I do not like the way your code is structured. Mine my not be right, but it does give you a starting point for clearer code.
I insert values to all columns in the DB (I think - I don't know the structure of the DB), sometimes the value is empty sometimes it has a value.
Tell me how this works out for you, please.
Code:
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['unique_id'])){
    include_once "config.php";
    $outgoing_id = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['outgoing_id']);
    $incoming_id = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['incoming_id']);
    $message = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['message']);
    $tmp_name = $_FILES['mediaB']['tmp_name'];
    $img_explode = explode('.', $img_name);
    $img_ext = end($img_explode);
    $extensions = ['png', 'jpeg', 'jpg'];
    $time = time();

    $img_name = '';
    $new_img_name = '';
        if(isset($_FILES['mediaB'])) $img_name = $_FILES['mediaB']['name'];

        if(in_array($img_ext, $extensions) === true) $new_img_name = $time.$img_name;

    $sql = mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO messages VALUES ($incoming_id, $outgoing_id, $message, $new_img_name)");

}else{
    header("../login.php");
}
?>

Hey there, just wanted to chime in. The spaces between lines were actually the result of when I put the code within the BBCode, for some reason when you copy the code from the thread to the code insert it will add a space between the lines. I have corrected this now on the original post.
 
The manual dictates that for comparison of equality you need to use ==. what you are doing is assigning a blank value to the variable by using the assignment operator =.
So your code would be
if($pw != $re-pw)
{
print "error: passwords do not match";
}
else if($username == "" || $pw == "" || $re-pw == "") //doesn't execute? (changed from = to ==)
{
print "please fil out all fields";
}
else
{
//this executes
}
