Forms Using EncType = Multipart - Text Is Not Passed !

Dear Friends
Hope you all are doing great.

I am using a form to add text data to the database. With this form I
am also using a file field to upload a image file.

To use the first thing that is just data I dont have to write EncType
as it picks the default one. But to use the second one that is to
upload an image. I need to write EncType = "multipart/form-data". When
I do this the text passed from the other text field goes blank.

Why is it happening.

Is it that I cant get text data when I use
EncType="multipart/form-data".

Please help in solving this problem.

Love
Lovely

Of course you can. Dealing with a text field is much easier than
processing the file field. But exactly how you do that depends on the
server-side technology used and is external to HTML.

HTML only defines how the data is sent - in this case, as a set of
documents inside a multipart message.

Because your server-side process (you didn't say what you're using)
conveniently sets Request.Form variables (or the equivalent) for you
if and only if you use the default enctype (as is the case in Active
Server Pages). Otherwise, you're on your own to parse them out of the
request.
