I am new to PHP and am following a tutorial on YouTube. I have everything working in this file, except for the file uploading, any help would be appreciated. Here is the error i am getting:
*NOTE: I have looked for this many times, but could not find undefined index error relevant to $_FILES...
Notice: Undefined index: avatar in /Applications/xxx on line 95
Notice: Undefined index: avatar in /Applications/xxx on line 96
Notice: Undefined index: avatar in /Applications/xxx on line 97
Notice: Undefined index: avatar in /Applications/xxx on line 98
Sorry for this if it is a simple fix...

For uploading files, you must use the enctype in form tag.
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action='register.php' method='post'>
