I am trying to insert file name in database in php. And file will move to CV folder. I used a function to reneme that file.It does not work .

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="file" required>
    <input type="submit" name="job_post" value="Submit">
</form>

PHP

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
    function getFileName($file)
    {
      return date('mdhms'). '.' . $file->extension();
    }
  $f_name= $_POST['file'];
  $filename = getFileName($f_name);
  move(base_path('cv'), $filename); 
  $job_post_sql="INSERT INTO applications (cv,flag) VALUES ('$filename','1')";
  $job_post_sql_result=mysqli_query($con,$job_post_sql);
}

    Use php functions move_uploaded_file() and the $_FILES Variable. This link will help you: http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php – Oliver Jan 18 '18 at 09:54

Use $_FILES["file"]["name"] to get name of uploaded file.

$name = $_FILES["file"]["name"];

Then you can rename file name:

$filename = date('mdhms').$name;

To move the file to your folder:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $folder);
