html/php, uploaded files not being stored in $_FIL

Question

I have a form where a user submits the description of an object (including an image) and there is JavaScript that adds an additional set of inputs for +1 object description. When the form is submitted the file information is not stored in $_FILES.

The form tag is <form id="order_form" name="order_form" method="post" action="#">

The file type input is <input type="file" name="order_image[]" />.

print_r($_FILES); returns

array()

Does anyone have an idea as to why this might be happening. I will gladly include any other information that might be pertinent to this question.

Answer 1

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">

be sure you include enctype

Answer 2

Have you set the correct encoding type in your form tag?

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action=...>
