php - HTML5 accept attribute for image uploader - get value through POST -

i've been trying find out how utilise html5 file type accept attribute have been struggling find details best way utilize it.

at nowadays can understand gets name of file. how data? how store on server?

<input type="file" id="feature" name="feature" accept="image/*">

this php after post submission:

$pic = $_post["feature"]; echo $pic; // outputs filename

the post value of file input ever show filename. file uploaded temp file. it's move want move_uploaded_file()

http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php

from manual:

$tmp_name = $_files["feature"]["tmp_name"]; //the temporary file $name = $_files["feature"]["name"]; // it's name move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploads_dir/$name"); //put there

when working files, utilize $_files not $_post
