I´m trying to create a form in HTML5 to upload a file to the server.
My HTML code is the following
<form action='upload.php' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
Select file to upload:
<input type='file' name='fileToUploadNep'>
<input type='submit' value='submit'></form>;
but as output i get this
there is no way to select the file from the harddisk.
can someone please help me ?
This maybe an error with your web browser.
The code is working perfectly on my web browser. Just tried it on Chrome web browser. I don't know why you added that semi-colon at the end of your code:
<form action='upload.php' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
Select file to upload:
<input type='file' name='fileToUploadNep'>
<input type='submit' value='submit'></form>
;
The code is working properly. Ask the developer of your web browser.

If you have another form on the web page and wants to hide one of it's input element, just simple hidden class to it and in your CSS file, add .hidden{display: none} and that's all!
or, the simplest way is to add an inline style to the input.file element. It'll override the style, written on your CSS file.
Sample: <input type='file' name='fileToUploadNep' style="display: inline-block">
Use inner CSS style like this:
<form action='upload.php' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
Select file to upload:
<input type='file' name='fileToUploadNep' style="display:block" >
<input type='submit' value='submit'></form>

I am learning HTML from w3schools HTML Tutorial - The Best in Class Tutorial
I come across one HTML form example which sends an email.
Please note that currently neither do I nor w3schools is going for server side input processing, so you also don't think about server side processing while considering my question.
Below is the code of HTML example :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Send e-mail to someone#example.com:</h2>
<form action="mailto:someone#example.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
Name:<br>
<input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail:<br>
<input type="text" name="mail"><br>
Comment:<br>
<input type="text" name="comment" size="50"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Normally I see a .php or .asp filename in action attribute of a form but in above example it's mailto:someone#example.com.
I want to know what is it and why they have not used a .php or .asp file-name as they normally do?
Please someone explain me.
Thank You.
You are basically giving the users browser the job of handling the mailto request. The browser usually starts the users mail client and fills in the fields according to the input of your form.
Files doesn't get uploaded though all back-end code is correct. I tested the back end code with another front-end styled code and it worked fine.
but in my front end code it doesn't upload any files. I removed all css and scripts as well to figure out the issue.
here is my simple front end HTML form :
<form action="upload_handler.php" method="post">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload" name="submit">
</form>
you forgot to mention the enctype="multipart/form-data"
<form action="upload_handler.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload" name="submit">
</form>
The issue is with the attributes in your <form> tag. To successfully enable files to be uploaded properly in HTML, following requirements should be there.
Make sure that the form uses method="post"
The form also needs the following attribute: enctype="multipart/form-data".
It specifies which content-type to use when submitting the form
So just add this enctype="multipart/form-data" part inside your <form> tag.
I have a simple HTML form that I am building. I want to be able to added multiple files to submit with the form to upload. Everything I am reading online about HTML5 says that I am able to do this with the HTML5 Input Multiple tag. When I try this in any browser I get the standard Input with a type of file. When I inspect the DOM i see that it has only a single file in it's Files[0] attribute. Here is my form. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
Here is my HTML for the the form for uploading files:
<form method="post" action=upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" id="basicUploadFile" multiple >
</form>
Also. I have tried this in Chrome, Firefox, IE 11. Even going to the W3school.com demo doesn't seem to work in any of them for multiple files.
files[0] will show you the first file selected. files gives you a collection of the selected files, files.length gives you the number of files selected. So once you select more than one file if you console.log(fileinput.files) you'll see multiple files logged.
<form method="post" action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" id="UploadedFiles" name="UploadedFiles[]" multiple>
<input type="submit" value="SendFile">
</form>
in upload.php analize structure of array $_FILES ;)
good like!
Is that a typo? There is a " missing before the upload.php
your form tag looks correct

[edit]
If you are referring to the W3schools site, this works for me on Chrome and IE
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_multiple.asp
TryIt site:

I have this problem Only on IE7 and IE8.
I have a shadowbox that contains an input type file in it.
When this shadowbox is loaded, the input file is invisible... until I mouse hover it.
It's a reall basic form with a really basic input file:
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" autocomplete="off">
<input type="file" name="img" onChange="$('#button_img').css('display','');" />
<input type="hidden" name="step_crop" value="1" />
<input type="submit" value="" />
</form>
I tried to delete everything on the file and only leave the form with one element which is, yeah, the evil input file, but still invisible on page load until I hover it.
Someone would have an idea ?

Please try to close your div and input tags properly. does it work?
Hi, I can see input field in both IE7 and IE8. Can you please add your view how it looks like before and after
I have a html file selector in index.php file.Code is given bellow
//index.php (This is just an example)
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="http://myserver/abc/upload.php" method="POST">
Select image to upload :
<input name="photo" type="file" size="30" width="250">
<input type="submit" value="Upload"/>
</form>
In firefox browser I can see file selector with a text field(which display the file path) and a button named 'Browse'(As a normal file selecting field)
But in chrome browser I can't see the text field.And button name is 'Chose file' not 'Browse'.
How can I fix this?
I need to display this in all browsers as it is display in firefox browser
there is no standard way of customizing file input style, but you can find a tons of css/js tricks. use keywords: custom css file input
Change your file type by adding this inline style
<input name="photo" type="file" size="30" width="250" style="line-height:0;">
