Answer 1

i assumed you have already students in you database and change their profil image

a user must be logged in to upload images so you will use something like $_SESSION[‘studentid’]

<?php
$path = "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],$path);

$sql = "UPDATE students SET image = '".$path."' WHERE id = ".$_SESSION['studentid'];
mysql_query($sql) OR die(mysql_error());

?>

later on if you want to display the user image use this query

<?php

$sql = "SELECT image FROM students WHERE id = ".$_SESSION['studentid'];
$result = mysql_query($sql) OR die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

echo $row['image'];
?>
