Problem when uploading a file in form

[agarwalsrushti]

Hi,
Ive created a registration page in which at the last it asks the user to upload the resume file. When the user clicks on the upload button to upload the file it automativcally submits all the data entered in the form. I want that when the user uploads the file after clicking the upload button it should display the message of successful upload on the same page itself. Then when the user clicks on the submit button the data should be entered in the database.
Ive attached the registration form file plz let me know how i can fix this problem.
I ve given the required code below.

<tr>
    <td bgcolor="#ECE9D8"> <div align="center">
      <span class="style14">
      <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="8000000">
       Select file: </span>
<input type="file" name="data">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload File">
</div>
      </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="38" bgcolor="#ECE9D8"><div align="center">
 
      <input name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset" value="Reset" />
      <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
 
    </div></td>
  </tr>
  </form>
 
 <?php
} else {
// check uploaded file size
if ($_FILES['data']['size'] == 0) {
die("ERROR: Zero byte file upload");
}
 
// check if file type is allowed (optional)
$allowedFileTypes = array("text/plain", "application/msword");
if (!in_array($_FILES['data']['type'], $allowedFileTypes)) {
die("ERROR: File type not permitted");
}
 
// check if this is a valid upload
if (!is_uploaded_file($_FILES['data']['tmp_name'])) {
die("ERROR: Not a valid file upload");
}
 
// set the name of the target directory
$uploadDir = "./uploads/";
 
// copy the uploaded file to the directory
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['data']['tmp_name'], $uploadDir .$_FILES['data']['name']) or die("Cannot copy uploaded file");
 
// display success message
echo "File successfully uploaded. " ;
}

Do you mean that the user has to click twice? Once for the upload and once for the passing of the form variables. Then you better make sure that you also have 2 forms.

hi,
i think your submit button name is submit, is it correct?
please change your submit button name.

Why do you care what the submit button name is when you don't test the $_POST['submit'] parm?

Another thing is that you have 2 type=submit buttons so, whichever you click, the form will be submitted despite the text on the button (submit or upload).

Yes i know the problem is because of 2 type=submit buttons. Is there any way by which this problem can be solved. On normal job sites when you upload the file it doesnt submits the dat.

Why do you need 2 submit buttons in the first place?

You're talking about uploading an image without refreshing the page.
You'll need to use a hiden iframe for that.

Can't say much more as im ill!

A submit button submits the form in which it is included. So when you use 2 of those, you make 2 forms, each with its own submit/upload button.

And when you don't know what an iframe is, I suggest that you follow Mark's advice and do some toturialing on HTML and PHP.
