php文件上传不起作用

Question

I have a HTML page,where file input type is defined. but when i try uploading it, its not working using move function. then found that, echoing file name itself not printing anything after selecting any file...

HTML:

<form id="upload_items" name="upload_items" method="post" action="items.php">
  <input type="file" name="itemlist_file" id="itemlist_file" />
  <br />  <br />
  <input type="submit" name="Upload" value="Upload" id="Upload" />
  </form>

Form submission php page:

error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);
echo (basename($_FILES["itemlist_file"]["name"])

Output:

Nothing displayed...

Answer 1

You need to add this to the form :-

enctype='multipart/form-data'

enctype='multipart/form-data is an encoding type that allows files to be sent through a POST. Quite simply, without this encoding the files cannot be sent through POST.
