I have this script,so it goes to ../AdsCreate/CreateCar.php reads the form and inserts into databse and loads page into a certain div which all works fine.
I have one problem one part of the form is to upload an image,now that it does not do I have been told it's because that script below serialize the data and does not do that for file based.
Here is the script.
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("#Submit").click(function() {
var url = "../AdsCreate/CreateCar.php"; // the script where you handle the form input.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: $("#myForm").serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
success: function(html){ $("#right").html(html); }
});
return false; // avoid to execute the actual submit of the form.
});
});
</script>
Here is my form
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="myForm">
<table class="default1" style="width: 100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="content1" colspan="3"><h3><b>Car Ads</b></h3></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="content1" width="70%">Make: <input type="text" name="name"></td>
<td class="content1" width="15%">Model: <input type="text" name = "email"></td>
<td class="content1" width="15%">Year: <input type="text" name = "phone"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="content1" colspan="3">Main Photo: <input type="file" name="photo"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="content1" colspan="3"><input type="submit" value="Upload" id="Submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
How can I change the script so I can upload a form that also has a file upload??
You can upload file separately using this plugin:
You can also use jQuery Forms to upload File:
Make sure to disable submit button once a file is selected so it will upload the image first before the user can submit the form.
