<script type="text/javascript">

Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;

var myDropzone = new Dropzone(".dropzone", {

maxFilesize: 10,

success: function (file, response) {

var ext = getFileExt(file.name);

var newImagePath = file.name;

/* Check for extension */

if(ext != 'png' && ext != 'jpg' && ext != 'jpeg' && ext != 'gif'){

newImagePath = "upload/default-image.jpg";

}

this.createThumbnailFromUrl(file, newImagePath);

}

});

function getFileExt(fileName){

fileName = fileName.toLowerCase();

return fileName.split('.').pop();

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

Step 2: Create upload.php file

In first step we have to create upload.php file in our root folder. In this file i write image upload folder code.

upload.php

<?php

$uploadDir = 'upload';

$tmpFile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];

$filename = $uploadDir.'/'.$_FILES['file']['name'];

move_uploaded_file($tmpFile,$filename);

echo $filename;

?>

Step 3: Create upload folder

In last step, we have to just create "upload" folder for store images. You can also give different name from uploads, But make sure also change on upload.php file.
