Two file uploads in two different forms on one page

Question

I've got two different forms, with two different file uploads.

<form action="index.php" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="id" value="form1">
  <input type="file" name="form1" id="form1">
</form>

<form action="index.php" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="id" value="form2">
  <input type="file" name="form2" id="form2">
</form>

This is my php code

switch ($_POST['id']) {
    case 'form1':
      echo basename($_FILES["form1"]["name"]);
      //Output gives me the filename
      break;

    case 'form2':
      echo basename($_FILES["form2"]["name"]);
      //Output is empty
      break;
  }

When I'm trying to get the filename of the second form, it outputs nothing.

Thanks for helping!

make sure don't forget to put the `enctype` – Kevin Jul 23 '18 at 01:12 — Kevin, Jul 23 '18 at 01:12
How are you trying to submit the form ? – Sourabh Jul 23 '18 at 01:13 — Sourabh, Jul 23 '18 at 01:13
By a submit button. Didn't put that in the example here – Leonard Niehaus Jul 23 '18 at 01:17 — Leonard Niehaus, Jul 23 '18 at 01:17

I've forgot to put enctype="multipart/form-data" as an attribute of the second form. It works now!
