I have following html
<form action="upload.php" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Enter 10 digit mobile number <input id="imgphno" type="text" maxlength="10" />
<br/><br/>
<input id="file" type="file" name="file" />
<br/><br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" id="sndimg"/>
</form>
when i run it browser address bar shows
http://116.75.128.138/balasaheb/upload.php?file=thumb.jpg&submit=Send
how do i access the textbox contents in upload.php?
You are using GET method to send form's data to upload page.
You can reach that variables using _GET["submit"] _GET["file"]
And add name property to <input id="imgphno" type="text" maxlength="10" />
But you need to send data using POST method to reach contents of thumb.jpg.
POST but to include the url i did that. Files are being uploaded successfully but i am not able to access the context of text box. That is my question.
<input id="imgphno" type="text" maxlength="10" name="telno" /> after that you can see that input area on the url and you can reach it.
_GET you're missing something crucial. Plus, _GET["file"] won't work. POST must be used when uploading files, therefore you need to edit your answer accordingly for future visitors to the Q&A._POST empty while using file and text in form
When uploading files, POST must be used and not GET. Uploads won't work with the GET method.
method="post"Also make sure your PHP contains $_POST and not $_GET which you haven't shown us.
If you want to get the value of the text box use, and name your form element:
<input id="imgphno" type="text" maxlength="10" name="textbox" />
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
then use it as:
$text = $_POST['textbox'];
you can't rely solely on id but name to pass a form element.
then do as you wish from there, but use POST again... not GET since you're uploading also.
As per the manual http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php
This function checks to ensure that the file designated by filename is a valid upload file (meaning that it was uploaded via PHP's HTTP POST upload mechanism). If the file is valid, it will be moved to the filename given by destination.
Another answer given on Stack to support this:
move_uploaded_file()is only for files that were uploaded via POST.
