How To Write the FORM Tag Correctly for Uploading Files?

When users clicks the submit button, files specified in the (INPUT TYPE=FILE...) will be transferred from the browser to the Web server. This transferring (uploading) process is controlled by a properly written (FORM...) tag as:

(FORM ACTION=receiving.php METHOD=post ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data)

Note that you must specify METHOD as "post" and ENCTYPE as "multipart/form-data" in order for the uploading process to work. The following PHP code, called logo_upload.php, shows you a complete FORM tag for file uploading:

(?php
print("(html)(form action=processing_uploaded_files.php"
." method=post enctype=multipart/form-data>\n");
print("Please submit an image file a Web site logo for"
." fyicenter.com:
\n");
print("(input type=file name=fyicenter_logo)
\n");
print("(input type=submit)\n");
print("(/form)(/html)\n");
?>
