enctype and file upload

Question

i made a form page to upload files

<form role="form" action="portfilio.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/from-data"> <textarea class="form-control textarea" name="desc"></textarea>
<input type="file" name= "img" class="custom-file-input" id="exampleInputFile">

when i want to test it if he is working or not by using this code

if (isset($_POST['desc'])) { echo '<pre>'; print_r($_FILES);die; }

should send somthing like result but not just empty array like : Array () but why ? where the wrong ??

Answer 1

(1) Please fix the typo and use enctype="multipart/form-data"

(2) Please use $_POST and $_FILES to get the submitted data details, as follows:

print_r($_POST);
print_r($_FILES);

So , amend your code to

HTML

<form  action="test1.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">  
<textarea class="form-control textarea" name="desc"></textarea>

<input type="file" name= "img" class="custom-file-input" id="exampleInputFile">
<input type=submit>

and

test1.php

<?php
if (isset($_POST['desc'])) { 

print_r($_POST);
echo "<br>";
print_r($_FILES);

//die; 
}

?>

The result (if you type something in the textarea and pick a file, then submit) will be like (well tested):

Array ( [desc] => Test1 Test2 )
Array ( [img] => Array ( [name] => 2.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpO9vL4C [error] => 0 [size] => 22904 ) )
