In this post we have simply use Dropzone.js library with PHP from image upload to server. For this first we have import Dropzone css file and javascript library file in our index page.


<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropzone/5.5.1/dropzone.css" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropzone/5.5.1/dropzone.js"></script>

After this we need to write form tag without any form elements, because this library handle other request. Under this


<form action="upload.php" class="dropzone" id="dropzoneFrom">

</form>

Then after we have to write javascript code for initialiaze DropzoneJS library on


Dropzone.options.dropzoneFrom = {
  autoProcessQueue: false,
  acceptedFiles:".png,.jpg,.gif,.bmp,.jpeg",
  init: function(){
   var submitButton = document.querySelector('#submit-all');
   myDropzone = this;
   submitButton.addEventListener("click", function(){
    myDropzone.processQueue();
   });
   this.on("complete", function(){
    if(this.getQueuedFiles().length == 0 && this.getUploadingFiles().length == 0)
    {
     var _this = this;
     _this.removeAllFiles();
    }
    list_image();
   });
  },
 };

For display uploaded image on webpage after uploading complete, for this we have make on function, this function will fetch all images from upload folder and display on web page.


function list_image()
 {
  $.ajax({
   url:"upload.php",
   success:function(data){
    $('#preview').html(data);
   }
  });
 }

Same way we want to remove any image from server side, for this also we have define one remove button with each image. We have to click on that remove button and image will be deleted from folder and after this it will display remaining images on web page.


$(document).on('click', '.remove_image', function(){
  var name = $(this).attr('id');
  $.ajax({
   url:"upload.php",
   method:"POST",
   data:{name:name},
   success:function(data)
   {
    list_image();
   }
  })
 });

Below code is used for server side upload image, fetch image from folder and remove image from server.


<?php

//upload.php

$folder_name = 'upload/';

if(!empty($_FILES))
{
 $temp_file = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
 $location = $folder_name . $_FILES['file']['name'];
 move_uploaded_file($temp_file, $location);
}

if(isset($_POST["name"]))
{
 $filename = $folder_name.$_POST["name"];
 unlink($filename);
}

$result = array();

$files = scandir('upload');

$output = '<div class="row">';

if(false !== $files)
{
 foreach($files as $file)
 {
  if('.' !=  $file && '..' != $file)
  {
   $output .= '
   <div class="col-md-2">
    <img src="'.$folder_name.$file.'" class="img-thumbnail" width="175" height="175" style="height:175px;" />
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-link remove_image" id="'.$file.'">Remove</button>
   </div>
   ';
  }
 }
}
$output .= '</div>';
echo $output;

?>
