Upload video files via PHP and save them in appropriate folder and have a database entry

Question

I want the user to be able to upload video files to my site and I want them arranged in proper folders plus a database entry so that later I can know the person who uploaded each particular file   My HTML form is here    lt form method  post  enctype  multipart form-data  gt       lt div gt  lt  php echo  message    gt  lt  div gt       lt  php echo  max file size tag    gt       lt input type  file  accept  video    ID  fileSelect  runat  server  size  20  name  filename  action   vids file-upload php  gt       lt select name  course  gt           lt option value  select  selected gt Select lt  option gt           lt option value  java  gt Java lt  option gt           lt option value  python  gt Python lt  option gt           lt option value  vb  gt Visual Basic lt  option gt           lt option value  c  gt C C   lt  option gt           lt option value  ruby  gt Ruby lt  option gt       lt  select gt       lt input type  submit  value  Upload  name  submit  gt   lt  form gt    And my PHP is here    lt  php   folder    isset   POST  course      message    1    define  DESTINATION FOLDER     folder    define  MAX FILE SIZE   0       Upload success URL  User will be redirected to this page after upload  define  SUCCESS URL   learn learnbrix com        Allowed file extensions  Will only allow these extensions if not empty     Example   exts   array  avi   mov   doc     exts   array        rename file after upload  false - leave original  true - rename to some unique filename define  RENAME FILE   true     message    renamed      put a string to append to the uploaded file name  after extension      this will reduce the risk of being hacked by uploading potentially unsafe files     sample strings  aaa  my  etc  define  APPEND STRING           message    string append      Need uploads log  Logs would be saved in the MySql database  define  DO LOG   false       MySql data  in case you want to save uploads log  define  DB HOST            host  usually localhost define  DB DATABASE            database name define  DB USERNAME            username define  DB PASSWORD            password     NOTE  when using log  you have to create MySQL table first for this script  Copy-paste following into your MySQL admin tool  like PhpMyAdmin  to create a table If you are on cPanel  then prefix  uploads log on line 205 with your username  so it would be like myusername uploads log  CREATE TABLE  uploads log     log id int 11  unsigned NOT NULL auto increment    log filename varchar 128  default       log size int 10  default 0    log ip varchar 24  default       log
