What are some best practices for linking image information (filename, storage date, author, description) to a database in PHP?

To link image information to a database in PHP, you can create a table in your database to store the filename, storage date, author, and description of each image. Then, when uploading an image, you can insert this information into the database along with the image file. This allows you to easily retrieve and display the image information when needed. 

// Connect to your database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Insert image information into the database
$filename = "image.jpg";
$storage_date = date("Y-m-d");
$author = "John Doe";
$description = "A beautiful landscape";

$sql = "INSERT INTO images (filename, storage_date, author, description) VALUES ('$filename', '$storage_date', '$author', '$description')";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "Image information linked to database successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}

// Close database connection
$conn->close();
