Send File Attachment from Form Using phpMailer and PHP

Question

I have a form on example.com/contact-us.php that looks like this (simplified):

Answer 1

In my own case, i was using serialize() on the form, Hence the files were not being sent to php. If you are using jquery, use FormData(). For example

Using jquery,

$('#form').submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var formData = new FormData(this); // grab all form contents including files
//you can then use formData and pass to ajax

});
