`$fname` is not defined in your code. `$fname` replace to `$filename` — iamafish, Mar 04 '23 at 15:58
i have forgot to write it , it is defined on top with $fname = "photo"; — Saddam Hussain Chisti, Mar 04 '23 at 16:06
It is taking the root folder path, and path is saving in the sql. but still image is not saving in the specific folder. — Saddam Hussain Chisti, Mar 05 '23 at 03:07
