VueJS：$_FILES 不接收从前端到后端的数据

Question

I tried different ways to upload images to SQL, but the problem is that I cannot get the file's data at backend. Some answers say that it's because the form does not have an enctype but I tried that too. I'm not sure if it's applicable to Vue since I am using axios. Also, I tried using uploadFile as a parameter for the axios so $_FILES would also read it as $_GET, because it worked on some of my codes as well. By the way, the submitTestData is in another file in another folder, which is inside a store (VueX). I used dispatch to send the data towards the store so that it would finally send a post method to backend.

store.js

  submitTestData2 ({ commit }, payload) {
        console.log(payload.uploadFile)
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
          const formData = new FormData()
          formData.append('uploadFile', payload.uploadFile)
          const config = {
            headers: { 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data' }
          }
          axios
            .post(
              'http://localhost/MyComposer/',
              {
                token: payload.token,
                subject: payload.subject,
                timer: payload.timer,
                question: payload.question,
                answer: payload.answer,
                formData
              },
              {
                params: {
                  submitId: 7,
                  uploadFile: formData
                },
                config
              }
            )
            .then(response => {
              commit('SAVE_TEST_DATA', response.data)
              console.log(response)
              resolve(response)
            })
            .catch(error => {
              reject(error)
            })
        })
      },

Answer 1

You need to pass header as well like below

submitTestData ({ commit }, payload) {
    console.log(payload.uploadFile)
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const formData = new FormData()
      formData.append('uploadFile', payload.uploadFile)
      const config = {
            headers:{'Content-Type' : 'multipart/form-data'}
       };
      axios
        .post('http://localhost/MyComposer/',formData,config)
        .then(response => {
          commit('SAVE_TEST_DATA', response.data)
          console.log(response)
          resolve(response)
        })
        .catch(error => {
          reject(error)
        })
    })
  },

It looks like you're not getting the file's name properly from the $_FILES superglobal. You have $_FILES['uploadFile'] in your code however the $_FILES array is structured like this for uploads ( uploadFile represents the name of the file upload input field from your form so this varies by input field name ):

Array
(
    [uploadFile] => Array
            (
                      [name] => users_file_name.png
                      [type] => image/png
                      [tmp_name] => /path/to/temporary/files/abc123
                      [error] => 0
                      [size] => 12345
            )
)

So to access the file's name, you need to change the code to this: $_FILES['uploadFile']['name'].

The actual file is stored in a temporary file location on the server so you'll need to grab that temporary file and move it somewhere else on your server. Something like this is what most people do:

$temp_file = $_FILES['uploadFile']['tmp_name'];
$target_upload_destination = 'path/to/desired/directory/' . basename($_FILES['uploadFile']['name']);

// Check to see that the file was moved to desired destination successfully
if (move_uploaded_file($temp_file, $target_upload_destination)) {
      // do something here
    } else {
      // Fallback logic here
}

Obviously there should be some logic checks before moving the temp file on your server but, I hope you get the basic idea behind this. You should use the file path once it's moved for the DB insert. I hope this helps.

There are several problems here both in your client-side and server-side code.

Client side

If you want to send a file, you must use a multipart/form-data request with a FormData payload. You appear to be trying to combine a JSON payload with an embedded FormData which simply won't work.

You need something like this

const formData = new FormData()
Object.entries(payload).forEach(([key, val]) => {
  // adds all the properties in "payload" to "formData"
  formData.append(key, val)
})

axios.post('http://localhost/MyComposer', formData, {
  params: { submitId: 7 }
})

❗ Note that there is no Content-type header added. Passing a FormData instance sets this automatically with the required mime boundaries.

Server-side

On the PHP side, you would get the token , subject , timer , etc values from $_POST

$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$access_id = $_POST['token'];
$question = $_POST['question'];
// etc

The upload file will be available in $_FILES (seehttps://www.php.net/manual/features.file-upload.post-method.php )

$uploadFile = $_FILES['uploadFile'];
if (!$uploadFile['error']) {
  echo $uploadFile['name'];
}
