[SOLVED] Problem:$_FILES always empty after uploading
kurdtpage replied to Lefteris's topic in PHP Coding Help
It's 2023 and I just had the exact same issue. Here is how I solved mine (hopefully stopping someone in the future from having a headache!) <!doctype html> <html lang="en" data-bs-theme="dark"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> </head> <body> <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="formid" action="php/submit_file.php"> <div class="form-floating mb-3"> <label for="job_file" class="form-label">Photos</label> <input type="file" id="job_file" name="job_file[]" placeholder="file" class="form-control" aria-describedby="job_fileHelp" form="form" accept="image/*" onfocus="$('.help').hide();$('#job_fileHelp').show();" value="" multiple> </div> <button type="submit" id="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button> </form> <div id="message"></div> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.4.min.js" crossorigin="anonymous" integrity="sha256-oP6HI9z1XaZNBrJURtCoUT5SUnxFr8s3BzRl+cbzUq8="></script> </body> </html> And for the PHP: <?php $data = array( 'success' => false, 'error' => '', 'debug' => [ '$_POST' => $_POST, '$_FILES' => $_FILES, 'post_max_size' => ini_get('post_max_size'), 'upload_max_filesize' => ini_get('upload_max_filesize'), 'file_uploads' => ini_get('file_uploads') ] ); /* Do some processing here */ if ($data['error'] == '') { $data['success'] = true; } header('Content-Type: application/json'); echo json_encode($data); //basically converts php arrays into js objects On submitting the form, I would always get an empty $_FILES array: {"success":true,"error":"","debug":{"$_POST":[],"$_FILES":[],"post_max_size":"20M","upload_max_filesize":"20M","file_uploads":"1"}} What I did to solve my issue was the html form had an ID of "formid", but the input tag was attached to the form with ID of "form". I didn't think it actually mattered to PHP, but apparently it does.
