How to send file to $_FILE through html form? - php

Question

Well pretty simple question.. But can't get it right for some reason.
What would be the html code to send a file to this?
move_uploaded_file($FILES["upload"]["tmpname"], $_POST["name"]);
Here's mine but when I used it and echo/vardump everything, I only have 'name' and not the file
<form action="uploader.php" method="post" id="myForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select file to upload:
<input type="file" name="upload" id="upload">
<input type="text" name="name" id="name">
<button name="submit" class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="submit">Upload File</button>
</form>
Thank you

i try to add a comment but i can't
first check if upload permission is on in php.ini
file_uploads = On
If it set to on check your upload directory which you added in uploader.php file and use if to check $_FILES['upload'] is empty
this is a simple code to uploader.php file
<?php
if(!empty($_FILES['upload']))
{
$path = "upload/"; /// directory to upload
$path = $path . basename( $_FILES['upload']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'], $path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['upload']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
}else {
echo 'No file selected to upload ';
}
