Need To Upload files with PHP and Ajax

[itpvision]

Hello,

I have a registration page, it is processed to a php script through ajax and javascript,

The script worked until a input type file is involved

 

  var params = "username=" + encodeURI(document.getElementById("usernamee").value)+

"&password=" + encodeURI(document.getElementById("passwordd").value)+

"&name=" + encodeURI(document.getElementById("name").value)+

"&pic=" + pik +

;

 

As you may see,the  value retrived from the input type file with id and name as pic, this will send a usual $_POST['pic'] , while I need to Process _$FILE['pic'];

How can I send the value of a file

My understanding is that you cannot upload a file using AJAX and that the only way to upload a file is to submit a form that contains <input type='file'> field. This is the only way you php script will receive $_FILE variable.

 

I may be wrong though

Im not really getting this correctly. Your problem is that u can't pass the selected pic on the parameters of the ajax call? Im not an javascript expert but guess u can get the input file's content with 'id'.value. And by the way, the superglobal for accessing files is called $_FILES, not $_FILE.
