GingerRobot Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 You need to specify an enctype in your form: <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" name="formnewuser" id="formnewuser"> Without that, the server isn't expecting file as well as the other form data.

ryanschefke Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 GingerRobot - You are the best! That was it!!! Next time I will spare myself the 2 days of trying to debug and ask an expert like you. Seriously, you saved me a lot of time and I was jumping up and down when I realized it worked.

ryanschefke Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 I just ran a few more tests. The name, size, etc of the file output is now working; however, the redirect stopped working. In other words, when everything is filled out okay I want to use the following line: header ('Location: signupthanks.php?un='.$un.'&em='.$em); to send the user to another page. It was working but it 'magically' stopped and just refreshes back to the same page.

ryanschefke Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I am all set here. I found the problem. I was outputing something via an echo above the header and that prevented the redirect. This thread is closed.
