$_FILES[""][""] is empty in uploading files - php

I really Dont know What should I do the problem is that $_Files is always empty when I try to upload a file.
<form method="get" action="pic.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
<?php
$name=$_FILES["file"]["name"];
$tmp_name=$_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
echo "php is talking";
echo $name;
if(isset($name)&&!empty($name))
{
echo "OK";
$location="uploads/";
if(move_uploaded_file($name,$location.$name))
{
echo "the file has been Uploaded";
}
}
?>

You have to change the HTTP method in the form from GET to POST
<form method="POST" action="pic.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">

PHP input file error, echo file name with Post method

I'm trying to take posted input file name, I'm not uploading anywhere.
I just need the name of posted filename so I'm trying this code;
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" role="form">
<input type="file" id="file" name="file">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form">
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
echo $_FILES['file'];
}
?>
If I change enctype="multipart/form-data" into form tag, it's ok, but I need this tag.
You still need the enctype attribute, as the files will not be available without it.
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
echo $_FILES['file']['name'];
}
use
echo $_FILES['file']['name'];
instead of
echo $_FILES['file'];
$_FILES['file'] contains array of properties of uploaded file. use print_r instead. It will work fine.
you can get file name like that
$name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
this code is working fine
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" role="form">
<input type="file" id="file" name="file">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form">
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_FILES['file']) ;
}
?>

PHP uploaded file name doesnt show up in browser

All of my other form data is visible, but the name of the file is not showing up in the browser.
Here is a little portion of my code:
<form method="POST" action=<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];?> entype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file">
<input type="submit" name="file" value="yoyo">
</form>
<?php
echo $name = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
echo "problem";
?>
and this is the output:
Notice: Undefined index: file in D:\xamp\htdocs\colgWeb\index.php on line 228
problem
Use a validator: You misspelled enctype (it has a c in it).
Consequently, the form is being submitted with the default (url based) encoding which doesn't support file uploads.
You need to think that as a two step page. First, you send your form, then you use the input.
<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file">
<input type="submit" name="file" value="yoyo">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_FILES["file"]))
{
$name = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
echo "File: $name";
}
?>
Please try below code. You are using same name (ie "file") for both file and submit button."
<form method="POST" action=<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];?> entype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="yoyo">
</form>
<?php
echo $name = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
echo "problem";
?>

check if file has been uploaded by user in a form

I have a form where multiple images can be selected...
HTML
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="name" class="form-field" placeholder="First Name">
<input type="file" name="files[]" multiple accept="image/*" class="form-field">
<input type="submit" value="UPLOAD" class="button" name="submit4">
</form>
Then, in my PHP I want to detect if at least 1 file has been uploaded.... I tried this, but the code still triggers as if a file was uploaded...
if(isset($_POST['submit4']) and $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
echo "post sucessful<br>";
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['temp_name']))
{ echo "file exist";}
else{ echo "no file";}
}
THIS always triggers the "no file" even if there is a file..
and if I try:
if(!empty($_FILES['files']['temp_name']))
it always triggers the "no file" ... I'm really confused...
You can use following code
if(!file_exists($_FILES['files']['tmp_name']) || !is_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'])) {
echo "No File";
}
else{
echo "Successfully uploaded";
}
Found my answer...
if(!empty($_FILES['files']['name'][0]))
works quit well... thanks everyone.

how do I move my uploaded file to different folder

Hi Hi trying to upload a file via a form move it to another folder and then print its name. But doesnt work don't know why.
<form method="post" action='exercice.php' id="form1">
<input type="file" name="files" id="files" onChange="submitForm();">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_FILES['files']))
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'], "uploaded/");
echo $_FILES['files']['name'];
}
?>
form missing:
enctype="multipart/form-data"
ref:
spec
<form method="post" action='exercice.php' id="form1">
<input type="file" name="files" id="files" onChange="submitForm();">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_FILES['files']))
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'], "uploaded/".$_FILES['files']['name']);
echo $_FILES['files']['name'];
}
?>
You need to include the file name in the upload path, like shown above.
Also, where is your upload (ajax) code?
Did isset($_FILES['files']) return true?

<input type=file> not getting image

I am trying to get image file name by tag, But when I check it through isset($_FILES['imgFile']), it returns always false.
Here is my HTML tag for getting image file:
<input type="file" name="imgFile" accept="image/*" id="imgFile" src=""/>
Here is my php code to retrieve it:
if(isset($_FILES['imgFile']))
{
$img = $_FILES['imgFile']['name'];
echo $img";
}
else
{
echo "Image not set";
}
It always generate "Image not set" as an output though I have selected an image.
Are you using the correct enctype on the form?
<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
This is required when using a file upload element.
just use:
enctype="multipart/form-data"
Say this is your form:
<form action="same_page.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="imgFile" accept="image/*" id="imgFile" src=""/>
<input type="submit" name="upload" value="Upload" />
</form>
and your php code to retrive name of the image is in the same page where the form is, then your code should be like this:
<?php
if (isset($_POST["upload"])) {
if (isset($_FILES['imgFile'])) {
$img = $_FILES['imgFile']['name'];
echo $img;
} else {
echo "Image not set";
}
}
?>
But if your php code is in another page, then you only need to use enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form as mentioned in the other answers.
