PHP - Choose File From Server Directory

I have some code where i input data and upload images to a database (working 100% correctly)

However I want to expand on it - what I want is when a user uploads an image of their choice, to assign it to a directory of their choosing.

Then, when input is successful, write the directory of where the image is stored (not just the image) to the database.

Here is the code;

How do I achieve this?

Basically what I am trying to do is create an upload form so that I may choose what predetermined directory in a drop down to upload the file to. For example if I want to upload 'image.jpg' to the folder 'family' I can then use a drop down, select family and upload the image.

So far I have yet to find a script similar to what I am trying to do. I see regular upload scripts, but nothing so that I can choose a predetermined directory. Any ideas?

Is there a way for me to connect to a directory on a NAS server running a windows share from PHP.
I can connect from the command line using mount, but I want the connect within my PHP script.
Can this be done & if so how?

Please help.  I am simply trying to create a directory if it doesn't already exist.  I am working from one site (www.mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/here).  I want to have this PHP script make a directory on another one of my sites (www.mysite2.com/images)


$dirname = "../../mysite2.com/images"; <--this is the root directory (www.mysite2.com/images)

$filename = "/$sitest/$userid/"; <-- this is the folder we want to create if it doesn't already exist (www.mysite2.com/images/us/27)

$fulldirname = "$dirname$filename"; <--this should be the total path (mysite2.com/images/us/27)

     if (file_exists($fulldirname)) {
         echo "The directory {$fulldirname} exists";
     } else {
       mkdir($fulldirname, 0777);
         echo "The directory {$fulldirname} was successfully created.";
     }
