Why does my uploaded image not display?

I am using PHP to upload a file. The upload seems to be successful. The $_FILES array is:

Array ( [image] => Array ( [name] => mount.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/php61qYZj [error] => 0 [size] => 28947 ) )

Everything seems to be in order. However, when I do

echo '<img src="' . $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] . '" />';

it gives me a broken image.

This is so basic, how can it possibly be failing?

You need to move uploaded file to your image folder and then you can use this image to display in your browser.

Example 

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'],'/public_html/images/'.$_FILES['image']['name']))

the above code will upload your file to images directory then you can use this image.

for ajax file upload please contact me.

You are trying to show a picture that has been saved in /tmp. You should move the file to a directory inside of the root of your web page.

$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] is a temporary storage and works for only one request. It is not available from web as long as it usually located at OS directory for temporary files /tmp. You need to move the file to some permanent storage which is available form web.
