20.11. rnprofile.php

One of the first things that new users may want to do after signing up and logging in is to create a profile, which can be done via Example 20-9, rnprofile.php. I think you’ll find some interesting code here, such as routines to upload, resize, and sharpen images.

Let’s start by looking at the main HTML at the end of the code. This is like the forms you’ve just seen, but this time it has the parameter enctype='multipart/form-data'. This allows us to send more than one type of data at a time, enabling the posting of an image as well as some text. There’s also an <input...> type of file, which creates a browse button that a user can press to select a file to be uploaded.
