PHP & MariaDB: Build the ULTIMATE Drag & Drop File Uploader Backend (AJAX/Fetch Guide)

It's time for the server-side action! This is Part 2 of our video upload series, where we connect our beautiful HTML5 frontend to a powerful backend built with PHP and MariaDB. You'll learn the crucial steps to securely handle video files: receiving data from the Fetch API, generating unique filenames, saving the video and poster files to a secure folder outside the web root, and using MariaDB to store all the necessary metadata (paths, dimensions, IDs). We also cover the logic for CRUD operations like replacing and deleting files!

What You'll Learn:

How to handle POST requests containing file data (video and poster) in PHP.

The best practice for securely storing files outside the public folder.

Inserting video metadata into a MariaDB database.

The PHP logic needed for UPDATE and DELETE (unlink) operations.
