My code was uploading video files, but after I extended the form it stopped uploading. All the other variables were passed OK but not the file variable was blank.

I tried comparing the upload logic with similar examples on the web but could not see what I had changed to cause it to fail. In the listing below I have removed all the irrelevant code. When this code runs it returns “Error”.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
if (isset($_FILES['urlvideo'])) {
  move_uploaded_file($_FILES['urlvideo']['tmp_name'], "{$_FILES['urlvideo']['name']}");
} else {
  echo('Error');
  exit();
}
?>  
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <body>
    <form action="videotest.php"
          method="post"
         enctype="multipart/form-data">   
      Upload video:
      <input type="file" name="urlvideo" /><br>
      <input type="submit"
            value="Submit"/>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
<?php ob_end_flush(); ?>

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    use this code.

    <?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
if ( $_POST ) {
    if (isset($_FILES['urlvideo'])) {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES['urlvideo']['tmp_name'], "{$_FILES['urlvideo']['name']}");
    } else {
      echo('Error');
      exit();
    }
}
?>  
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <body>
    <form action="testup.php"
          method="post"
         enctype="multipart/form-data">   
        <input type="hidden" name="method" value="post" /><!-- for check $_POST before if isset $_FILES-->
      Upload video:
      <input type="file" name="urlvideo" /><br>
      <input type="submit"
            value="Submit"/>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

    it is because you put if ( isset( $_FILES before showing the form.
