PHP Form - File Upload Field for Signup - php

Question

I have created a PHP signup form for visitors to fill and submit that asks for their basic information.
I am trying to accomplish the following two tasks;
Add Image/File Upload Field
Redirect them to a confirmation page
I have been unable to make it work. Below is what I have.
My Code
HTML Form
<form name="form1" method="post" action="signup.php">
Username: <input type="text" name="user">
<br>Email: <input type="text" name="mail">
<br>Experience: <select name="exp"> <option value="beginner">Beginner</option>
<option value="intermediate">Intermediate</option> <option value="advanced">Advanced</option>
</select><br> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Sign Up">
</form>
Signup.php
<?php
$username = $_POST['user'];
$email = $_POST['mail'];
$experience = $_POST['exp'];
//the data
$data = "$username | $email | $experience\n";
//open the file and choose the mode
$fh = fopen("users.txt", "a");
fwrite($fh, $data);
//close the file
fclose($fh);
print "User Submitted";
?>

Answer 1

It seems like you lack an input field in your HTML to begin with.
here's an example of a form for uploading files.
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>
Once you've done that you're not quite there yet because your file is stored in a temporary folder, you will need to move the file to your uploads folder like so:
$target_file = "uploads/" . basename ($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)
I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Ta add an upload you need to add enctype="multipart/form-data" to your form tag,then add the upload field. For the Email field change the type to HTML5 type="email", this will do a little validaation check that it is in the correct format. At the bottom of the php file add a location header if all went well. You could put it all in one file with an if statement at the top.You should also sanitize your inputs

Answer 3

this is a upload file script which will loop through all the data of a file and insert
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'])) {
echo "<h1>" . "File ". $_FILES['filename']['name']. "uploaded successfully." . "</h1>";
}
$csv_file=$_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'];
$type=$_FILES['filename']['type'];
$handle = fopen($csv_file, "r");
$i=0;
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle)) !== FALSE) {
if($i>0) {
$import="insert into `table_name`(col1,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6,col7)values('".addslashes($data[0])."','".addslashes($data[1])."','".addslashes($data[2])."','".addslashes($data[3])."','".addslashes($data[4])."','$data[5]','$data[6]')";
mysql_query($import) or die(mysql_error());
}
$i=1;
}
echo "Success";
echo "<br>";
echo $_FILES['filename']['type'];
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="" id="">
Choose File:<br>
<input name="filename" type="file" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
