Trouble accessing HTML form data using PHP
Question
I'm trying to build a file upload form and I'm having trouble with the very basics. My form is this:
<html>
<body>
<form action="fileuploader.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="filename" />
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
My php code so far is one line and it doesn't do anything:
<?php
echo $_POST['filename'];
?>
The idea (at this point) is just to display the name of the file entered in the form. What am I doing wrong?

You can print the filename using the following code:
<?php
echo $_FILES["filename"]["name"];
?>

Based on your code I modified it. Have a try it.
HTML Part
<html>
<body>
<form action="fileuploader.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="filename" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
PHP
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// Check if files array is not empty
if (!empty($_FILES)) {
$imageName = $_FILES['filename']['name'];
echo $imageName;
// Insert your code related to upload
}
}
