Php's $_files["file"]["name"] Not Functioning Properly

Last time I asked a question here I messed up but I think I got it now. Please let me know if I can ask better :D I am using an HTML form with PHP and am trying to get a file name

Solution 1:

You're missing your enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute in your <form> tag. Without it the file will not upload.

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" role="form" 
    class="form-horizontal" action=<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?> method="post">
