If you want to save the image as featured image from front end form. Here is the code for making the image as featured image for a particular post in wordpress.
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype(basename($filename), null );
if(($wp_filetype[‘ext’] == ‘jpg’) || ($wp_filetype[‘ext’] == ‘jpeg’) || ($wp_filetype[‘ext’] == ‘png’) || ($wp_filetype[‘ext’] == ‘gif’)){
// $filename should be the path to a file in the upload directory.$uploaddir1 = ‘./wp-content/uploads/’.date(‘Y’).’/’.date(‘m’).’/’;
$uploadfile1 = $uploaddir1 . basename($_FILES[‘attachmentfile’][‘name’]);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES[‘attachmentfile’][‘tmp_name’], $uploadfile1);
$filename1 = $uploadfile1;
$site_url = site_url() . ‘/’;
$imagePathForEmail = str_replace(“./”,$site_url,$uploadfile1);
// The ID of the post this attachment is for.
$parent_post_id = $postr->ID;// Check the type of file. We’ll use this as the ‘post_mime_type’.
$filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $filename1 ), null );// Get the path to the upload directory.
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
// Prepare an array of post data for the attachment.
$attachment = array(
‘guid’ => $wp_upload_dir[‘url’] . ‘/’ . basename( $filename1 ),
‘post_mime_type’ => $filetype[‘type’],
‘post_title’ => preg_replace( ‘/\.[^.]+$/’, ”, basename( $filename1 ) ),
‘post_content’ => ”,
‘post_status’ => ‘inherit’
);
// Insert the attachment.
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename1, $parent_post_id );
// Make sure that this file is included, as wp_generate_attachment_metadata() depends on it.
require_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/image.php’ );
// Generate the metadata for the attachment, and update the database record.
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $filename1 );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
set_post_thumbnail( $parent_post_id, $attach_id );
}
