<input type="submit" value="Upload" id="submit_button">
</form>
When uploading a file, for example, tipsfedora.png, I get the file in the $_POST array, yet no files in the $_FILES array. Any help would be appreciated. Full code is posted. I would like to use the files with bulletProof image upload, yet the problem is that $_FILES is an empty array.
$_FILES contains content of uploaded files. But you actually didn't upload any files because the form doesn't have enctype attribute. It is required to enable file uploading.
But even you didn't upload any file, $_POST contains the file name.
Solution? Just add to enctype="multipart/form-data" to the <form>.
The MDN document about enctype may help you.
You forgot to add
enctype="multipart/form-data"
to the <form> tag

I am trying to create a simple PHP Contact form using PHPMailer (because I also want to attach files through the form). And somehow something that should be really simple managed to give me headaches.
Here are some lines of code:
<form method="POST" action="" enctype= multipart/form-data">
.....
<input type="file" name="file">
</form>
.....
$file = $_POST['file']['tmp_name'];
echo $file;
My main problem is that I attach a file, complete all the fields, submit the form. I receive the email except the file attached. I tracked down and found out that, if I echo the $file var, It will display the first letter of the file.
Ex: if the file is named test.jpg, echoing $file will result in a t.
I have no idea what is this happening, judging the fact that there aren't too many lines of code and nothing that will change the filename..
Hope someone can help me out.
" missing in enctype and use $_FILES instead of $_POST
<form method="POST" action="" enctype= "multipart/form-data">
.....
<input type="file" name="file">
</form>
AND
$file = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
I've a form for adding user to my database and it also uploads an image to my site, this all works fine. I am using http://nativedroid.godesign.ch/ as my site is for mobiles.
The problem is when I include this line on the php page with the form:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
This causes $_FILES to be empty. Even if I simplify the form to this the $_FILES array is empty.
This is my simple form:
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input type="file" name="myfile"><p>
<input type="submit" value="Add Staff"></p>
</form>
When I echo this in my upload.php
$name = $_FILES["myfile"]["name"];
I get an undefined error for "name", because the array is empty.
For some reason including the jquery is emptying the array, but I can't find a solution. I've been stuck on this for days now so any help is appreciated.
I think js conflict will be there so your code will not working there and you are getting empty array.
Change form code .. please check submit tag..
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input type="file" name="myfile"><p>
<input type="submit" name="anyname" value="Add Staff"></p>
</form>
hope this help!
So I have a very simple file upload form, code below...
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="$theaction" method="POST">
<input name="source" type="file">
<input name="message" type="text" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Upload"/>
</form>
I was wondering if I can set with php the source of the file upload? Something like..
<?php $file = "http://mywebsite.com/path/to/img.jpg"; ?>
<input name="source" type="file" src="<?php echo $file; ?>">
I've googled it but I can't come up with anything. I feel like I'm just not using the proper vocabulary, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
I concur #IMSoP statement.
Instead of populating the input tag value, I would rather create an element (div) to display the thumbnail version of the image that was uploaded by the user that way it makes it clear to the user that a file exist and also I would give them the option to edit for uploading a new file & delete for deleting the file.
I have a form where a user submits the description of an object (including an image) and there is JavaScript that adds an additional set of inputs for +1 object description. When the form is submitted the file information is not stored in $_FILES.
The form tag is <form id="order_form" name="order_form" method="post" action="#">
The file type input is <input type="file" name="order_image[]" />.
print_r($_FILES); returns
array()
Does anyone have an idea as to why this might be happening. I will gladly include any other information that might be pertinent to this question.
Have you set the correct encoding type in your form tag?
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action=...>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
be sure you include enctype
I want to post an entire IMAGE when SUBMIT button is clicked.

<img src="...."/>
<input type="submit" value="Click"/>
</FORM>
Is it possible?
Please help me......
Thanks in advance.....
Are you looking to upload an image? If so, then you'll want the "file" HTML input element type:
<input type="file"/>
And include enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form tag.
Here's a basic tutorial and more info:
http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php
if you want to post an image inside a form, you should have that image already on your server. In which case all you have to do is put a hidden element on the form with the location of that image and voila you have the image in the form
<input type="hidden" name="image_location" id="image_location" value="/images/bleh.jpg" />
You can do it like this:
<FORM action=".." method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" id="file" placeholder="upload a file"
name="file">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</FORM>
