Uploading viles via php

[TheReckter]

Hello, I tried uploading a file via the following method, however it
does not work, I was wondering what I did wrong as I can not see it.

form.html
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" id="file" />
<input type="hidden" value="hey" id="joe" />
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

upload.php
<?php
print_r($_FILES);
?>

More than likely you will need to set the MAX_FILE_SIZE in your HTML
form to allow you to upload the file. Make sure you add this prior to
the file input field, and the value is in bytes so 1024 bytes is equal
to 1KB and 1048576 bytes is equal to 1MB. Also for the file input
field make sure you use name instead of id:

<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-
data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form

Hope that this helps.

Nope, I never do that, all my file-uploads work.

Also for the file input
field make sure you use name instead of id:

Or both a name & id, I think the lack of a name could very well be the
problem indeed.

Indeed -- form fields want names.
