HTML5 + jQuery AJAX上传-没有文件发送到服务器

Question

I'm trying to implement a HTML5 ajax file upload with the help of HTML5's File API. It is based on Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan's answer to this question.

My main aim would be to be able to let users upload .xls and .xlsx spreadsheet for later use.

HTML

<form class="form-uploadXLS" method="post" action="php/uploadXLS.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-md-12">
            <input type="file" name="xls" class="xls" />
        </div>
    </div>
    <input type="button" value="Upload" class="btn-uploadXLS" />
</form>
<progress></progress>

And here are the jQuery event handlers, just like in the above mentioned answer:

File input onChange event:

$('.xls').on('change', function () {
    var file = this.files[0];
    var fileName = file.name;
    var fileType = file.type;
    var fileSize = file.size;

    console.log("file name: " + fileName + ", type: " + fileType + ", size: " + fileSize);
});

This works correctly, the file's name, type and size gets logged to the server.

Upload button's onClick event:

$('.btn-uploadXLS').on('click', function (event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    console.log("Upload button clicked");
    var formData = new FormData($('.form-uploadXLS')[0]);

    $.ajax({
        url: 'php/uploadXLS.php', //Server script to process data
        type: 'POST',
        xhr: function () { // Custom XMLHttpRequest
            var myXhr = $.ajaxSettings.xhr();
            if (myXhr.upload) { // Check if upload property exists
                myXhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', progressHandlingFunction, false); // For handling the progress of the upload
            }
            return myXhr;
        },
        //Ajax events
        beforeSend: function (stuff) {
            console.log("BeforeSend");
            console.log(stuff);
        },
        success: function (data) {
            console.log("Success!");
            console.log(data);
        },
        error: function (error) {
            console.log("Error!");
            console.log(error);
        },
        // Form data
        data: formData,
        //Options to tell jQuery not to process data or worry about content-type.
        cache: false,
        contentType: false,
        processData: false
    });
});

On server side, I'm using this PHP code to check if the file has been sent to the server

if(!empty($_FILES['xls'])) {
    echo '<pre>',print_r($_FILES,1),'</pre>';
}
else {
    die('no $_FILES variable');
}

And here's the result of print_r:

Array
(
[xls] => Array
(
[name] =>
[type] =>
[tmp_name] =>
[error] => 4
[size] => 0
)

)

According to the documentation , error code 4 means: UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE Value: 4; No file was uploaded. UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE Value: 4; No file was uploaded.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit:

If I disable the click event listener and submit the form as normal, the file gets uploaded without problems.

I've noticed, that the formData variable doesn't have any value. This is the value of formData after it's been set: FormData { append=append()}

Answer 1

For some reason the problem was with the formData variable, previously defined as such:

var formData = new FormData($('.form-uploadXLS')[0]);

I've changed the index to 1 like this..

var formData = new FormData($('.form-uploadXLS')[1]);

.. and for some reason it works now.

Answer 2

Instead of:

if(!empty($_FILES['xls'])) {

try this:

if(!empty($_FILES['xls']['name'])) {

type = $_FILES['xls']['type']) tmp = $_FILES['xls']['tmp_name'])
