[FIXED] I am not able to retrieve file name after submission

Issue

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
        $image = $_FILES["image"]["name"];

        echo "File: " . $image;
    }

the echo is "File :" all the time

        <form action="" method="post" id="formAddProperty">
            <div id="propertyImage">
                <label for="image">Upload image:</label>
                <input type="file" name="image">
            </div>

            <input type="submit" value="Add Property" id="propertySubmit">
        </form>

I'm running a local server via mamp, is than an issue? The purpose is to get file name than its extension (which is not shown in this example).

Solution

You are missing

enctype="multipart/form-data"

in the form

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