<div class="container">

define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'learn');
$db = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER,DB_USERNAME,DB_PASSWORD,DB_DATABASE);
if(isset($_POST) && !empty($_FILES['image']['name'])){
$name = $_FILES['image']['name'];
list($txt, $ext) = explode(".", $name);
$image_name = time().".".$ext;
$tmp = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
if(move_uploaded_file($tmp, 'upload/'.$image_name)){
mysqli_query($db,"INSERT INTO items (title)
VALUES ('".$image_name."')");
echo "<img width='200px' src='upload/".$image_name."' class='preview'>";
