So far below is my code. the code is not working yet... The images and texts are not uploading to the database.... Please help me out guys. What am I doing wrong. Thanks.

Below is my code sample:

//THE PHP SECTION//

<?php

session_start();
include 'includes/config.php';

if (isset($_POST['post']) && isset($_POST['itemtype'])) {

    $title = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['title']);
    $itemtype = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['itemtype']);
    $description = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['description']);
    $image1 = $_FILES['image1']['name'];
    $image1_tmp_name = $_FILES['image1']['tmp_name'];
    $image2 = $_FILES['image2']['name'];
    $image2_tmp_name = $_FILES['image2']['tmp_name'];
    $image3 = $_FILES['image3']['name'];
    $image3_tmp_name = $_FILES['image3']['tmp_name'];
    $price = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['price']);
    $category = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['category']);
    $name = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['name']);

    //image file directory
    $target1 = 'images/user_ads/'.basename($image1);
    $target2 = 'images/user_ads/'.basename($image2);
    $target3 = 'images/user_ads/'.basename($image3);

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image1_tmp_name'], $target1)) {

    }
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image2_tmp_name'], $target2)) {

    }
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image3_tmp_name'], $target3)) {

    }

    //insert into ost database
    $insert = "INSERT INTO products(Title,Product_Type,Description,Image1,Image2,Image3,Price,Category,Name,PostedDate)VALUES('$title','$itemtype','$description','$target1','$target2','$target3','$price','$category','$name',NOW())";
    $insertKwary = mysqli_query($link, $insert);

    if ($insertKwary) {
        $msg = "<div class='alert alert-danger alert-success'>Product Submitted</div>";
    }else{
        $msg = "<div class='alert alert-danger alert-success'>Product Not Submitted...Try again</div>";
    }
}

?>

The error is due to these lines:

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image1_tmp_name'], $target1)) {
}
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image2_tmp_name'], $target2)) {
}
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image3_tmp_name'], $target3)) {
}

You're setting $image1_tmp_name, not $_FILES['image1_tmp_name'].

Try this:

if (move_uploaded_file($image1_tmp_name, $target1)) {
}
if (move_uploaded_file($image2_tmp_name, $target2)) {
}
if (move_uploaded_file($image3_tmp_name, $target3)) {
}

Edit: Using mysqli_error() to print the error helped solve additional issues (Mentioned in comments)
