Creating a file upload form in the Control Panel
Development and Programming
I am trying to create an extension that will be able to upload a file (CSV) and store it into a weblog. I have almost all of the form finished up but I cannot seem to add a file input to the form. If I just add the HTML to the $DSP->body it will show up but nothing shows up in the $_FILES array.
Is there anything I missed as far as Expression Engine functions that enable this type of functionality?
I don’t know whether you managed to solve this (you probably have by now!). But for anyone else looking for a solution to this as I was, here’s what worked for me:
Add the attribute enctype=”multipart/form-data” to you form declaration.
Hope this helps

Also if you are doing this in the publish page then don’t forget the newly created Fieldframe and the excellent nGen File Field.
Best wishes,
