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.

I'm trying to build a file upload form and I'm having trouble with the very basics. My form is this:
<html>
<body>
<form action="fileuploader.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="filename" />
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
My php code so far is one line and it doesn't do anything:
<?php
echo $_POST['filename'];
?>
The idea (at this point) is just to display the name of the file entered in the form. What am I doing wrong?
Based on your code I modified it. Have a try it.
HTML Part
<html>
<body>
<form action="fileuploader.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="filename" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
PHP
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// Check if files array is not empty
if (!empty($_FILES)) {
$imageName = $_FILES['filename']['name'];
echo $imageName;
// Insert your code related to upload
}
}
You can print the filename using the following code:
<?php
echo $_FILES["filename"]["name"];
?>
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">
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 = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
echo "problem";
?>
I am trying to submit a form using PHP. I am trying to grab the value from two file inputs in my form, yet when I try to index them with my PHP code, I keep getting an error.
The error I get:
Undefined index: profile-pic in C:\xampp\htdocs\shareitme\form-test.php on line 5
Undefined index: cover-pic in C:\xampp\htdocs\shareitme\form-test.php on line 6
My Code:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$profile_pic= time() . $_FILES['profile-pic']['name'];
$cover_pic= time() . $_FILES['cover-pic']['name'];
}
?>
<form id="editprofile" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
?>">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="5000000"/>
<input type="file" name="profile-pic"/>
<input type="file" name="cover-pic"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
I know I have the names right, what am I doing wrong?
For uploading a file include enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form, like below:
<form id="editprofile" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
?>">
The enctype attribute specifies how the form-data should be encoded when submitting it to the server.
For more info on forms : http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_enctype.asp
For renaming a uploaded file, it better to upload it to server with move_uploaded_file and than rename it.
try:
<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['go']) && $_REQUEST['go'] == "1") {
$profile_pic= time() . $_FILES['profile-pic']['name'];
$cover_pic= time() . $_FILES['cover-pic']['name'];
}
?>
<form id="editprofile" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="5000000"/>
<input type="file" name="profile-pic"/>
<input type="file" name="cover-pic"/>
<input type=hidden name="go" value="1">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
Whenever you are want to upload file. you need to add enctype in from.
`enctype="multipart/form-data"'
This should work
<form id="editprofile" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
?>">
What you're trying to do here, if I'm not mistaken, is upload images on your server, right? You can simply use a third-party upload tool for that. I'd recommend AjaxUpload as it is based on AJAX and pretty easy to implement.
For simplicity, I'm applying the upload functionality on one image. You can simply put it inside a function and reuse it.
<p id="showMsg"></p>
<input type="file" name="profile-pic" id="profilePic" />
JQuery:
$("#profilePic").ajaxUpload({
url : $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],
name: "file",
onSubmit: function() {
$('#showMsg').html('Uploading ... ');
},
onComplete: function(result) {
$('#showMsg').html('File uploaded with result' + result);
}
});
PHP:
<?php
if (isset($_FILES))
{
$file = $_FILES['file'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], 'upload_dir/' . $_FILES["file"]["name"]); // This function will upload the image to 'upload_dir' folder. You can modify it as per your requirements.
}
?>
1) if you are using file type then your form attribute should be enctype="multipart/form-data".
<form id="editprofile" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
2) Before using your post value it is best practice to check whether its setted or not.
$pic=isset($_FILES['profile-pic']['name']) ? $_FILES['profile-pic']['name'] : '';
Use enctype="multipart/form-data" in form tag.
Whenever you want to post binary datas you must have to set this enctype attribute.
Hi Hi trying to upload a file via a form move it to another folder and then print its name. But doesnt work don't know why.
<form method="post" action='exercice.php' id="form1">
<input type="file" name="files" id="files" onChange="submitForm();">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_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?
