And again, you saved my day! I was already trying to upload files in my project but I always had some issues which doesn't really allowed me to upload any files.
Thank you very much!

I enjoyed the tutorial but I have a question: does this upload the actual image to the database or just the name of the image as a string for the handler to then find in the upload folder? I was hoping to be able to upload the actual image to MySQL.

That was a great tut. You could have also used timestamp for naming your images...

Could you pls make a video, in profile section should show the posted ad details in that admin can delete update ad(selling)🙏

Awesome video Raddy! I have a question about the following code: connection.query('UPDATE user SET profile_image = ? WHERE id = "1"'

This sets the uploaded image file to the user where the id = 1. If there are multiple users with different user ids, is there a way to change the code so it is not only updating the image where the user id = 1?

[thomasgardner]

Hey Raddy, I tried your code and it doesn't seem to upload the image at all.. might want to take another look at this

[akhiill]

Hi instead of images iam trying your code with multiple, when iam testing for file has selected or not, files get selected but not uploading when click on submit, I am getting no files were uploaded

[angerfist]

followed your tutorial but when i try uploading an image with my frontend lets use your example from your code in the samplefile=req.files.samplefile, the server keeps crashing saying req.files.samplefile is undefined but when i test the api route with postman everything works as expected

[aravindmuthu]

Hi, is there any way to store and access the files in a different location from the project folder in the same machine? I wouldn't want to load up an entire library of files to work on a puny project
