Question

I have a HTML form, that contains a bunch of text inputs and one file input. My text inputs pass just fine into my function, however the file doesn’t work the same way. Here’s what I am trying to pass:

$submit = submit_server($_POST['name'], $_POST['ip'], $_FILES['banner'], $_POST['description'], $_POST['slots'], $_POST['tags']);

Here is what the function takes:

submit_server($name, $ip, $banner, $description, $slots, $tags)

Here is my form:

<form action="submit.php" method="POST">
    ...some text inputs...
    <input type="file" name="banner" />
</form>

Is there something I need to change to make this work? Within my function, I check for the file with if(!$banner){ return false; } and it returns false.

I just need to pass the whole file object into my function. Thanks!

Answer 1

all forms that are used for submitting files must have

enctype=”multipart/form-data”

in the form tag, please see manual section: Handling file uploads
