    <p>I have a php file that uploads images like jpegs and png onto a folder called uploads that is stored on the apache server and in the same location as the php file. </p> <p>I have checked the code of both the HTML and the PHP and both seem to be perfectly fine, however whenever I try to upload a file I always get an error message and the file doesn't get uploaded. </p> <p>It would be much appreciated if someone with more experience than me can look at my code and tell me why it is behaving in this manner. </p> <p>Here is the HTML form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- To change this template, choose Tools | Templates and open the template in the editor. --&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Upload Your File&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;?php // put your code here ?&gt; &lt;form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="fileHandler.php"&gt; Select File: &lt;input name="uploaded_file" type="file"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Upload"/&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>and here is the PHP file that is executed when the form is submitted:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. * PHP file that uploads files and handles any errors that may occur * when the file is being uploaded.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
