Image upload in non existing folder in PHP

I've run into a problem where I need to upload an image into a folder and store its path into database.

If the folder is not present then create the new folder and then store it there and save full path into database. 

    $file_name=$_FILES["uploadedimage"]["name"];
    $temp_name=$_FILES["uploadedimage"]["tmp_name"];
    $imgtype=$_FILES["uploadedimage"]["type"];
    $ext= GetImageExtension($imgtype);

image name to be used

    $imagename=("Userimage")."-".time().$ext;

image path 

$target_path = "images/".$imagename

Condition

if(move_uploaded_file($temp_name, $target_path))
{
    $query_upload="INSERT into images_tbl (images_path , submission_date) VALUES ('".$target_path."','".date("Y-m-d")."')";
    $imagedb= mysqli_query($con,$query_upload);

while($imagepath = mysqli_fetch_array($imagedb))
    {
        echo "success";
    }  
}

if (!file_exists('path/to/directory')) {
    mkdir('path/to/directory', 0777, true);
}

0777 is the directory permission ,that is a creating the directory and setting the permission to 0777 so that file can be uploaded to this directory

You could do something like this:

<?php
$target_dir = preg_replace('#^(.*)'.basename($target_path).'$#', '$1', $target_path);
if (!is_dir($target_dir))
    mkdir($target_dir, 0755);

if(move_uploaded_file($temp_name, $target_path))
{
    $query_upload="INSERT into images_tbl (images_path , submission_date) VALUES ('".$target_path."','".date("Y-m-d")."')";
    $imagedb= mysqli_query($con,$query_upload);

while($imagepath = mysqli_fetch_array($imagedb))
    {
        echo "success";
    }  
}
?>

The preg_replace part strips the directory path out of the complete path.

It's easy:

 $target_path = 'images/'.$imagename;
 if(!is_dir($target_path)) mkdir($target_path, 0755);

Don't use " " when you can use ' ', because each time you use " .." , php try to find variable inside and lost time for nothing. ;)
