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.

So, I have a custom newtab page where I show some options for reverse image searching when I drag something over the page.
Here is my not working code for TinEye:
<form
action="https://tineye.com/search"
method="POST"
enctype="multipart/form-data"
target="_blank"
>
TinEye
<input type="file" name="url" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
And here is my working code for google:
<form
action="https://images.google.de/searchbyimage/upload"
method="POST"
enctype="multipart/form-data"
target="_blank"
>
Google Images
<input type="file" name="encoded_image" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
I looked in the code from TinEye (They have public sourcemaps, pretty cool!) and think the search/upload logic works completely through JavaScript and does not work with a form submit like mine, but if someone of you has a solution that works somehow, without me needing to upload the image first to a server, please tell me.
Thanks in advance
I found the solution by myself and it looks like this:
<form
action="https://tineye.com/search/upload"
method="POST"
enctype="multipart/form-data"
target="_blank"
>
TinEye
<input type="file" name="image" />
<input type="submit" hidden />
</form>
I just tried a bit of random stuff, added the "upload" to the url like it needs to be for google and did take the parameter name ("image") from the input at the TinEye start page.
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'm trying to submit a form that includes a file, I'm using enctype="multipart/form-data" but the request content-type is sent as “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”, this is the part of the code:
<div id="uploadTest" data-role="page" align="right">
<form id="uploadTestForm" action="/Upload" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="text" autofocus required>
<input id="ImageFile" type="file" data-clear-btn="false" name="image" accept="image/*" capture>
<button type="submit" data-theme="a">Upload</button>
</form>
</div>
This is a part of my HTML5 application that need to upload the file.
There is no JS code that run on submitting the form.
May you please help me find why I cannot submit the form as "multipart/form-data"?
I was able to find out what was the problem.
I just added data-ajax="false" to the form and now it is working.
I would have thought this would be super easy to find an answer to on the interwebs but apparently not.
On an HTML page, I wish to allow a user to select multiple files and upload them to my server. Specific context is that the user needs to choose a resume file and a cover page to apply for a job.
Important considerations:
I'm not interested in an HTML5 or flash or tricky solution - just the basic question, is it possible with plain old HTML in a plain old browser.
I am okay with having multiple upload fields and multiple buttons to choose each file.
A single submit button needs to submit them both.
Needs to support IE6.
Is this possible? It seems very hard to find a straight answer.
For example would something like this work? (I grabbed it from somewhere on the net sorry if I have not credited the source)
<form action="/py/uploadfile" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1">
<label>upload file<input type="file" name="file[]" id="file1" /></label>
<label>upload file<input type="file" name="file[]" id="file2" /></label>
<label>upload file<input type="file" name="file[]" id="file3" /></label>
<label><input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" /></label>
</form>
thanks
Just add another input[type="file"], and make sure it has a different name:
<form action="...">
...other fields...
<input type="file" name="coverLetter" />
<input type="file" name="resume" />
...other fields...
<input type="submit" value="send" />
</form>
Basically, I have this form that allows user to upload to my server:
<form id = "uploadbanner" method = "post" action = "#">
<input id = "fileupload" type = "file" />
<input type = "submit" value = "submit" id = "submit" />
</form>
But the problem is that when I choose a file, then click submit, I don't see the file uploaded in the server directory.
<form id="uploadbanner" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="#">
<input id="fileupload" name="myfile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" id="submit" />
</form>
To upload a file, it is essential to set enctype="multipart/form-data" on your form
You need that form type and then some php to process the file :)
You should probably check out Uploadify if you want something very customisable out of the box.
You need enctype="multipart/form-data" otherwise you will load only the file name and not the data.
On top of what the others have already stated, some sort of server-side scripting is necessary in order for the server to read and save the file.
Using PHP might be a good choice, but you're free to use any server-side scripting language. http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp may be of use on that end.
you will need to have a backend on the server do handle the file upload request you can base your backend with this php example
<?php
$file = $_FILES['file'];
move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], 'uploads/' . $file['name']);?>
Then point the form to the file
<form id="uploadbanner" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="/tourscript.php">
<input id="fileupload" name="myfile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" id="submit" />
</form>
