PHP upload image

Alright I have way to much time invested in this. I am new to PHP programming and trying to grasp the basics, but I am a little lost as of last night I was able to get a PHP form to upload basic data like a name address and stuff to my (MySQL) server.

But today I said let's do the next step which would be an image to the server. I have watched 3 videos on YouTube probably a 100 times just recoping code and trying it in so many different ways.

and still haven't been able to get it.

But long story short: I have a config.php file that connects to the server and here is the the code I'm running on the upload form page:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Upload an image</title>
  </head>
<body>
  <form action="UploadContent.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  File:
    <input type="file" name="image"> <input type="submit" value="Upload">
  </form>
<?php

// connect to database
include"config.php";

// file properties
$file = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];

if (!isset($file))
  echo "Please select a profile pic";
else
{
  $image = addslashes(file_get_content($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']));
  $image_name = addslashes($FILES['image']['name']);
  $image_size = getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);

  if ($image_size==FALSE)
    echo "That isn't a image.";
  else
  {
    $insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO content VALUES ('','','','','','','','','','$image_name','$image',)");
  }
}
?>
  </body>
</html>

The reason for all the '', '', '', '' on the insert line is because I have the name in the 10th field and the image blob in the 11th and all the ones leading up to that are first name, last name and random stuff like that. How can I fix this? It is returning the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function file_get_content() in /home/content/34/9587634/html/WEBPAGE/UploadContent.php on line 22

I don't know what to do.

The code overlooks calling the function move_uploaded_file() which would check whether the indicated file is valid for uploading.

You may wish to review a simple example at:

http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp

You need to add two new file one is index.html, copy and paste the below code and other is imageup.php which will upload your image

 <form action="imageup.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
 <input type="file" name="banner" >
 <input type="submit" value="submit">
 </form>

 imageup.php
 <?php
 $banner=$_FILES['banner']['name']; 
 $expbanner=explode('.',$banner);
 $bannerexptype=$expbanner[1];
 date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Melbourne');
 $date = date('m/d/Yh:i:sa', time());
 $rand=rand(10000,99999);
 $encname=$date.$rand;
 $bannername=md5($encname).'.'.$bannerexptype;
 $bannerpath="uploads/banners/".$bannername;
 move_uploaded_file($_FILES["banner"]["tmp_name"],$bannerpath);
 ?>

The above code will upload your image with encrypted name
