i have this input type
<input class="btn btn-success" type="file" name="profile_image" style="margin-top:10px; margin-left:20px;"></input>
user will add the image file from here, and the PHP code to upload the file
if(isset($_FILES['profile_image']))
{
$image_type = $this->getImageType($_FILES['profile_image']);
if($image_type == 'image')
{
$extension = pathinfo($_FILES['profile_image']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$filename = '123_'.uniqid().'.'.$extension;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['profile_image']['tmp_name'], '../functions/images/images/'.$filename);
}
}
else
{
$filename = 'default_profile_image.jpg';
}
and the getImageType
public function getImageType($file)
{
$imageMime = getimagesize($file['tmp_name']);
$type = explode('/', $imageMime['mime']);
return $type[0];
}
but it does not read $_FILES['profile_image']
and rather moves to else part. why does it not read $_FILES ? is there anything missing?
