File Upload $_files empty

[Frank Schneider]

I have a Processwire application. In it I have two areas company and their employees. I insert an image in Employees and upload it, it works fine so far, now I do the same in the company and want to use it as a logo, it doesn't work there. When I click save, the $_files field is empty, but not for the employee. So exactly the same as with the employee does not work, same fields, same code.

The field is defined in fields as Image and assigned to the template

I've searched the whole internet but can't find the reason.

my code:

 

$form_fields = array(

    .....

    'foto' => array('type' => 'file', 'required' => true),

);

// --- WireUpload settings ---

$upload_path = $config->paths->assets . "files/.tmp_uploads/"; // tmp upload folder

$file_extensions = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png');

$max_files = 1;

$max_upload_size = 1*1024*1024; // make sure PHP's upload and post max size is also set to a reasonable size

$overwrite = false;

$update_page        = ($page->url == $pages->get("/firmenverwaltung/edit/")->url) ? $pages->get("id=".(int)$input->urlSegment0) : null;

$file_field = "foto";

 

 

//HTML

        <div class="col-lg-6">

                    <div class="form-group">

                        <label class="form-control-label">Logo: <?php if ($form_fields['foto']['required']) { ?><span class="tx-danger">*</span><?php } ?></label>

                    

                        <div class="<?php if ($errors["foto"]) { echo "parsley-error"; } ?> custom-file">

                            <input id="foto" type="file" name="foto[]">

                        </div>

                        

                        <?php showError($errors, "foto"); ?>

                    </div>

                    

                    <?php

                    if ($firma)

                    {

                        $foto = null;

                        foreach ($firma->foto as $image)

                        {

                            $foto = $image->width(250);

                            break;

                        }

                        if ($foto != null)

                        {

                            echo "<img src='".$foto->url."' />";

                        }

                    }

                    ?>

                </div>

 

//Save

if($input->post->action == 'send')

{

 

// first validate the CSRF token to check if it is a valid request

if(!$session->CSRF->hasValidToken()){$errors['csrf'] = "Form submit was not valid, please try again."; }

 

  //Look for required fields and make sure they have a value

foreach($required_fields as $req)

{

        //print_r($_FILES);

        //die;

        

// required file upload field

if($form_fields[$req]['type'] == 'file'){if(empty($_FILES[$req]['name'][0])){$errors[$req] = "Wählen Sie Dateien zum Hochladen aus.."; }

            

  } else if($form_fields[$req]['type'] == 'checkbox'){if($form_fields[$req]['value'] == 0){$errors[$req] = "field necessary.";}

        

// erforderliche Textfelder

} else if($form_fields[$req]['type'] == 'text'

|| $form_fields[$req]['type'] == 'textarea'

|| $form_fields[$req]['type'] == 'email')

{

if(!strlen($form_fields[$req]['value'])){$errors[$req] = "Feld notwendig."; }

 

// reqired email fields

if($form_fields[$req]['type'] == 'email')

{

if($form_fields[$req]['value'] != $input->post->$req){$errors[$req] = "Bitte eine gültige E-Mail Adresse angeben.";}

}

}

}

How are you uploading from the client? Does your form element have the attribute enctype="multipart/form-data"?

[Frank Schneider]

i add this and no changes, $_FILES is empty

[Jan Romero]

@Frank Schneider Did you get it fixed? I fear there may not be enough information here to diagnose it. You should look at the POST request in your browser console and maybe post the (presumably javascript) code that makes the request in this thread.

To me this looks like a redirect issue. Thing is, that $_FILES gets cleared when POST requests are redirected. You can check for redirects in your browser dev tool's network tab when you submit the form. 

If you use the exact same form for both submissions (company and employee), you need to check what is different when you submit the form. Is the form action URL for both exactly the same? Do you have any code in place that redirects the form submission to a different URL when using it for employee?
