File upload in ajax with PHP

[newlearner]

hi,
im trying to upload a file using ajax and php. im not able to get the $FILES[fileName][tmp_name] and
$FILES[fileName][name].

But when i try it out in the traditional format its works good. but when i try it out in ajax im not able to get these values.

I use POST method and the requestHeader's content type is set as multipart/form-data.

Looking forward .....

Thanks in advance for the reply

Heya, newlearner.

Check the 'error' index of your file.

For security reasons, you cannot upload files via ajax. The only solution is to use an iframe or popup window.

Yes i tried out file uploader already. the uploading file was ina traditional way with form method and post. I was curious aout doing it in ajax alone.

Thanks for ur valuable suggestions..
