Saving image name in photo upload

PHP
1

I’m still confuse if I need to save my image in binary form inside my database or I’ll just save it in a folder and save the name of my image of my database. For now I’ll stick to save the name of my image.

Here is my code:


<?php
include'../connection/connect-db.php';

echo $id = $_GET['ID'];
	
$uploaddir = '../upload/';
$file = $uploaddir ."student_".basename($_FILES['uploadfile']['name']);
$file_name = "student_".$_FILES['uploadfile']['name'];

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'], $file))
	{
	$query = mysql_query("UPDATE tbl_student
				    SET stud_Image= '$file_name'
				  WHERE id = '$id'"	) or die (mysql_error());
	echo "success";
	} else {
	echo "error";
	
}
?>

I managed to save the image in a folder. My problem is I can’t save the name in my database.

Any help will do.
