upload file inside plugin

Hello,
I have this code inside my plugin,

<div>
<form name=“myuploadform” method=“post” enctype=“multipart/form-data”> Select file to upload: <input type=“file” name=“fileToUpload” id=“fileToUpload”> <i class=“fa fa fa-globe”></i> <input class=“link-button” type=“submit” value=“Upload File” name=“uploadsubmit” id=“uploadsubmit”>
</form>
</div>

public function hw_panel($evt, $stp) {

$available_steps = array( ‘list’ => true, ); if (!$stp or !bouncer($stp, $available_steps)) { $stp = ‘list’; }

if (isset($_POST[“uploadsubmit”]))
{ $target_dir = “tmp/”; echo realpath(“tmp/”); // correct path

$fileName = basename($_FILES[“fileToUpload”][“name”]); $target_file = $target_dir . $fileName; $uploadOk = 1; if (file_exists($target_file)) { echo “Sorry, file already exists.”; $uploadOk = 0; } if ($uploadOk == 0) { echo “Sorry, your file was not uploaded.”; } else { if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES[“fileToUpload”][“tmp_name”], $target_file)) { echo “The file “. htmlspecialchars($fileName). “ has been uploaded.”; } else { echo “Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.”; } } } $this->$stp(); }

The issue I’m having is that $_FILES[“fileToUpload”] returns null, no files (I’m sure the file is selected).
any idea, what I’m missing, what call back I need to to put the code somewhere else ?
BTW: same code outside the plugin works just fine.

Thank you

Re: upload file inside plugin

Depending on how you register your callback or handle it via bouncer() I’m surprised it runs at all. The “list” call is expecting a CSRF token to be passed too, so you’ll need to add form_token() to your form.

Other things to check:

• The file size doesn’t exceed your Txp prefs value for max file size.
• The file size doesn’t exceed the php.ini max size.
• The POSTed payload doesn’t exceed the max size.
• There aren’t any server-level modules installed that interfere with it (e.g. suhosin).
• All.permissions are correct.
