Question

Where do i put my PHP SQL query, to insert image information to my database?
I tried just before the echo “success”; however it had no effect.

<!-- Upload Button-->
<div id="upload" >Upload File</div><span id="status" ></span>
<!--List Files-->
<ul id="files" ></ul>

PHP handling

<?php
$uploaddir = './uploads/';
$file = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['uploadfile']['name']); 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'], $file)) {
echo "success";
} else {
echo "error";
}
?>

Javascript section

$(function () {
    var btnUpload = $('#upload');
    var status = $('#status');
    new AjaxUpload(btnUpload, {
        action: 'upload-file.php',
        //Name of the file input box
        name: 'uploadfile',
        onSubmit: function (file, ext) {
            if (!(ext && /^(jpg|png|jpeg|gif)$/.test(ext))) {
                // check for valid file extension
                status.text('Only JPG, PNG or GIF files are allowed');
                return false;
            }
            status.text('Uploading...');
        },
        onComplete: function (file, response) {
            //On completion clear the status
            status.text('');
            //Add uploaded file to list
            if (response === "success") {
                $('<li></li>').appendTo('#files').html('<img src="./uploads/' + file + '" alt="" /><br />' + file).addClass('success');
            } else {
                $('<li></li>').appendTo('#files').text(file).addClass('error');
            }
        }
    });
});

The query should be right before success echo, so you have to verify what is returning to you the move_uploaded_file method.

Verify if ./upload/ is the right path and if you have read/write access (0777) on this directory.

Also make sure that you’re connected to database:

<?php 

    $conn = mysql_connect("HOST","USER","PASSWORD");
    $db = mysql_select_db("DB_NAME");

    $uploaddir = './uploads/'; 
    $file = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['uploadfile']['name']);  

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'], $file)) { 
        mysql_query("INSERT INTO photos VALUES ('your_values')");
        echo "success"; 
    } else { 
        echo "error"; 
    } 
 ?>
