how to read FormData object in php - php

Hello everyone I am posting a sample code in which I am uploading a file using Ajax JQuery. All thing works fine but I want to read the file content in my php code. So what is the syntax to read it?
<?php
?>
<!--================================html==================================================-->
<html>
<head>
<title>AJAX UPLOAD</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-2.0.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#Button_').click(function(){
alert("hi");
var name= document.getElementById('File_');
var alpha=name.files[0];
console.log(alpha.name);
var data= new FormData();
data.append('file',alpha);
$.ajax({
url:'process.php',
data:data,
processData:false,
contentType:false,
type:'POST',
success:function(msg){
alert(msg);
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="file" name="File" id="File_"/>
<input type="button" name="Button" id="Button_" value="UPLOAD">
</body>
</html>
Now I do not know how to read the file data sent via Ajax. So please let me know the code

The first argument you pass to FormData.append() is the name of the form element that is passed to the server. So data.append('file', alpha) in your case is equivalent to <input type="file" name="file"> - you passed 'file' to append() so 'file' is your input name.
You should find your stuff in $_POST['file'] and $_FILES['file']. Next time try var_dump($_POST); after submit to see the array. :)

HTML prevent from redirect upload php

I need to prevent the page redirected to the upload php when click upload button.
How can I do this in below code.
<form id="myForm" action="http://example/DB_1/AccessWeb/file_upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload1">
</form>
<button onclick="myFunction()"> Upload
</button>
<script>
function myFunction(){
document.getElementById("myForm").submit();
}
</script>
A very basic, quickly written example of how to send a file - using ajax to the same page so that the user doesn't get redirected. This is plain vanilla javascript rather than jQuery.
The callback function can do more than print the response - it could, for instance, be used to update the DOM with new content based upon the success/failure of the upload.
<?php
$field='fileToUpload';
if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST' && !empty( $_FILES ) ){
$obj=(object)$_FILES[ $field ];
$name=$obj->name;
$tmp=$obj->tmp_name;
$size=$obj->size;
$error=$obj->error;
$type=$obj->type;
if( $error==UPLOAD_ERR_OK ){
/*
This is where you would process the uploaded file
with various tests to ensure the file is OK before
saving to disk.
What you send back to the user is up to you - it could
be json,text,html etc etc but here the ajax callback
function simply receives the name of the file chosen.
*/
echo $name;
} else {
echo "bad foo!";
}
exit();
}
?>
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>File Upload - using ajax</title>
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',function(e){
var bttn=document.getElementById('bttn');
bttn.onclick=function(e){
/* Assign a new FormData object using the buttons parent ( the form ) as the argument */
var data=new FormData( e.target.parentNode );
var xhr=new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onload=function(e){
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML=this.response;
}
xhr.onerror=function(e){
alert(e);
}
xhr.open('POST',location.href,true);
xhr.send(data);
};
},false);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
Select image to upload:
<input type='file' name='fileToUpload'>
<input type='button' id='bttn' value='Upload' />
</form><div id='status'></div>
</body>
</html>
Using JQuery AJAX methods will allow you to send and receive information to a specified url without the need to refresh your page.
You will need to include the JQuery library in your HTML page aswell. You can either download it and put it in your project folder or include an online library here, like so:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
So your form will now look like this:
<form id="myForm" method="post" >
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload1">
<input type="submit">
</form>
Then you can use this code to simply upload your image to your file upload page (tested and working for myself):
<script>
$(document).ready(function ()
{
$("#myForm").submit(function (e)
{
//Stops submit button from refreshing page.
e.preventDefault();
var form_data = new FormData(this);
$.ajax({
url: 'http://example/DB_1/AccessWeb/file_upload.php', //location of where you want to send image
dataType: 'json', // what to expect back from the PHP script, if anything
cache: false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
data: form_data,
type: 'post',
success: function (response)
{
alert('success');
},
error: function ()
{
alert('failure');
}
});
});
});
</script>
use AJAX With jQuery
$("#myForm").submit(function()
{
var formData = new FormData(this);
$.post($(this).attr("action"), formData, function(response) {
//Handle the response here
});
return false;
});

PHP file-upload using jquery post

Basically i want to upload a file using jQuery
You cannot upload files using AJAX. You could use the jquery.form plugin which uses a hidden iframe:
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script src="http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(event) {
$('#form1').ajaxForm(function(data) {
$('#result').html(data);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" action="post.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<h3>Please input the XML:</h3>
<input id="file" type="file" name="file" /><br/>
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Upload File"/>
</form>
<div id="result">call back result will appear here</div>
</body>
</html>
Also notice the enctype="multipart/form-data" on the form.
Another possibility is to use the HTML5 File API which allows you to achieve that assuming the client browser supports it.
It's not possible to upload files with jQuery $.post, neverthless, with the file API and XMLHttpRequest, it's perfectly possible to upload a file in AJAX, and you can even know how much data have been uploaded yet…
$('input').change(function()
{
var fileInput = document.querySelector('#file');
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', '/upload/');
xhr.upload.onprogress = function(e)
{
/*
* values that indicate the progression
* e.loaded
* e.total
*/
};
xhr.onload = function()
{
alert('upload complete');
};
// upload success
if (xhr.readyState == 4 && (xhr.status == 200 || xhr.status == 0))
{
// if your server sends a message on upload sucess,
// get it with xhr.responseText
alert(xhr.responseText);
}
var form = new FormData();
form.append('title', this.files[0].name);
form.append('pict', fileInput.files[0]);
xhr.send(form);
}
No no no, you should use a jQuery form plugin for async uploading files. You can't upload file with jQuery $.post method. The file will be uploaded with hidden iframe
Another way is to use HTML5 uploading with FileAPI/BlobApi
Your upload.php has some error.
you should change your this part.
echo $file['tmp_name'];
to:-
echo $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
Try uploading with an iframe because you can't send a file with $.post method.
You could also try jquery uploadify - http://www.uploadify.com/

Response error in submitting a form using jquery ajax

M having problem with getting resposnse from the server.M using Jquery Ajax
I want to upload a file using ajax.But the follwing lines of codes are not working
page1:
<script language="javascript" src="jquery-1.7.1.js"/></script>
<script language="javascript" src="jquery.form.js"/></script>
<script language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#photoimg').change(function(){
var fd=new FormData();
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'NewuploadScript.php',
data:fd,
contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
async:true,
cache:false,
processData: true,
success:function Result(data2) {
document.write(data2);
}
});
});
});
</script>
<form>
<input type="file" id="photoimg" name="file" multiple>
<input type="submit" id="BtnSbmt" value="Upload"/>
</form>
Pag2:
<?php
echo $name= basename($_FILES['photoimg']['name']);
echo $size= basename($_FILES['photoimg']['size']);
?>
when I run the codes jquery display the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Illegal invocation
jQuery.extend.param.addjquery-1.7.1.js:7601
buildParamsjquery-1.7.1.js:7658
jQuery.extend.paramjquery-1.7.1.js:7621
jQuery.extend.ajaxjquery-1.7.1.js:7467
(anonymous function)ImageUploader.php:18
jQuery.event.dispatchjquery-1.7.1.js:3256
jQuery.event.add.elemData.handle.eventHandlejquery-1.7.1.js:2875
It's hard to tell what the error message means exactly without seeing what comes back in your Ajax exchange. Your PHP code should not read
echo $var_name = ...
because that is an assignment. Try the following...
<?php
echo basename($_FILES['photoimg']['name']);
echo basename($_FILES['photoimg']['size']);
?>
Or just
print_r($_FILES);
for starters edit :
success:function (data2) {
document.write(data2);
}
Maybe the problem is related with FormData see this

jquery-ajax: pass values from a textfield to a php variable (same a file)

jquery-ajax: pass values from a textfield to php file and show the value
i made a variation of the link above this time using only one file and no div tag.
test.php
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#submit").click(function(){
var dataString = $("#inputtext").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "test.php",
data: "dataString=" + dataString,
success: function(result){
window.location.reload(true);
}
});
window.location.reload(true);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="inputtext">
<input type="button" id="submit" value="send">
<?PHP
if(isset($_POST['dataString'])){
$searchquery = trim($_POST['dataString']);
print "Hello " . $searchquery;
}
?>
</body>
</html>
value from dataString won't show. why?
Sorry for the question, but what's the point of using ajax to reload the same page?? Use it to call another page and then load the result, not the way you're doing it.
Try this
In test.php:
$("#submit").click(function(){
var dataString = $("#inputtext").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "anothepage.php",
data: dataString,
success: function(result){
$('#result').html(result).
}
});
return false; //so the browser doesn't actually reload the page
});
And you should actually use a form, not just inputs. And use the name attribute for them, or php won't pick the value! ID is for javascript and css.
<form method="POST" action="">
<input type="text" id="inputtext" value="" name="inputtext">
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="send" name="submit">
</form>
<div id="result"> <!-- result from ajax call will be written here --> </div>
In anotherpage.php:
if(isset($_POST['inputtext'])){
$searchquery = trim($_POST['inputtext']);
echo htmlentities($searchquery); // We don't want people to write malicious scripts here and have them printed and run on the page, wouldn't we?
}
When you refresh the page using JavaScript, you lose any POST parameters you sent to the page. That is one reason why you never saw any valid results.
You are also missing the benefits from using AJAX - A motivating reason to deploy AJAX is to remove the requirement to refresh the page while still accepting and processing user input.
If you prefer to process the data from AJAX on the same page that is serving the HTML, here is a working example based on your supplied code.
<?php
if( isset($_POST['dataString']))
{
echo 'Hello ' . trim( $_POST['dataString']);
exit;
}
?>

Insert record using jQuery after ajax call doesn't work

I have an insert and load record (jQuery & PHP) script working fine without using AJAX. but after the AJAX call, insert (jQuery) doesn't work.
This is my code:-
$(".insert").live("click",function() {
var boxval = $("#content").val();
var dataString = 'content='+ boxval;
if(boxval==''){
alert("Please Enter Some Text");
}
else{
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "demo.php",
data: dataString,
cache: false,
success: function(html){
$("table#update tbody").prepend(html);
$("table#update tbody tr").slideDown("slow");
document.getElementById('content').value='';
}
});
}
return false;
});
$(".load").live("click",function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "test.php",
success: function(msg){
$("#container").ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings){
$("#container").html(msg);
});
}
});
});
});
Definitely recommend using your browsers dev tools to examine the exact request that is submitted and see if there is a problem there first.
You might also want to change the way you pass the dataString to the ajax request.
If your boxval has a "&" in it then you'll end up with an incorrectly formatted string. So, try initialising data instead as:
var data = {};
data.content = boxval;
This will ask jQuery to escape the values for you.
I'd be curious to see your form markup and your back-end PHP code; it may provide a clue.
Often I'll have a form variable called 'action', just to tell the PHP code what I want it to do (especially if that PHP script is a controller for many different actions on an object). Something like <input type="hidden" name="action" value="insert"/> or even multiple <input type="submit" name="action"/> buttons, each with a different value. In the PHP code I'll have something like:
switch ($_POST['action']) {
case 'insert':
// insert record and send HTML
break;
// other actions
}
If you've done something like this, perhaps the PHP is looking for the presence of a variable that doesn't exist.
Without being able to look at your code, I'd highly recommend the incredibly handy jQuery Form Plugin http://jquery.malsup.com/form/ . It allows you to turn a form into an AJAX form, formats your data properly, and doesn't forget the data from any of your form elements (except <input type="submit"/> buttons that weren't clicked on, which is the same behaviour that a non-AJAX form exhibits). It works just like the standard $.ajax() method.
I solved the problem
I replaced this code
$("#container").ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings){
$("#container").html(msg);
});
with
$("#container").html(msg);
Thank you very much for your answers
