Hello everyone,

 

I'm creating a user information form which includes an image uploader as well as several text inputs.

 

The problem is with...

 

<form  ENCTYPE = "multipart/form-data"></form>

 

When I have ENCTYPE set to multipart/form-data the image uploader works but not the text inputs.

 

When its not set text inputs work but image uploader doesn't work.

 

Anyone have insight into why this is and a good solution?

 

Thanks

A google search for "enctype problem php" or "enctype POST" will bring up many results of people having similar problems.

 

A few examples

 

http://www.mombu.com/php/php/t-26004-post-variables-not-set-when-using-enctypemultipartform-data-965455-last.html

 

http://www.gidforums.com/t-6614.html

 

http://forums.devshed.com/apache-development-15/enctype-multipart-form-data-a-problem-14785.html

 

All reports say the same thing as soon as ENCTYPE is set to multipart/form-data the form processing stops working.

 

I've been reading page after page and still no solution...

Your form works for me (after adding enctype="multipart/form-data") in FF4 and IE8.

 

What does the following show, after the form has been submitted -

 

echo "<pre>";
echo "GET:";
print_r($_GET);
echo "POST:";
print_r($_POST);
echo "FILES:";
print_r($_FILES);
echo "</pre>";

I included the echo commands at the very end of edituser.php and got back...

 

GET:Array
(
    [user] => 1
)
POST:Array

FILES:Array

I'm having all kinds of problems editing my php.ini , I had to totally reset it.

 

Reason being I was editing it and expecting effects but I didn't realize you had to restart for the change to take effect.

 

Could you post the contents of your php.ini since the code seems to be working on your machine.

 

NEVER mind I reset php.ini and changed post_max_size and everything is now working, thanks to everyone who replied
