if you already tried to upload an image, the way on how to upload an image is just the same on how to upload a video. Only the file extension is the difference.

try this code for the connection to your database, save it as connect_to_db.php,

you can retrieve the video in db by its file name and Id. and you must set the destination of your uploaded file, example,

../uploaded_folder/$var_for_filename; //the destination where the uploaded file(s) being saved and its file name. try it in sql .

I was actually just about to say that. I don't suggest uploading a video into a database as in a multimedia database because you would need to use a blob, which is difficult to deal with. You'll want to use that form script that was provided, make sure that you allow users to upload the correct size for the files, make sure that the directory is read/write=777, and you copy the URL into the database as a text. What I even suggest is maybe generating a random name before completing the script (this would most likely require a rename at the end of the script), but this part is not mandatory. All you really need is the file name and know where the videos would be stored.

Hope that helps!
