i have a browse input field without a form.
<div class="bottom_wrapper clearfix">
<div class="message_input_wrapper">
<!--<input placeholder="Type your message here..." class="message_input"><a href="#"><img src="/public/img/camera.png" alt="camera" /></a>!-->
<input type="hidden" name="contactid" id="contactID" value="">
<input class="message_input" id="msg" name="msg" placeholder="Type your message here..." />
<input type="hidden" id="image" value="<%= userid %>">
<div class="image-upload">
<label for="file-input">
<img src="/public/img/camera.png"/>
</label>
<input id="file-input" name="file" type="file"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="send_message">
<div class="icon"></div>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Send" onclick="submitFunction(document.getElementById('contactID').value)">
</div>
</div>
when i click on camera image a browse option will execute .
and here is my function which is i used for simple text posting but i want to modify it to send file as well.
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitFunction(contactid) {
var image = document.getElementById('image').value;
var msg = document.getElementById('msg').value;
var contactid = document.getElementById('contactID').value;
var data = {};
data.message = msg;
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "/messages/" + contactid,
data: {message: msg}
})
.done(function (msg1) {
$("#msg").val("");
$(".chat_window ul").append('<li class="message right appeared"><div class="avatar"><img src="http://example.com/getUserImage/' + image + '/60"/></div><div class="text_wrapper"><div class="text">' + msg + '</div></div></li>');
});
}
</script>
To upload image using $.ajax method, you need to create FormData object.
eg. var formData = new FormData();
then add your image and other data into formData object
formData.append("image",$('input[type=file]')[0].files[0]);
and then pass this formData as parameter or data to jquery ajax method.
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "/messages/" + contactid,
data: formData,
// THIS MUST BE DONE FOR FILE UPLOADING
contentType: false,
processData: false
})
You need to serailize the data to be sent, so you can either use jQuerys $('form').serialize() or use FormData() here are the API docs
So a simple example would be something like this:
<form class="bottom_wrapper clearfix" form id="chatForm" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/postMessage">
<div class="message_input_wrapper">
<input type="hidden" name="contactid" id="contactID" value="">
<input class="message_input" id="msg" name="msg" placeholder="Type your message here..." />
<input type="hidden" id="image" value="<%= userid %>">
<div class="image-upload">
<label for="file-input">
<img src="/public/img/camera.png"/>
</label>
<input id="file-input" name="file" type="file"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="send_message">
<div class="icon"></div>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Send">
</div>
</div>
So your input fields should be wrapped in a form to serialize all the form inputs to data, then simply post all the message together.
$('#chatForm').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var formData = new FormData(this);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: $(this).attr('action'),
data:formData,
cache:false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success: function(data) {
// Success handling code
},
error: function(data) {
// Error handling code
}
});
});
Then it is down to your server to handle the message with all the parts
I just want to make @Sachin K answer easier to understand. it's true that you have to make formData Object to post/upload a file or an image.
first, create formData.
var formData = new FormData();
if in a form (your form id is 'myForm')
var formData = new FormData($('#myForm')[0]);
second, add input file into formData.
formData.append("image",$('#file')[0]);
* 'file' is your input file id.
if your input file is in a form (myForm), you can skip this step.
The last, post proccess.
$.ajax({
url: "input_data.php",
type: "POST",
data : formData,
contentType: false,
cache: false,
processData:false,
success:function(res){
alert('image post succesfully!');
}
});
I found it somewhere and its working fine. May be it helps to you.
<script type="text/javascript">`$('#submit').on('click', function() {
var file_data = $('#file-input').prop('files')[0];
var form_data = new FormData();
form_data.append('file', file_data);
alert(form_data);
$.ajax({
url: 'upload.php', // point to server-side PHP script
dataType: 'text', // what to expect back from the PHP script, if anything
cache: false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
data: form_data,
type: 'post',
success: function(php_script_response){
alert(php_script_response); // display response from the PHP script, if any
}
});
}); `
And upload.php
<?php
if ( 0 < $_FILES['file']['error'] ) {
echo 'Error: ' . $_FILES['file']['error'] . '<br>';
}
else {
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], 'uploads/' . $_FILES['file']['name']);
}
?>
