i fixed it thanks, but it did not help
ASKER
it looks like $_FILES is empty . Why ?
$("#excel #buttonUpload").live("click", function(event){
// send nothing (or some cookies & donuts) to upl3.php
$.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: "upl3.php" });
// hide the modal
fx.boxout(event);
// set the value of a form?
$("#form").val(5);
// submit the form and reload the page
$("#ctrform").submit();
});

Leakim,
I set form value to 5, for further logic I removed for simplicity.
I want to submit that form after i upload and process my excel file, but the form which i am using
to upload the file is inside my modal window
I read the info, so yes I am using iframe in my file upload. I was thinking that since
$_FILES is superglobal it will be accessible in ajax call.
And yes i need more help

So my problem is how to pass $_FILES to upl3.php where I could process it ?
in upl2.php you should have : <form name="excel" id="excel" action="upl3.php"
and you don't need :
and you don't need :
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "upl3.php"
});
another problem, is fx.boxout(event) :
$(".modal-window, .modal-overlay")
.fadeOut("slow",function()
$(this).remove();
}
);
This remove the form+iframe before having successfully posted the data (excel file)
$(".modal-window, .modal-overlay")
.fadeOut("slow",function()
$(this).remove();
}
);
This remove the form+iframe before having successfully posted the data (excel file)
ASKER
I changed upl1.php to, does not seem to submit the form
and also changed form in upl2
and also changed form in upl2
$("#excel #buttonUpload").live(
"click", function(event){
$("#excel").submit();
fx.boxout(event);
$("#form").val(5);
$("#ctrform").submit();
}
);
upl2:
<form name="excel" id="excel" action="upl3.php"
method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"
target="upload_target">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tableForm">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Please select a file and click Upload button</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><input id="fileToUpload" type="file" size="25" name="fileToUpload" class="input"></td> </tr>
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td><button id="buttonUpload" class="button">Upload</button></td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
</form>
<iframe id="upload_target" name="upload_target" src="#" style="display:none"></iframe>
FORM_MARKUP;
because your line 6 : fx.boxout(event);
it remove the modal and its content before posting anything
replace :
it remove the modal and its content before posting anything
replace :
$("#excel #buttonUpload").live(
"click", function(event){
$("#excel").submit();
fx.boxout(event);
$("#form").val(5);

}
);
$("#excel #buttonUpload").live("click", function(event){
//$.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: "upl3.php" });
$("#upload_target").load(function() {
fx.boxout(event);
})
$("#form").val(5);
//$("#ctrform").submit();
});
ASKER
Hmm...Did you check it ?. For me it is not calling upl3
Besides question when $("#upload_target").load is triggered ? after Excel is uploaded ?
