PHP can't upload file from HTML form

Question

This is how I handle my form:

        # Create the message
        # ----------------------------------------------------------------
        $name = $_POST[\'na         


        

Answer 1

Your form needs to have the appropriate enctype attribute set, ie

Update

A couple of suggestions...

1. Check the file type and do any other general validation before you move the uploaded file. That should be your last step.
2. Can't remember exactly right now but I don't think you'll get anything useful (or at all) in the $_POST['file'] value. Use the $_FILES array for all uploaded file data.
