PHP - Handling File Uploads

In this article we will see how to upload files on PHP web page. You have to set up the form as a multipart form if you want to use file upload controls. In this example, that means you set the <form> element's enctype (encoding type) attribute to "multipart/form-data". You can also set the action attribute to the URL where you want the file data to be sent and the method to "post".

About the example : We have a file fileUploadForm.php, it will be used as a form to browse and upload file and of course it can have other form elements (text, checkbox, radobutton etc) as well. The action attribute is set to URL submitFile.php which will handle the file. It can specify the location where to save the file. Please see the self explanatory example below.

PHP - Form elements

In this article we will see how to create form in PHP and send data to next PHP page. Like other languages you need to specify the methods with which your data will be sent - "GET" and "POST". If you've used the POST method, you can find that data in the $_POST array similarly if you've used the GET method, you use the $_GET array. These array are "super global" arrays, which means that they're available to you without having to use the global keyword. Also, there is a $_REQUEST array which holds data from both $_GET and $_POST array.

We will create a form which contain various form elements like text box, password, radio button, select dropdown, text area and check box.

This article will help you to know how you can create a pagination in any webpage. Here I have used it in JavaScript, of course you can use it in any other language as u wish like Java, PHP, ASP etc.

What is Pagination?

Pagination is nothing but the sequence of numbers assigned to a content in webpage. Lets say if you want to show number of contents in a particular web page, its not recommended to show all of them in a single page instead show specific number of contents in one page followed by next set of content in next page and provide navigation to go through each page. In the same way when we do Google search you can see navigation appears at the bottom of the page to go to the next page.
