      }
    }
  }

  {
  echo "Invalid file".$_FILES["file"];
  }

print_r($_REQUEST['form']);



?>

 

and here is my form

 

why is it displaying this error??

 

 <form  action="/include/addfixture.php" method="post" onsubmit="return AIM.submit(this, {'onStart' : startCallback, 'onComplete' : completeCallback})"enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <div><label>Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" /></div>
      <div><label>File:</label> <input type="file" name="file" /></div>
      <div><input type="submit" name="form"value="SUBMIT" /></div>
   </form>

Because the first time you load the page the form hasn't been submitted, which means the $_REQUEST array is empty. Therefore when you try and echo out the 'form' element of the array, it doesn't exist, hence, undefined index.

Hmm...I don't see it..but maybe that's because I just work up lol...

 

Instead of using $_REQUEST['form'] why not use $_POST['form']?  To me it just looks nicer.
