Hope something like this might do it for you mate... :)
html
//Include this script in head
<script src="http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js"></script>
The jQuery Form Plugin allows you to easily and unobtrusively upgrade HTML forms to use AJAX. The main methods, ajaxForm and ajaxSubmit, gather information from the form element to determine how to manage the submit process. Both of these methods support numerous options which allows you to have full control over how the data is submitted
<div id='preview'></div>
<form id="imageform" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action='ajaximage.php'>
<input type="file" name="photoimg" id="photoimg" />
</form>
Script File
$('#photoimg').on('change', function()
{
$("#imageform").ajaxForm({target: '#preview', //Shows the response image in the div named preview
success:function(){
},
error:function(){
}
}).submit();
});
ajaximage.php
if(isset($_POST) and $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
$name = $_FILES['photoimg']['name'];
$size = $_FILES['photoimg']['size'];
$tmp = $_FILES['photoimg']['tmp_name'];
$path = "uploads/";
move_uploaded_file($tmp, $path.$name) //Stores the image in the uploads folder
}
You could get the values of fields like action,route etc using $_POST inside the php file.For mare details check the below link mate.. :)
