form submission error in php and html

Question

 if(isset($_POST['btn_upload']))
 {
     $filetmp = $_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'];
     $filename = $_FILES['photo']['name'];
     $filetype = $_FILES['photo']['type'];
     $filepath = "photo/".$filename;

     move_uploaded_file($filetmp,$filepath);
 }

in this code i am getting error as Undefined index: photo

here photo is the name of the input file tag which is in different html file

<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label">Upload Image</label>
<div class="col-md-4 inputGroupContainer">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<span class="btn btn-default btn-file">
Browse… <input type="file" id="imgInp" name="photo">
</span>
</span>
</div>
<img id='img-upload' />
</div>

so i tried this

$_FILES['photo']=$_POST['photo'];

but then i got error

Illegal string offset 'tmp_name'

Illegal string offset 'name'

Illegal string offset 'type'

please help me out in this.

thanks in advance

Try this, and check if the file is actually getting to the server, in the method u are processing the ur post, do this `echo json_encode($_FILES);`, if it shows nothing it means the file is not reaching the server, let me know to check if i can help u. — Francisco Hahn, Jan 23 '18 at 14:46

Your form should include enctype multipart/form-data

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="">

Try to use chrome developer console and check if your data is passing to the script. – ADIN Jan 23 '18 at 14:21
