Save multiple images in database

Question

I have 3 images that changes on click, and I want to save what ever the user choose from the images to the database so it will be uploaded in another page, I'm not sure if it's possible that's why I'm asking.

<form name="massage-box" id="inp" class="con" action="http://localhost/Folder/massage.php" method="POST" >
            <textarea name="textmassage" id="massage"  type="text"  class="inputs inputtotextfeild" placeholder="Write your massage here ." required></textarea>
            <img class="icn1" src="pic1.png" id="geticon" onclick="iconfun()" >
            <img class="icn2" src="pic11.png" id="geticon2" onclick="iconfun2()">
            <img class="icn3" src="pic111.png" id="geticon3" onclick="iconfun3()">
            <br>
            <br>
            <br>
            <button name="submit" type="submit" class="sbmtcom">Post massage </button>
        </form>

I'll provide one of the three images java script code because all of them has the same coding way

var counter = 0,
    gallery = ["pic1.png", "pic2.png", "pic3.png", "pic4.png", "pic5.png", "pic6.png"],
   iconfun = function () {
        document.getElementById("geticon").src = gallery[counter];
        counter++;
        if (counter >= gall

ery.length) {
            counter = 0;
}

and here is the PHP code:

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{    
     $textmassage = $_POST['textmassage'];
     $geticon = $_POST['geticon'];
     $geticon2 = $_POST['geticon2'];
    $geticon3 = $_POST['geticon3'];
    
     $sql = "INSERT INTO massageform (textmassage,geticon,geticon2,geticon3)
     VALUES ('$textmassage','$geticon',' $geticon2',' $geticon3')";
}

   

Answer 1

If you only want to save them temporarily would you consider putting them into the session?

$_SESSION['geticon3'] = $_POST['geticon3'];
