My program is supposed to create a folder for the uploaded images on the directory but gives this warning:

mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists in C:\XAMP\xampp\htdocs\gallery\uploader3.php on line 26

Here is the code:

<html>
<head>
<title> Sample1  - File Upload on Directory </title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<form action="uploader3.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
        Create an Album (limited to 10 images): <br />
    <input type="file" name="uploadedfile[]"  /><br />
    <input type="file" name="uploadedfile[]"  /><br />
    <input type="file" name="uploadedfile[]"  /><br />
    <input type="file" name="uploadedfile[]"  /><br />
    <input type="file" name="uploadedfile[]"  /><br />
    <input type="file" name="uploadedfile[]"  /><br />

    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="Upload File"   />
</form>
</div>
<?php 
$target_path = "uploads1/";
if(!mkdir($target_path))
{
    die('Failed to create folders...');
}
else
{
    for($count = 0; $count < count($_FILES['uploadedfile']); $count++)
    {
        $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'][$count]); 

        if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'][$count], $target_path)) 
        {
            echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'][$count]). 
        " has been uploaded";
        } 
        else{
        echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
        }
    }
}

?>

    Modify your codes below:

    if(!mkdir($target_path))
{
    die('Failed to create folders...');
}

    to:

    if(!file_exist($target_path)) {
  if(!mkdir($target_path))
  {
      die('Failed to create folders...');
  }
}

    That will check the folder first, if it’s already exist, no need to create it again.

    for your 2nd question, you need to store the uploaded image names to somewhere ( i guess DB is a good choice), Then, you can show them anywhere you want.
    Or you can use below codes to search in folder and display them:

    $image_files = glob("uploads1/*.jpg");
foreach($image_files as $img) {
    echo "<img src='".$img."' /><br/>";
}
