Ajax

Question

I'm trying to send input file and input text through ajax. Because I'll add this feature to my existing function that has plenty of other variables I cannot simply use sending the entire Form like the one used here

Uploading both data and files in one form using Ajax?

This is the basic gist of it

My HTML

<input type='text' name='text' id='text'>
<input type='file' name='media' type="file" / id='media'>
<input type="button" value="Upload" name='submit'/>

My Ajax

$(":button").click(function(){
        var myFormData = new FormData();
        var media = document.getElementById('media');
        var variable = 'foo';
        myFormData.append('pictureFile', media.files[0]);
        var text = $("#text").val();
        $.ajax({ 
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'upload.php',
            data: 
            {
                pictureFile: myFormData,
                text: text,
                var: variable,
            },  
            cache: false,
            success: function (data) {
                alert(data);
            },
            processData: false,
            contentType: false, 
        });
});

PHP

include_once ("connection.php");
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){

    $temp_name = $_FILES['pictureFile']['name'];
    $pic_type = $_FILES['pictureFile']['type'];

    $pic_temp = $_FILES['pictureFile']['tmp_name'];
    $pic_path = "images/";
    move_uploaded_file($pic_temp,'images/'.$temp_name);

}

So as shown in my code I need a way to send those var media, var text and var variable from data:{}, to upload.php

You can achieve that by using append

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Jquery Ajax File Upload</title>
</head>
<body>
    <input type='text' name='text' id='text'>
    <input type="file" name="media" id="media">
    <div class="result"></div>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#media').change(function(e){
            var file = this.files[0];
            var form = new FormData();
            form.append('media', file);
            form.append('text', $('#text').val());
            $.ajax({
                url : "upload.php",
                type: "POST",
                cache: false,
                contentType: false,
                processData: false,
                data : form,
                success: function(response){
                    $('.result').html(response.html)
                }
            });
        });
    });
    </script>
</body>
</html>
