Uploading a file with javascript, and php [duplicate]

Uploading a file with html, javascript, and php

So I am trying to get my upload file code to work better. If someone could show me a simple way to upload a file, that could help me simplify my code, where it only uses javascript and PHP.

EDIT: If I could get a simple block of code in javascript and php then i could figure out the rest. I just cant find any good simple code snippets that shows the form, input, validate input, post to server, etc.

var myPatentOtherBrowseContainer = document.createElement('input');
            myPatentOtherBrowseContainer.name = 'myPatentOtherBrowseContainer';
            myPatentOtherBrowseContainer.id = 'myPatentOtherBrowseContainer';
            myPatentOtherBrowseContainer.type = 'file';
            myPatentOtherBrowseContainer.multiple = 'multiple';
            myPatentOtherBrowseContainer.size = '60';

this is just part of the code.

BTW, javascript is part of the code so it should be a tag!

Please do not repost questions. And I'd like to know what the person who upvoted this question was thinking - if anything. — Pekka

What do you mean by the Javascript side? What is the JavaScript supposed to do? For a basic example on how to build an upload form, see my link above (the "POST Upload" section) — Pekka

You want to use <input type="file" name="myFile"> and then you get access to that file through $_FILE['myFile']

Look through this tutorial, you can make the filefetching phpscript be called through AJAX if needed.

EDIT:

You pointed out you want help with the javascript part. I suggest you use jQuery to simplify any AJAX call through jQuerys .post() function.

You can read up on that here

I can't use jQuery my boss wont allow it. That's why i said javascript and not the framework jQuery. Sorry, should have been more descriptive.

Well, jQuery is only used to help with things, AJAX is still viable. Take a look at w3schools

Yeah I know.. its my boss that doesn't. W3school wont help already looked. thanks though

Well either you dont use AJAX and reload the site to catch the post or use it and catch it async. Cant have it both ways, make sure to tell your boss that :)
