'

<input type=file name="file_name">

and to save this file into another place. For example at d:/folder/

Tell me please how can I do it in php. Or there is another way to solve this issue

$target_dir = "uploads/"; // folder path
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["file_name"]);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file);

follow this tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp

Make sure to add enctype="multipart/form-data" in html form tag. Otherwise you won't get $_FILE arr
