try this

function uploadFile(blobFile, fileName){
  var fd = new FormData();
  fd.append("fileToUpload", blobFile);

  $.ajax({
    url: "upload.php",
    type: "POST",
    data: fd,
    processData: false,
    contentType: false,
    success: function(response){
      // .. do something
    },
    error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorMessage){
      console.log(errorMessage); // Optional
    }
  });
}

That because your formData contain just the file field added in :

formData.append('file', $('input[type=file]')[0].files[0]);

You could add fname field using :

formData.append("fname", $('#fname').val());

Then it will be sent and accessible from php page using $_POST['fname'];.

Or you could add all the form fields to the formData :

var formData = new FormData( $("form#newUserForm") );

Hope this helps.

You are very close ;)

/* pass form reference to populate all inputs expect type="file" */
var formData = new FormData($('#newUserForm')[0]);

/* Then simply append type="file" field(s) */
formData.append('file', $('input[type=file]')[0].files[0]);
