How to use JQuery post method [duplicate]

Question

$.post('image.php', { image:form.image.value } <form id="form" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" id="image" name="image"/>

PHP->isset($_FILES['file'])

How to use $.post() to post $_FILES inside of form tag?
Do I still need include enctype or do I need use AJAX, and how can I do that?

@picios It's not impossible, anymore. But, is limited to modern browsers. — Jonathan Lonowski

@Jonathan Lonowski yes, but if you're developer, you don't want to do such things — picios

Use jQuery form plugin to AJAX submit the form with files. http://malsup.com/jquery/form/

In JS

$('#form').ajaxSubmit({ success: function(response) { console.log(response); } });

in PHP

// after doing upload work etc header('Content-type: text/json'); echo json_encode(['message' => 'Some message or param whatever']); die();
