Unable To Call Php From Html Form

I want to call 'phpControls.php' from home.html to upload the browsed image in to a desired folder. I inspected the page in Chrome, it shows that the Upload button is not calling t

Solution 1:

Your PHP is looking for the wrong value. You have your HTML button set to name="submitBtn", the name attribute is what you're selecting in PHP when you use $_POST["submit"].

So you need to change this: if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {

To this: if(isset($_POST["submitBtn"])) {

Not sure if this is the only issue, but it should at least make your code run. :)

Solution 2:

Most probably the only reason is the wrong value being checked by isset function. Replace your phpControls.php code to the following.

<?phpecho"Enter php";
$target_dir = "SharedFolder/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["browseFile"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake imageif(isset($_POST["submitBtn"])) {
    $check = getimagesize($_FILES["browseFile"]["tmp_name"]);
    if($check !== false) {
        echo"File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
        $uploadOk = 1;
    } else {
        echo"File is not an image.";
        $uploadOk = 0;
    }
}
echo"Exit php";
?>
