I want to send a file alongwith other form data. Can any one suggest how to send file with data. Upload to be processed in PHP.

My code for index.html is below:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitForm(){
inputs = document.forms["regForm"].elements;
			var data = "";
	    for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
			var name=inputs[i].name;
			var value=inputs[i].value;
			var type=inputs[i].type;
			if(type != "file"){
				if(i == 0 ){
					data = name+"="+value;	
				}
				else{
					data = data+"&"+name+"="+value;
				}
			}
	    }
	var action="process.php";
	var url = action+"?"+data;

	var fileInput = document.forms["regForm"].elements["pic"];
	var file=fileInput.files[0];
			
	var xmlhttp;
	if(window.XMLHttpRequest)
	{
		xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
		}
		else
		{
			xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHttp");
		}

		xmlhttp.>
</head>

<body>
<form name="regForm" id="reg-form" method="post" action="process.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
	User Name	:	<input type="text" name="uname" id="uname" value="" />
    User Pic	:	<input type="file" name="pic" id="pic" value="" />
	    <input type="button" name="submit" id="submit" value="Register" onclick="javascript:submitForm();">
</form>
<div id="err"></div>
</body>
</html>

And in process.php am simply displaying the input and file attributes which will be returned as response text and displayed in div id "err". Once I receive no error and display all attribute queried in process.php I can continue with any further processing.

Code for process.php:

PHP

	if(isset($_REQUEST['submit']) && $_REQUEST['submit'] == "Register"){
	echo	$uname=$_REQUEST['uname'];
	echo	$pic=$_FILES['pic']['name'];
	echo	$pic=$_FILES['pic']['type'];
	echo	$pic=$_FILES['pic']['size'];
	echo	$pic=$_FILES['pic']['tmp_name'];
	}
?>

Thanks Peter but am looking for pure Javascript Ajax solution not JQuery Ajax.
